you dont need to be a smart arse, I know you dont get the spray of the car infront when youre P1 but you do when you lap cars and lapping cars is not easy especially in the wet! and how do you know he had little trouble with back markers? did you have special coverage that followed him the entire race? but you make it sound like every car behind him was right behind another car and could not see,which wasnt the case, sure there were groups of cars but some had a clear run for example heidfeld in P2, he had a clear road seeing as Lewis was so far ahead.
BMWpower he lapped the entire field some drivers twice, its not like he had clear vision the whole way through, he had the spray of back markers etc. also he had issues with his visor you could see him on the straights wiping the inside of his visor, i know the feeling the Arai GP5 even though its ventilated it fogs up easy and its not great for visibility at the best of times, its not like a bike helmet!
Yes his drive was impressive, he had a full 60 seconds on the field, found a cure for cancer, started world peace, and convinced Simon Cowell to move back to the UK all in rainy afternoon. But you can't tell me that its not easier (not sayin not impressive ) to lead in the rain then to follow?? He had minimum problems with the backmarkers since they moved over once the blue flags are waved, it was more exciting watching Kimi, Heikki, and Alonso fighting each other, driving behind each other's rooster tails and if you gonna make a pass, make sure you don't hydroplane doing it.
