Well, since I was going to write up the new Mercedes E Class coupe today, but that info went missing from the Merc website AND I was up far too early to watch practice for the German GP, AND Mercedes did just happen to have this really cool set of photos of Lewis Hamilton (defending world champion and McLaren-Mercedes driver) checking out the W25 from the 1930s AND tooling around the fabled Nürburgring Nordschleife … well, guess I got something ELSE to write about.
Lewis Hamilton, for those of you that don’t know, is something of a wunderkind in the racing world. He’s the first champion who’s of African descent (his dad is from Grenada, his mom’s from London), and, when he’s got a good car under him, he’s pretty damn quick. And given McLaren’s affiliation with Mercedes (technical partner and engine supplier to Ron Dennis’ team), doing something historic for the home grand prix seems in order.
