very much like how this thread has developed since your post eazzzzy. its good to hear so many say they are not anti LH and instead cuss the media, pity they can't do it normally without a kick up the backside. ofc the media are gonna be backing LH, this is the UK, Mc is UK team, LH is from UK. thats how it is. i bet its different in Finland and Spain and Brazil and all have a good enough claim to have the best driver, or the best rookie or whatever. me, its obvious ... i think LH is the best thing thats happened to F1 in a long time, since the great Senna (but only my opinion), note the best thing to happen to F1, not the best driver. but i also think we are gonna see a great deal of LH on the podium, and in the hunt for WDC for many years to come. just my opinion but i reckon he has the stuff that can achieve greatness. i also reckon that this would mean nothing if the likes of KR, FA, Massa and HK and Kubica were not around to set a standard for him to live up and dare i say .... surpass.

Looks very much like the qualifying times in the results list on the first page are wrong... have a look.

According to the qualifying times in your results list, Rosberg, Barrichello, Button and Vettel should occupy the first 4 places on the grid...

Honestly He Is The Star Because He's A Black Young British Driver. In His Early Career He Was Given Funding But Werent Giving Any Money To A Kid The Same Age That Was Just As Talented Maybe More So But Mclaren Never Funded Him Because He Doesnt Have The Oppourtunity To Become A National Icon He'd Just Be Another Brithish Driver Even If He Did As Well As LH Has.
I Know That I Sound Racist But It's The Truth When Hamilton Joined Mclaren There Was Always Gonna Be A Situation With Fernando But Definetly Fernando Is The Most Talented While Lewis Is A Good But Not Spectacular Driver. If He Wasnt Black He Would Be Another Jenson Button. I Do Feel Sorry For Him For Being Abused By Fans Though

no, I'm white but my wife is black and mixed are our children. So I can speak.

I'm just repeting bernie's words in an interview that probably your press did not report in your island..

He said actually even worst: "Too bad that Lewis is not also Jewish because he could could catch the blacks AND the jews markets"

It is all about the money baby....

Insane....he and Max are really an embarassment to the human race.

I admit it i detest LH,abd love it when things go wrong for him. He is good but not that good,his time may come, i hope not as its bad enough seeing his sickly smile all the time.

LH is a media driver with a very good car.FA is an excelent driver with a media car, but this year FA will end the championship winning some race.

Lewis Hamilton has to be the best British talent to race an F1 car since Damon Hill. There is no doubt in my mind Lewis can win the title this year.

As for this Turkish Grand Prix i think both Mclarens are heavier than both Ferrari's. I think its more a Massa v Hamilton rather than Kimi v Massa for the race victory.

What a race! Massa was excellent, Hammilton was superb and Kimi as usual was cool. Very unfortunate situation for Heiki, the puncture could have happened to anyone. This is what formula1 is about! Great race from the drivers. Take the positive feelings from the drivers and try to be positive. Until Monaco, have a nice time!
