The other, possibly better question, is when do MB decide to go with a younger guy for development purposes and possibly salary saving purposes? Closely related to OP question though. Hammy ain't going to race forever and may just be postponing the inevitable and the team may have to make the decision for him.

The other related question is how many 'fans' and celebs will stop following F1 after he leaves? My opinion is that a large number of new, sort of fringe, fans are only interested because of him. Especially some of the celebs. Interesting to hear them say, Aston Martin has me here, but I'm rooting for Lewis. Pretty ballsy when another team is footing the bill.
