Another "first" - Hamilton is the first rookie to lead the WDC. There is a proviso - excluding 1950 when the three leaders were all rookies in the championship since there wasn't a championship before that date. In 1950 it was Farina/Fangio/Johnny Parsons. Is it my imagination, or is there something unusual about this year? :-) |

Shaping up to be an exciting season - no thanks to Renault. Seriously,
we all should be
ticked off at Renault for not being there and making this exciting season an
awesome season. Instead of four drivers in the chase we could have Fisi and
maybe Heikki nipping at the heels. What a let down Renault is. Maybe BMW
will improve a little more and jump in on the points chase. Can't wait to
see the U.S. Grand Prix this year. And for the first time in a few years
I'm strongly considering subscribing to Autosport magazine again.

Schumacher, and rookies that are young and talented, especially Lewis
Hamilton, and some one put a tack under Hienfeld's seat.

Or does countback not count until the end of the season? Surely LH is third? By my reasoning : Kimi is leading with 1st, 3rd, 3rd Fred is second with 2nd,1st, 5th Should Kimi be ahead of Fred? Are two third places better than a second and a fifth? According to the points system, 1st + 3rd + 3rd are equally as good as 2nd + 1st + 5th. According to the tie-breaking rules, one second place beats any number of third places. |
