Maybe that good last race before the break was enough to make him optimistic.

He also started Kimoa, a surf/lifestyle brand. Not sure how it’s doing, but being a meme is certainly helping with it. The free exposure that brand got during the 500 was priceless.

I suppose there’s some truth to his statements. He’s racing the best he can, the team is working as hard as they can, he’s getting paid more than anybody else. Personally , that’s got to be pretty good.

Now, professionally? Ouch. We’ll see if he sticks with McLaren Honda next year. If he does.

Seems like he’s mentally in a good place — having fun in spite of it all — and he’s pretty much given an ultimatum to the team, so he knows that next year, he’ll either have a competitive ride with McLaren-Honda, or he’ll be driving on a team where he can compete. His past moves have not been done with the best timing, though... so we’ll see. He’s 36, so he clearly doesn’t have any seasons left to waste to regain his former glory.

I don’t know what I’m going to do with all that free time I’ll have if he’s not with McLaren Honda anymore.

Every tried to contact him directly to let him know you were the one that started it all? That’s at least worth a free hat, right?

Nah. If he was curious he could have figured it out. My twitter handle is in a few articles about it.

.... but a free hat, team jacket, or a VIP trip to Monaco would be nice gesture..

It would be! Any or all of those things!

You should take your very first #Places... tweet (or maybe the first 3, as a triptych), print it high quality, frame it, and send it to him.

The mural they painted in parc ferme at Silverstone was based off the first one. I can’t compete with that. :)

True, but he can’t put that on his desk.
