To be critical of LH today, his last stint was poor. He dialled the correctly for the middle stint but the car didn't work well on the last stint with the harder tyres.
TBH, I hate words like 'mature' and 'experienced' to describe LH.
LH is a pure racer, cut from the same cloth as Gilles V, Senna, Mansell, Schumi.
LH will fight hard for position as hard as anyone. More than anything it takes intelligence, guts and balls of steel!
Hey Valve Bounce, this is what you've been missing!

Hamilton did a very good job. Although he clearly wasn't on the pace of Alonso, he did have to take a heck of a lot of pressure from the two Ferraris and he didn't make a mistake. That's his first race at Sepang too, can't wait until he gets to tracks that he is familiar with.
Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

This guy is the real guacamole!
My only criticism, and it's a small one, is that he could be more consistently smooth over the course of a full race!
Good show lad!!May the forza be with you

Alonso is quicker, but LH's move on the first corner, overtaking two Ferraris on the outside while he was slower and heavier than both of them, was the move of the race. This guy is pure racer, with instincts and intelligence. If Massa has improved this much in 3-4 years, I can only wonder where LH will end up.
He will win a race this season, that's for sure.Iceman: Adjective 1)Rapid, swift 2)Nickname of Kimi-Matias Räikkönen, a legendary Formula 1 driver

he's made a fantastic start, hopefully he can keep his head up when the bad weekend comes, and it will, although everything i've seen about his work ethic makes me belive he can fight through anything.
todays first few hundred yards were awesome, he had no right to get past both Ferraris, who conceivably were not looking behind, only in front, but the way he passed them both and then made the move stick over the course of the next 1 and half hours was brilliant.
and he certainly made Massa look like the junior on the grid, fast he may be, but if faced with adversity he too often fails rather than triumphs through it.
i don't see Massa winning on any other occasion other than when he starts at the front in the fastest car (and not even everytime then, check today!)"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
Meeke had a big gap to Rossel after stage 3 (20 sec) at stage 4 had a puncture and now the gap to Rossel is just 2 sec Gryazin strangely slow,anybody now why?...
