Default Lewis Hamilton

LOL....let the games begin. I bet NASCAR would kill for Hamilton to be in a Nextel Cup racer.

Money talks but I think Hamilton has come way too far to NOT be a F1 champion.

It's been Hamilton's dream to race for McLaren since he was a kid.

Ron Dennis has followed his career since Hamilton began racing and Hamilton hasn't disappointed him yet.

It appears like a match made in heaven. I highly doubt he'd make a jump to NASCAR.

Let him rack up a couple WDC first. Then lets see who bids for his services. I think he stays in F1 and continues to challenge for championships with Mclaren.

This is unrealisic, no way would Hamilton leave F1 for Nascar. Where he is from, very few know of or give a shit about Nascrap. He wants to win championships in F1, because it's the pinnacle of motorsports. He will win them too, because he is amazingly talented and with the current best team. Mclaren is a championship winning team, even if they have a slump, it woln't last for long.

Mclaren, or rather Ron Dennis, woln't let Hamilton leave the team for another, for a good long while. You can be sure though, if he parts with Mclaren in the future, it will be because there is a better team out there, and they would love to have him.

NASCAR? Really? I think not. That would be like Tiger Woods playing on the Hooter's Tour.

Lewis has the "missing" front tooth going on. He'd fit right into nascar.

No way. His experience is all formula cars and road courses. Not only would he not be good in NASCAR, but he can make a lot more money in F1.

NASCAR wouldn't want him nearly enough to pay him what he can get in F1.

in a predominantely white sport such as nascar, i would think that some fans would discriminate against hamilton due to his mixed race.
