LH won that race fair & square....
If it wasn't for FOUR safety car's, he would of lapped most of the field and probably pulled out a gap of over 30 secs from NH...

Well done Lewis and Co...

Exactly.Lewis did a fantastic job for a rookie,under a lot of pressure from such a chaotic race.He drove with the maturity of a future world champion.
That surely has to be the best race of the season so far,i hope the rest of the season produces more quality driving like that.I wish Kubica a speedy recovery as well.
Britain has waited a long time for a driver like Hamilton,who would think that we would have a rookie leading the title hunt,& a abarit into the bargain?
The atmosphere at Silverstone is going to be superb next month.I do wish Hamilton had left his win until then,but if he can produce a solid drive like Canada,then us Brits are going to be very happy & very proud of him.
Well done Lewis,on a superb performance,Alonso must be feeling a little worried ,& the great Schumacher senior,will be proud of you,& i bet he was one of the first to congratulate you.

Best race of the season so far! Thank goodness Kubica is ok, when he crashed i though "1994? please no!" I admit i feared the worst. But thankfully, after that horrific crash, he got a broken leg. I really like Kubica and i can see him as a future race winner.


Back to Lewis. Can he win the championship this year? I think he can. But not without one hell of a fight from Alonso and Massa. I feel that at the rate he's going, Kimi's out of it. But i'll never write him off. I just don't see him winning it this year.

<Yes, Hamilton is a talented driver, but I agree with previous comments. He is in the best car, the true test of his abilities would have been to start in something like Toyota or Red Bull and then come up to the premier teams. >

How can you qualify this?
A true test of abillity is being able to compete with a senior partner who has just come off from two consecutive wins!!! furthermore suffering in a lower team is not the only proof. While its good luck to start in the best team, you must be able to live up to the potenital and expectation there. And he has exceeded these IMO, he has done more than what is expected at this level (best car out there/ WDC teamamate). What futher proof do you need? I bet he could compete favourably if he was in BAR, Renault or Toyota possibly Ferrari too!!

Lewis "Genious" Hamilton didnt know the Canadian circuit before the race. Now the circuit knows the Genious.

LH reminds me of Schumacher, when he was driving for Benetton. Not one of the best cars on the circuit yet he was challenging Senna for podium places.

I can't believe Alonsos comments ..... "Hamilton was lucky to win the race" etc, claiming a fortunate timing of the safety car as the reason for his success. Smacks of sour grapes to me. It is common knowledge that a safety car intervention in a race only ever benefits racers that are not in the lead .... (which incedently was the position of Hamilton every time) and with the new rule of lapped drivers being able to overtake the safety car and return to the back of the pack even more pressure is put on the leader. The truth is that Alonso now realises that Dennis is prepared to give equal support to both drivers and that the crown he so precariously wears is about to get tipped off. Good Luck Lewis! you deserve it. bubbly
