Long-term McLaren and Mercedes-Benz prot?g? Lewis Hamilton has been confirmed as a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes racing driver and will make his debut at the opening round of the 2007 Formula 1 World Championship in Australia. 21-year-old Lewis will join World Champion Fernando Alonso racing the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-22 during the 2007 season with both Pedro de la Rosa and Gary Paffett continuing as test drivers.
Lewis Hamilton:
It's a dream come true, To be racing in Formula 1 with McLaren has been the ultimate goal for me since I was very young and this opportunity is a fantastic way to end what has been the best year for me. I have grown up with McLaren and Mercedes and wouldn't be where I am today without their continued support and guidance. However I'm aware that this will be a challenge and I know that there will be a lot of attention on me. However the team has told me just to relax, do the best I can and enjoy the opportunity. I will work hard to get good results

Shouldn't you be supervising the bathtub construction? Besides, where's your shorts? You cannot walk in just like that.

I personally don't care how many emoticons you use but Ed asked us not to use any more than 10 in one message.

You're right about the 10 smiley limit. Snowy just got too excited I think.

No I am seriously not trying to do anything except warn you. I couldn't honestly remember if you were online when he told us.
I am happy for you that LH is getting a drive and I am looking forward to seeing how your boy goes. I would not expect much from him in his first year in but you never know I guess. Jacques did extremely well in his first GP and first year in F1.
