> Ferrari big bosses want Hamilton

Ferrari have reportedly been told to swoop for Lewis Hamilton by their bosses Fiat.

According to the Daily Mirror, the Italian car manufacturer want their F1 team to make a £17million raid on McLaren for the young British sensation.

Hamilton once again showed off his breathtaking talent by extending his lead in the title race with victory in Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix.

But afterwards all the talk was of the rift between him and McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso.

The Spaniard's future appears to be in doubt, but the Mirror claims it's Hamilton that could be the man being targeted for a move.

It claims Fiat are hoping Ferrari can capitalise on the internal strife at McLaren to lure Hamilton away to Maranello.

The British rookie is earning just £250,000 in his first season in Formula One, and the Italian giants would be happy to make him one of the world's highest-paid sportsmen.

Current Ferrari number one Kimi Raikkonen rakes in £22million per year, but Hamilton could even top that.

I know its unlikely but suppose that it happens, whom will he replace at Ferrari?

Massa , who else ? Highy unlikely that they get Kimi for one season and boot him out

nah not gonna happen imho.
That guy is in Mc camp all his life. I dont think he will even entertain the offer.

quite possible. But if they take him in, massa would sit out i guess.

Well if Ron leaves the team, I think there's more reason for him to join ferrari besides the pay.

Ron ? You mean Lewis

no he means Ron.

If Ron retires, then Ferrari is a better option for Lewis.
but I still think Lewis is made for Mclaren

why would ron retire ? hes the ceo plus team principle now right ? :O

^^ Well he's 60 now, and supposedly all this fiasco (the spygate and the driver gate scandal), isn't doing him much good. So he's considering retirement, and maybe handover his position to Martin Whitmarsh, the C.E.O. of Mclaren. He's reportedly been handing over all his duties gradually to Whitmarsh already, so when he does retire it wont be a huge loss for the team.
