It's on globoesporte.globo.com, though it's all in portuguese.

A rough translation of what Hamilton said would be: "I want to be test pilot for McLaren next year, where I have been at already for the past 7 years. I would be happy with this, knowing that a year later, I'd have a full seat. It would be a good opportunity to know the car, fell the way the team works and get to know the circuits. There's no difference between this, and driving for a small team. Racing with Alonso would be more than a challenge."
Anyway, I don't know if it's really true, but it's there, and most of the times, Globo is right. They hinted that Piquet would move to Renault, 2 months before the deal happened. They also had the Webber thing pretty much nailed down, as they said he should be going either to Renault or Red Bull.
