Ted Kravitz - the German GP from the pit lane 3:14pm on 15 Jul 2009 What complete tosh to even suggest that Hokky Kokky Lainen is in the same driving category at Lewis Hamilton or any of the top drivers for that matter. He has consistently proven that he doesn't deserve to be in a top set, in fact maybe not in the Formula at all! He badly let Lewis down last season and spent most of this moaning.

Adrian Suttil will get the second McLaren seat next year, mark my words.
Hamilton releases the pressure 4:51pm on 08 Jun 2009 Now I will preface this by saying I am Lewis fan, but that aside my point I believe to be unbiased and I do wish Jenson well.
That said for all of you talking about Jenson's loyalty and hard work to get him to where he is today, can we please remember the following:
- Jenson was contractually FORCED and financially incentivised to stay with the Honda team, when he had all but signed for the (relatively) more successfully Williams team back in 2003
- Ross Brawn's only alternative to Jenson was an unproven GP2 driver and so rather than placing trust in Jenson skill, was forced to hope he was up to the job.
There is no doubt that Jenson is a smooth driver and caresses a car around a lap, equally he has stripped Rubens this season. But can we really say that he will be as worthy a champion as Kimi in '07 and Lewis in '08..... For my money Im afraid not. The Brawn car is just too superior .5sec a lap conservatively. So whilst I wish Jenson well, I think Lewis's driving performance in Istanbul showed true class and for my money was the drive of the day. Just getting that McLaren to complete one lap seemingly is an accomplishment.
For this season Congratulations Ross Brawn (with over a years development) for his and his design team's interpretation of the new rules and on out-designing Adrian Newey.
Ross Brawn is our 2009 F1 champion and Jenson has been his passenger.
