Eu não peço, Alonso sim!

Lewis Hamilton denies asking for number one status at Mercedes

Lewis Hamilton has strongly dismissed suggestions he wants a clause in his contract stating that he is Mercedes' number one driver.

Lewis Hamilton has denied asking for number one status at Mercedes – a luxury which he believes both Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel have written into their contracts.

Despite agreeing to the terms of a contract extension last month with Mercedes, Hamilton is still yet to put pen paper on a new deal with the Silver Arrows, prompting speculation that the two parties may have hit an impasse after the world champion demanded number one billing ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg.

But Hamilton has emphatically denied making any such demand for preferential treatment – and for good measure thrown in with what will be interpreted as a dig at Ferrari’s Vettel and McLaren driver Alonso, the Englishman's team-mate during a single turbulent season in 2007.

“I’ve never, ever, ever asked for a number one clause,” Hamilton told Sky Sports News HQ. “Sebastian will have that. Fernando always asks for that. I have never, ever asked for that.

“I want to beat the guy, at his best, next to me and then I’ll know where I stand. It’s never been a case of wanting to tie someone’s hands behind their back and beat them and be happy with it. I know a lot of people here would be happy with that, but that’s not me.”

UAU... eu não sabia que o Hamilton era tão influente assim para ler o contratos dos outros pilotos! Nossa, ser campeão do mundo hoje em dia ganha o direito para isso também?!?! Isso para mim é novidade! 

Pôxa, na época do Alonso não tinha estas coisas... Deve ser para já vai fazer muuuuuito tempo, né?! hehehe

Hamilton está apenas sendo Hamilton... normal para o perfil dele! Depois de 8 anos, já estou mais do que acostumada com o estilo do sujeito... hehehe

Bjusss, Tati
