He sure will.
imo, Hamilton's move to Mercedes was all about ego and money. Moving from a team that has built championship winners/contenders for 40 years to a team that has shown they can't develop a car really proves this to me.
this is why i don't rate Hamilton as highly as Alonso & Vettel. He has the speed of those guys, but imo, over the years he's shown that he lacks the total commitment to winning titles that those two have.
I was never a huge Alonso fan until this year, but to come within 3 points of the championship in a dog of a car (especially early in the season) really speaks volumes about his game. To me, he was easily the best driver in F1 this year.
By comparison, what did Hamilton do when things didn't work perfectly? He'd take to twitter (or the press) and whinge about it. You never see the great champions do that. Think about Schumacher in his first 4 years at ferrari before they started dominating...he never once threw the team under the bus.
Like you said, Hamilton will regret the move. But i seriously doubt he'll ever admit it. |
