Maybe this is Hamiltons year! I´ll hope so, he is adding youth spirit to the F1!

 

I hope so too Fredrik. He has been my favorite driver since he was a youngster.

But the McLaren car will almost certainly struggle through the first 5 races.

They completed the fewest testing miles of any team and the car just did not run properly.

This is not your typical sandbagging. They have real issues.

I am sure they will sort it out, but not early in the year.

 

If I were a betting man, I wouldn't put money on Hamilton this year but I do wish him the best.

 

Considering that McLaren just shelved their radical exhaust system (read: ace-in-the-hole), I agree.

I'm also not ruling out a team switch next year. There are too many rumblings in the press to discount the possibility.

 

Here comes 2009!

Oh wait.

 

Sounds like he is setting up an eventual departure from Mclaren.

Lewis has his flaws, so did Michael but he was good enough to overcome a flawed chassis, as tough as that is to do. Lewis' style of driving is complemented by a perfect chassis which is what separates him from the top 2 in the field at the moment. He has had enough time in Woking to develop a working relationship with the engineers who we all know need that feedback from the drivers to improve the car.

He is super talented and I wish him the best. Enough of that BS though, he needs to evolve and help the team win races.

 

I'd say Lewis is the reason they won races last year. Not discounting Button one bit.

 

Regardless of what it will be an interesting season, that I like!
