Hamilton's First Win.

Hamilton is lucky: he is driving a very, very good car in his first year in F1.
Having said that, I won't take anything away from his driving, which is outstanding. And don't forget, his team mate is the current WDC, and Lewis is tlloking every bit as good on the track as Fernando.

So yeah! we have a very good rookie driver in a very good car. It won't be long before he wins a race - that's a foregone conclusion. But I won't pick any particular race, because at some tracks, the Ferraris are faster, and at others the MackaLarens can match them. But I am sure it won't be long before lewis will stand on the top step of the podium. He is there on the podium not because a front runner has dropped out - he is there because he beats them.

And that!! is the mark of a true champion in the making.





Nah!!! forget bunsen :rolleyes:

im very surprised about this guy i think this races confirm how the gp2 is the best place to stay if you wanna go F1, i can´t wait when Briatore fire fisico or maybe Kova..... and Nelsinho start his career of F1 driver (no tester)

PD: remember that batles in 2006 Hamilton-Piquet......

This might be a silly question, but has anyone thats raced in F3000/F2 actually ever won a race in F1 yet?

At least one of them: Montoya.

Doohhh I'd forgotton about Monotya winning F3000, I never think of his career really taking off untill he went over to the USA.

that's a good question and I'll have to do some research on that. Off the top og my head I have an ominous feeling the answer won't be too impressive.

yep many of them I think, the ones I remember right now are: Alesi, Herbert, Alonso and Montoya, there's surely more.

now what's interesting is that all F3000/GP2 champions have failed to win a F1 championship

Massa was F3000 champion

Euro F3000 champ, not the "official" F3000 series

I looked it up after Ioan said Montoya, and he won the championship in 1998 with a record point score at the time.

But its a good point, the sucess in F3000/F2 hasn't been replicated in general in f1. Kimi, Button, and Schumacher etc have not takien that route.
