As for Kimi, the FIA put him on probabtion because he was thought to be too inexperienced to race in F1! He too was seen as a remarkable talent and has more than justified the hype.
Hamilton will continue to do the same.

Lewis is definately "special". One of the curious aspects for me, is that after just one season he was able to collect hatred and bad feelings from such a lot of people in a way that reminded me very much of Michael Schumacher.

I don't have any doubt about Lewis' talent, It maybe, to tell honestly, on top of any current drivers.
Under no circumstance we have to be realistic, the unharmonized relationship among the driver and the team has cost them ironically falling down after such long period of leading.
If they tried playing the game with a bit of smartness, and put aside the personal show-off they could have win the title one and two perfectly.

I'm getting a hard time with this one, as with every human being you can like some things about his persona and some others not, but, if you are a real F1 fan, you can't deny that the kid has some serious skills and for a 22 year old rookie has an outstanding mental strenght, he has taken the McLaren way beyond everybody's expectations (leaving aside the fact that the Macca was a race-winning car and the personal link with his boss).
On the other side, he may appear a little cocky sometimes, but winners aren't very humble these days, in an ego-jungle as F1 is, you must be really secure about yourself if you don't want to be eaten alive by the media, sponsors or other drivers, specially at very young age, and sometimes he may sound naive and even over the top, with things like "I was born to be champion".. but he's ok, he still has a lot to learn, and with a new trend of bringing drivers at earlier ages these days, this has become a teen drama queen sport.
