Hamilton and Kovalainen are a bit like Senna and Prost in fact, only much better buddies. If I were a team boss in F1, I'd love to have Kovy in my team. And Lewis. Thinking about it, McLaren probably have the best driver lineup at the moment, so if I were Ron Dennis I would sign them both for another three years at the very least.
Many will disagree with you on that one. Have a look at PF1, see what they had to say. Especially Alonso. I hate to say this, but they are so biased :D

You were saying that they are buddies, they get along quite well. But people at another online forum think differently. They say Heikki (obvoiusly)is the #2 in the team because he is nowhere near Hamilton; Thay favor Hamilton because he is Dennis' investment. That is why Mclaren decided to retain him for another season: Because he plays along. And I don't know what they're point is. They are making such a big deal of nothing

First of all sorry for late reply, I kinda forgot about this thread.

Second, even if it were true that Heikki is #2 at McLaren, in what way would that make him less of a "buddy" to Lewis? Maybe he is completely satisfied with being #2 in the (second?) best team in F1, at least for the moment - I know I would. :)

I know what you mean. Heikki looks and acts like he is very contented with his position. If he got a little closer to Lewis, then I think McLaren would give him more preference on strategies etc...

My point exactly. As I've in my previous posts, they're fighting for the championship. Strategies plays a big part in this. People can't see the bigger picture of things. For me, I wouldn't mind not winning the championship soon. As long as I score points, get podium finishes, fight with other drivers and just have fun :D
