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 R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen at McLaren Mercedes in 2010, as confirmed by the British driver’s father, Anthony Hamilton.<\/p>\n
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 R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen, he added, even though I have nothing against Heikki. We’ve always considered him a great teammate and he’s done a good job.<\/p>\n
\u00ab 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. \u00bb Concluded the father of the young Englishman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
