Lewis Hamilton is in talks about staying with McLaren Mercedes next year, or going somewhere else. He has just won the Hungarian Grand Prix and earned his 19th victory trophy since he started in Formula 1 in 2007 at the McLaren team. The McLaren team, at its factory, has a massive collection of all the trophies won by the team and its drivers. The drivers are given replicas, and the team keeps the original.
Hamilton has just told the British press that he is trying to negotiate with the team that he keep his trophies. Knowing McLaren, I cannot imagine how the team would give in to Lewis’s apparent demand that he keep the original and the team gets a replica! It will be interesting to watch….
