Any of the top drivers would jump at the chance to drive that car with a chance of winning the drivers title as it is so far in front of the others. Unless Ferrari or somebody can get near to it LH would not think of leaving them unless he was sacked I wouldnt think.
He is British but choses not to live here I know it is as a tax exile but that takes the gloss off of it for me. I prefer a true Brit who lives and pays tax here, very rare I know with the wealthy.
It is me that has no knowledge and little interest in F1 not my brother who flies around the world to watch it when time permits. I am only interested because LH is 'british'.
He has met and had drinks with both and I think that the general attitude of both would have had some baring on his view and rating of LH, he is probably slightly biased concerning his driving skills.
