The father of the young 2008 world champion said to the Finnish press that he had no objections whatsoever to the Finn joining McLaren. Anthony Hamilton dismissed the rumors on the matter by stating that Iceman was the best choice for McLaren.
Lewis Hamilton has so far expressed his desire to keep Heikki Kovalainen by his side, which raised speculation. He did not want to be challenged by the occupant of the sister car. But according to the latest news, the British driver would like to face Kimi Räikkönen at McLaren Mercedes in 2010, as confirmed by the British driver’s father, Anthony Hamilton.
Firstly, I must say that neither Lewis nor I have any influence on the decision, said Anthony Hamilton. But if I had to choose between Kimi and Heikki, I would choose Kimi Räikkönen, he added, even though I have nothing against Heikki. We’ve always considered him a great teammate and he’s done a good job.
« Kimi is a cool guy. I think he is the ideal candidate and the best driver the team should have alongside Lewis, they would push each other. » Concluded the father of the young Englishman.
