Can McLaren Give Lewis a Fitting Brazilian?



It's twilight time for Lewis Hamilton. After being under the wing of McLaren for a mere seventeen years, the world has watched in awe, shock, disappoint at times, and always with great interest in Lewis' rise to the very pinnacle of Motorsport.
After this weekends race in Brazil, as is common knowledge now, Hamilton will move to pastures new at Mercedes-AMG, where for the meantime at least, the grass certainly doesn't look any greener. So then, can we hear the curtain call of one of the world's fastest men challenging for stardom? Sadly, those echoes are getting louder.
Going into the Brazilian Grand Prix, Hamilton is by far the man on the move, in more ways than one. His and McLaren's pace since the Singapore Grand Prix back in October has been clear for all to see, and, minus a string of torrid reliability woes, the British combination would almost certainly be alongside Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso in the title fight at this perilously late stage.
So with the 2012 title out of reach, can Lewis and his adopted Motorsport family based in Woking manage one last hoorah? It'd be fitting wouldn't it; at an Interlagos circuit that in 2008, gave team and driver the Drivers' World Championship in staggering circumstances, on the last lap, at the last corner, of the last race...
The team certainly have momentum, having out-gunned Red Bull down in the deep south in Texas last weekend, and with a fired-up Lewis widely regarded to be in the form of his life, you'd be a brave or simply stupid man to look past him for the perfect parting of ways of a truly amazing partnership grace F1 since 2007. Lewis Hamilton at McLaren, is soon to be an emotional story for the history books.
