Hamilton gets gag removed by McLaren
November 2012
Despite his contract not officially expiring until the end of December, McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh has said that Lewis is allowed to speak without being told what to say by the team’s PR department. This is the first time an outgoing McLaren driver has been allowed to break his vow of silence since 1981.
Although he is allowed to exercise his vocal chords, Hamilton’s contract still requires him to use the phrase “the team did a fantastic job” at least another six times between now and the end of December. Whitmarsh also made it clear that Hamilton isn’t allowed to post anything on Twitter that might make him look like a bell-end while he is still technically an employee of McLaren.
Hamilton said he is looking forward to being able to be more himself rather than having to conform to McLaren’s corporate uniform and is looking forward to being able to wear more extravagant dude-rings and cover his forearms in more homo-erotic tattoos. According to an inside source, his new contract with Mercedes gives him more time to chill with his homies on the West Side, bust some caps with his ho, have the letters G.A.Y on his helmet and also allow him to get his foreskin pierced.
