Jeez guys , was you guys watching the right race , Kimi deserved THAT RACE but Lewis was robbed of the championship through a mechanical fault resulting in 30 secs + delay , pure and simple..


Well the commentators on American TV speculated that Hamilton caused the problem to his own car by having that near incident and driving off the track (upset the onboard computers)...



McLaren driver Pedro Martinez de La Rosa said the same thing. The car was overheating due to Lewis excursion off the track and that caused the hydraulic problem.

IMO no pilot ever did what hamilton did for his 1st season


How many rookies have had the material that Hamilton has had this season?



Undoubtely non had. I can not remember a such unconditionaly supported pilot, with all the resources in F1.

BUT, the result is here, a very brilliant pilot, with a brilliant future, and with rookie mistakes. Apart the support Lewis Hamilton has had in his career, you can-t deny , his impeccable *in most cases*, pilotage....

and please, nothing to do with his hours of practice in the simulator!

A simulator is not the real thing!

He has unique conditions, as Alonso Has...as KIMI, The Champion.

The problem is not the pilots, but nasty manovers of much older and richer ones that really try to moove the *circus*



Undoubtely Hamilton is a great driver, but he has put himself at the level of Prost and Senna in some interviews, and that imho is excessive.
