Denthul what more do you want? he passed cars for the win today it wasnt flag to flag victory 
Where exactly did I say that today's drive was simple and that he didn't have to work for it?
What I
did say, and it's important that you read here, is that he hasn't quite done enough to be classed as master of the dry. Look at it like this:
Hamilton has won every dry victory from pole.
Massa has won every dry victory, barring one, from pole, but that one doesn't really count because he inherited the lead.
Hamilton has dominated his dry victories from pole.
Massa has dominated his dry victories from pole.
In every dry race where Massa has started at around tenth place or worse, he's driven quite badly and not been able to salvage much from the race.
In every dry race where Hamilton has started at around tenth place or worse, he's driven quite badly and not been able to salvage much from the race.
Now, to me, those are both almost identical circumstances and so I think it's quite fair to say that neither one of them has yet done enough in their Formula 1 career to grant them the title 'master of the dry'. The only difference is that Massa has had far more opportunity to prove it and has not done so (and probably will not, whereas I fully believe that Hamilton will, but not yet). I just think it is premature to be saying Lewis is the master of the dry when, in reality, he's really only dominated from the front. Like I said, I have no issue with saying he's very talented and will win world championships (although, somehow, you manage to pull that out of nowhere
) but at the moment, very talented has not quite reached the level at which most people are portraying him.

I don't think it's quite fair to call him a master of the dry just yet. Yes, he's had some brilliant dry-weather races in his Formula 1 career but, as of yet, he has only ever won a dry race from first on the grid. I want to see him come from the second half of the grid and take a podium and race victory from there, because so far that has been his downfall.
I would certainly hope it was Kovalainen letting him past in terms of the potential issues team orders would cause, but I also think that Kovalainen should have fought for that position. It's only half-way through the season and he needs to score as many points as he can to get closer to the top drivers.
Yes he started from pole but after the safety car he was 4th, and only that far up because of his pushing like hell. He pulled out 15seconds in about 6 laps and then overtook the remaining cars. you dont call that fighting back???
Kovi cant win the championship this year. Had it been earlier in the season he would have done differently. He fought Lewis at Silverstone on the first corner quite aggresively, he only let him past because he knew lewis wass considerably faster at that part of the race.
Yes, I know that, but he should have at least gone to show that he is capable of fighting off Lewis, which he most certainly is. He demonstrated his excellent driving and racecraft in the second half of last season, highlighting it at Fuji where he fought off Raikkonen, when the Ferrari was much better than the Renault, Raikkonen much more experienced than Kovalainen. Ultimately, Lewis would have made it past (probably on the next lap) and would still have taken Massa and Piquet easily enough. Kovalainen isn't showing his full potential at the moment, which is a shame, because it is quite clear that he has the raw pace to do it and the racecraft to back it up. :/
to all the sceptics.
