that's gonna be a HARD job though... between the car being 4th fastest, at best,(although who knows what next year will bring) and that i expect hamilton to be patient with that for a total of say, 2 grand prix, there's gonna be some ugly moments coming on that team... for example, lewis's "power of personality" is going to completely overwhelm nico next year... it's been relatively "easy" for nico the last couple years, all he had to do was stay ahead of the old guy in qualifying, and he was immune to criticism...
but two things are going to change greatly for him next year... as much as i love schumi, lewis is WAY faster than he is at this point in time, and he is likely to make nico look very bad... and lewis completely dominates nico when it comes to "aura of f1 driver", if you get my point... lewis may crush nico emotionally, in addition of crushing him on the track...
Nico ain't in the same league as Hamilton when it comes to driver's skills.
Nice kid, but not likely to be world champion.
I am counting the races until LH loses his cool and tells the world just how crappy the Mercedes team is...

what i'd REALLY like to see michael do is buy out bernie...

THAT is the job he needs, and by relieving us of bernie, he'd be making a contribution to the sport that would really put a cherry on his career... i have faith in michael that he wouldn't make decisions based solely on how big of a check someone writes him...
That is an interesting thought, but I don't know if he has the $$$.
Seeing MS in some kind of management position somewhere would be good for the sport.
He is a certified legend.
