Thanks. It's certainly not a surprise that the first name that came to the interviewer's head was Hamilton. Why not another driver?
In terms of the record, anything is possible, I suppose, but the following sentence will contradict itself: there is a lot of young drivers about. As drivers, such as Hamilton or Vettel are young, they have plenty of racing left in them, but as there are several of them, is it not likely that they'll each take success of one another? In the 1980s, for instance, Prost, Mansell, Piquet and Senna were all very good drivers who achieved a lot of success, but not as much as they perhaps could have done given the quality of the opposition. Another thing, of course, is technical equipment. At the moment, people are saying it's time for Honda, Red Bull, Williams, BMW and Renault to get their acts together, and for McLaren and Ferrari to always be there, but it's almost impossible that all of those teams are going to be on the same level as one another at the same time. Therefore, as good as Hamilton, Kubica, Vettel et al. are, if they're saddled with mediocre equipment, they won't stand much chance of success, and seats at the decent teams could be taken by drivers who are already sufficiently talented.
