If Lewis can move from England to $witzerland for tax benefits, I dont see why he cant be driving for Ferrari one day.

I don't think it'd be money that sways him, as he is reputed to be on for earning crazy amounts in his career through endorsments alone.

Re: the childhood dream of driving for Ferrari, from everything I've read, it was Lewis's childhood dream and ambition to drive for McLaren.

If it is only for money, I think he would end up at Toyota..

runshaw should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
This money talk is nonsense. I am sure Mclaren would significantly raise his salary if he even so much as looked at a Ferrari seat.

I agree, as far as Lewis is concerned he's in his dream team now. Also his hero, Mr Senna never felt the need to drive a red car so why should Hamilton

That's not true, just check in any biographical books to see why and why not.

I feel as long as Mac provides a competitive car he will stay there. There is really no need to go to Ferrari.
As with any driver if they start losing and losing badly he will jump ship especially if he has not won any titles.

I don't think thats true. People at the end of the 1999 season were saying why is Schumacher putting up with Ferrari and why not go to Mclaren? But Michael said, (in a similar fashion to how Lewis says he will only ever race for Mclaren), that he would end his Grand Prix career with Ferrari. Ferrari is etched in Schumacher's identity, and that is the case with Hamilton and Mclaren.

Could it be due to the fact that Ferrari and Philip Morris is paying MS so well that it doesnt make sense for both him and his manager to consder driving for Mclaren?

Lewis in the Ferrari would be something to behold. Anyone watching the sport knows who are the Man Utd of F1, ie. get a lot of decisions in their favour...i really don't think the results are 'rigged' against just Lewis, for proof of that, watch the 2006 season DVD again...

In answer to the question 'yes', i reckon he will...alongside Vettel, perhaps...as Di Resta lines up for McLaren...
