Hamilton to make early F1 debut

With the immediate release of Juan Montoya from McLaren, rumors suggest that Lewis Hamilton could drive in the final three F1 races of 2006, after he has secured the GP2 crown, which he should do before Monza. Pedro de la Rosa is replacing Montoya, but it may not be for all the remaining races. Hamilton was rumored to be getting a ride in 2007 with some team, perhaps McLaren, if there was a seat open. However, Alonso is already confirmed with the team and Kimi Raikkonen may stay with the team if he does not move to Ferrari or Renault.
