British rookie Lewis Hamilton could yet make his grand prix bow in Brazil later this month after McLaren refused to rule out the possibility.

The 21-year-old GP2 champion only recently tested McLaren's Formula One car for the first time but is strongly tipped to become world champion Fernando Alonso's team-mate next year.

McLaren principle Ron Dennis, who has groomed Hamilton from the age of 13, gave a big clue he may start next season alongside the Spaniard by hinting he could be ready by March's Australian grand prix.

Meanwhile, Hamilton will continue to test at Jerez in Spain this week.

"Whether anything comes out of that to change our current thinking about the Brazilian GP, time will tell," Dennis told the Independent.

"We are not viewing that test as an evaluation of his driving ability. It's a chance for him to gain more mileage at a different type of circuit and for us to learn things that are important with regard to doing an event.

"If Lewis was given the opportunity to race in Brazil and again in Australia next March, he'd almost definitely go better in Melbourne - not through driving, just having put in test mileage."

Senna was an all out racer
They say no one was quicker than him on a single lap
Prost was more of a thinker and a smoother driver

Different styles, but both are effective. Senna has a concentration level that nobody can ever acheive. Prost meanwhile can adapt to changing condition better than anyone else. They were the BEST racer of their times.

McLaren has confirmed de la Rosa for Brazillian GP. We can't get to see Hamilton in action.

Teh silver arrows was a kudos to the orignal Mercedes car. It was used because Marlboro had pulled out from McLaren to Ferrari, and thus they wanted a legendary livery after the well known red and white one that they use with Marlboro from the 70's. McLaren has one of the best livery designer in F1, thus if they want to stick to the Silver Arrow theme, they still can do something about it.

Now 27...a lot of time to collect World Champion titles smile.gif
That is if he wish to stay long in F1.
But I reckoned he's not like Michael which wish to broke records etc.
I think Kimi will quit when he's 32.

Michael won his first at the age of 24/25 in 1994.
Controversial...a lot of it.

QUOTE
1994

Schumacher won his first World Championship in 1994 while driving for Benetton, in a controversial season marred by allegations of cheating and the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola.

Schumacher started the season strongly, winning six of the first seven races. Schumacher's domination was a surprise to the other teams, some of which levelled allegations of cheating. They claimed Benetton had found a way to violate the FIA-imposed ban on electronic aids, including Traction Control and Launch Control. On investigation, the FIA discovered "start sequence" (launch control) software in the Benetton cars, and a variety of illegal software in rival teams' cars as well. FIA had no evidence the software was ever used, so teams found with the software received little to no punishment. No traction control software was found to be in the Benetton cars, however. Additionally, while Schumacher managed to claim 66 points in 7 races(70 possible points), his teammates only managed to make a single point in the very same amount of races. Flavio Briatore, who is currently the chief of Ferrari's biggest rivals, said that Benetton never used any illegal software, and the only thing Benetton was guilty of was being too successful for too young of a team.

After Senna's death, Damon Hill inherited the responsibility of fighting for the championship for the Williams team. Despite Hill having the superior car, he struggled to keep pace with Schumacher. Due to several mid-season controversial disqualifications and bans for Schumacher, however, he began to close the gap in the standings. In the British Grand Prix, Schumacher was penalised for overtaking on the formation lap. He then ignored the penalty and the subsequent black flag during the race, for which he was disqualified and later given a two-race ban. Benetton blamed the fiasco on a communication error between the stewards and the team. Schumacher was also disqualified after winning the Spa after his car was found to have illegal wear on its skidblock. Benetton protested that the skidblock had been damaged when Schumacher spun over a kerb, but the FIA rejected their appeal, allowing Hill to close the points gap even further.

Leading by a single point going into the final race in Australia, Schumacher clinched the title after colliding with Hill in a controversial incident, taking both drivers out
