again i thought we were talking about the British GP not the season as a whole and more to the point Lewis' wet weather skills?

i dont care what excuses you anti hamilton camp can throw out there, any driver who can finish 68 seconds ahead of P2 is more than just an alright wet weather driver.

Tall poppy syndrome, being an Aussie you should know what it means, when someones up there on the top you gotta bring them down a few steps no matter what....

68 seconds sounds good when you say it but look at some of the facts and you will see that it could have been very different. Hammy was not 68 seconds better as a driver than everyone else. The team strategy had a lot to do with it along with Ferrari's monumental FU.

We aren't really getting anywhere here are we bud.
OK you think hammy is the best thing since sliced bread & I don't think he is................................ Just yet

One thing that aided Hamilton was the way in which his McLaren works the tyres harder than the Ferrari - a pain in the dry - but in the wet, the Brit was able to keep heat in his intermediate tyres when others could not.

One race does not make you a rainmaster. I was impressed by Hamilton's drive, in that he kept it on the track (well almost) without overdriving (like he did during qualifying). I was expecting at least one mistake given China last year, Brazil and the pit limiter, Canada with the red light, and France where he drove like me!

My money's still on Raikkonen winning!

Not at all bud. Just can't stand all the crap that goes on & I am not blindly devoted.

Kubica has just done as good a job if not better, in an inferior car.
So in your eyes The Hameroide is a tall poppy, but not mine mate.

kubie's v.good but he stuffed it in the wet. This thread is about in the wet.

Great points!
of course, credit is due to the driver for taking advantage of the situations at hand and turning them into a convincing win. But until there is a trend... far from being a rainmaster. One thing that has been a trend is Ferrari's inability to deal with adversity and the inconsistency of all the 3 leaders.

As for the explanations on the article... yeah yeah very good ability to make seudo-educated propaganda sound like ultra scientific and analytical reality...

Good points, never even thought of that.

Yes it was a mature drive from somebody under a lot of fire, perhaps his first sign of real maturity this season...

actually he has won 3 wet races out of 7 wins

and what happened to the 4 that he lost, in particular the one that he threw the Championship out the window Out of curiosity, I wish we can put drivers like Hamilton, Kimi, and Robert in a Force India for one race and see how well they do without a great car, maybe a pay per view event.
