Lewis Hamilton Balls of Steel

[fizzicist]

I don't really need to say much do I. We've known he was the business for years now!

My only criticism of Lewis is that he needs to learn set the car up to be a little less oversteery, as the state of his rear tyres at the end of the last stint was pretty scary.

however, he's out there doing it, and we're all in here talking about it, so who are we to criticise. Lewis is staggering at times - that first stint was one of the best displays of racing I have ever seen.

That's how he likes to drive the car!

Just like Schumi and Mansell LH turns in early, carries loads of speed and hangs on to the car with the throttle through hi-speed corners!

Obviously with that kind driving style its not very kind to the rears. LH just needs to learn how to set the car up and refine his driving style so as not to destroy the rears.

Okay, folks... let's lay odds on when it gets said.

'He's auto racing's answer to Tiger Woods...'

You know it's coming, I know it's coming....

Coming?

As an avid reader of the British press, I can tell you that that horse bolted long ago my friend.

Was thinking that earlier, I'd be surprised if it hasnt already been said.

I just can't help but smile thinking about the "article" on sniffpetrol about him, i'll wait for the end of the season on my opinion. ;M)

McLaren IMO will favour Alonso this year.

I agree. FA is the defending champ and while Hamilton looks great I think it is best to err on the side of caution. If Hamilton keeps getting podiums and Alonso falters along the way then I can see them letting Hamilton go for race wins (not saying that they aren't already).

AT least we now know why Ron Dennis was so eager to get Lewis in a race seat!!!

Too late. That title belongs to Greg Ray. Jack A-root said so.

Imagine if RD had put PDLR in the car instead...wonder what PDLR and Paffet is thinking at the moment.

Btw, this race reminded me of Macau GP 2 years ago. The local media were all reporting about the 2nd generations of drivers as prospect winners. Then Hamilton came from unknown (to the Asian continent, at least) to snatch pole and went on the win.

Would have loved to hear from the likes of Piquet and Rosberg seniors about Hamilton's rookie year.
