Why Hamilton is expected to drive the Alpha Romeo or Haas to prove himself I don't know. He wasn't some randomer McLaren picked up off the street for his first year, they obviously saw talent in him. Not to mention he joined Mercedes when they had won previously zilch at the time after returning

Killinator wrote: » Even if he did and he knew they were in with a great chance of winning, it's not exactly unheard of for a driver to try and get to what they think is the best team. Neither Vettel or the God amongst men to some, Alonso, joined Ferrari thinking they be a **** show. They joined as they thought it would give them a shot at the title.Yet we're told Hamilton's titles mean less or don't count because his choice worked out and the other guys didn't. Rosberg drove a dominant Merc, why isn't his title questioned. Buttons Brawn was in a league of 2 for the first half of his title winning season . These drivers are used as a stick to beat Hamilton , but no one is saying their titles don't count or mean less because let's face it they are not in with a chance of breaking the great Schumi's 7....well is it really 7, can we count the titles he 'walked' or was 'gifted'. Maybe he's closer to 5. And Senna, maybe 2 if we discount the 'easy' ones

And actually showing Lewis to be good but not great or legendary and it would probably take him down a peg or two.

Fair play to him but winning in the Merc is much easier when compared to the crap Ferrari. Think about it this way - would Hamilton win the championship in the Ferrari?
