What a bore. "cry more noob" You have me at a loss your rant is absolutely meaningless and out of place. Dunno Bird, i understood what he meant perfectly. #1 driver of a red car, close to another and yet, no casualties. That's a new thing. ;-p in your weakass mind maybe  ...the thing is...as soon as hamiltonbreaked hard the second time and turned the corner, and massa flew to the grass, the initial thought was "he baited him", which turned out to be true later, so it was hamilton that caused massa to think that there was an oportunity to overtake, and there really wasnt...to me it looks like superb move by hamilton, just like it was at start, and i can just laugh at the sad explanations that ferrari boys LET him do anything...better luck next race He nipped under Kimi and that was ok, but Massa he should have never passed. Massa screwed up royally and that is what gave Hamilton the position. Even after that, LH was slower than Massa, it's just that again and again, Massa screwed up. I disagree, Frank. I think LH was playing the team game all the way, slowing up the red boys. Massa was lost in Alonso and didn't notice LH creeping up at his side. That should not have happened and once Massa got in front, i don't think LH would have been able to keep Kimi behind or challenge Massa again. At least not then. He did match Alonso's times later on, and, let's not forget, record the fastest race lap. Kimi could do bugger all so close behind two cars fighting for a position and by the time he could have, LH was up to speed and too hard to handle. The kid is really that good. So which is it? Massa screwing up, or Hamilton being "really that good"? Massa screwed up. There is no doubt. Hamilton is damn good. There is no doubt. It just shows that you need a bit of luck. Lewis is turning out to be all that was predicted. The only thing that bothers me now is that thing he said about "tricking Massa". We can argue all day about that, but it looks to me as if LH is starting to play media mind games already and i really don't like that bullshit.. Why not? If you can beat your opponent before they even get in the car, all the better for you. Depends on how you look at it. We all know that motor racing involves mind games, but i still don't have to like it. Do you have a problem with Graham Hill's old trick of glancing over to the driver next to him on the grid, and pointing at his rear wheel as if something were amiss, right before the green light? Certainly do. Drive the damn car better than the guy in the other car. Do you have a problem with sledging in cricket? |

By all means this kid is unbeleivable so far, but let's not create myths about him just yet. ;-) |
Lewis is driving F1 about as he did GP2... he's the next Mansell.
