No need to say your point of view because I know exactly what's behind it and it isn't nice. You Hamilton guys are like Massa fans over here. All talk and no action, always blaming the others for incountable failures like the whole universe was conspirating against your favorite driver and a trillion coincidences happened at the same time to the others. Go back and look at the races of your own favorite driver before start picking on Alonso, Kubica and Webber.

Although I am a Lewis fan, I am an F1 fan foremost. What I stated was merely on the Australian GP at the weekend. I for 1 will be the first to say when Lewis makes mistakes. And he has made his far share. But the AUS GP on the weekend was vastly different than has been said here.

To mention Kubica, Button and Alonso for great drives on Sun and not Lewis is wrong. Alonso has had many great drives with lower finishes with elements completely not down to him to. Without a doubt Lewis drove fantastic on Sunday, just the fact he was overtaking hard opponents said alot about his race that day. He was extremely unlucky. Others were good, but had lots of luck involved. Button had to much credit for something many F1 fans will say he had littl control over. I knew before he pitted he was gonna be first just by his laptimes for example.

Dont put me in the bracket of LEwis fans in the UK. We support our own, but many of us dont support blindly. He is not the best ever. He has the potential, just like Shui, Aryton and Mansell had the potential when they were in their 4th seasons. They werent greatthen. They were potentials at that point.

Eh. I took a long time to answer because I thought you would come overboard like I did in my answer lol. I have to agree Hamilton is a great driver - he's extremely good when comes to overtaking, deserved 2008's championship and brings excitement to otherwise boring races.

 

Ahem. Changing subject to present race.

Man, that Alonso guy is wicked good! Five laps on the race's top 10 with damaged gearbox and a full 0.6s above Massa's best time (which got seventh and the leadership by circumstances unlikely to repeat). Too bad he broke in the last laps...

Button showed again he's somewhat good at handling old tyres. Good performance for Kubica, Rosberg and the Force Indias. No need to mention the RBRs, just took their cars calmly through the race and into the top spots.

Schumacher kept his Raikkonen-like luck from the last race it seems. Bad days for him even though he finally closed on Rosberg on the pratices. Still lacking attitude on the races though.
