Lewis Hamilton is looking awesome

Buttons car sucks

and Coulthard who was driving so well loses his drive shaft 20 laps before the end

DC's still got it!

shame about Button, if he and Lewis were both driving McLarens damn they would be scary...

bahrain gp goin well. the BIG 4 doin alrite. button out on the first lap.... hammilton 2nd i think now.

Yep Buttons new car apparently is a piece of ----e. Dont understand how a team can invest that much and make a ---- car....I dont think they are listening to their drivers tbh.

Lewis is a beast, I got a feeling he will be finishing in the top 3 of the championship for sure. Amazing driver, driving an amazing car. The new shumacca(I spelt that wrong!).

DC allways has bad luck, his car always lets him down. Give him the right car and he would be flying.

[AfroJoe]

Yeah, DC is much better than the team he's currently on.

It's going to be really funny watching Jenson Button be completely forgotten because of Lewis Hamilton.

Only funny because the media hyped him up as some kind of "next Damon Hill", only for him to win 1 race in 120-odd attempts.

Luis Hamilton is a Great driver he has already made history to be the first driver rookie to finish on 3 podiums in 3 races, won't be long until he wins a race, looks like the champion Fernando Alonso will be takeing the back seat now Hamilton is around.

[AfroJoe]

Heh, it's a bit early to say that.

I'd take Alsono and Raikkonen to top Hamilton this year, and maybe for a couple more years as well.

He looks like champion-material, but I think it's a bit far-fetched to say he'll be displacing the current world champion so easily, and in his first season.

[Bigcon100]

yeah, but i do hope he'll win a few reces this year, but will his team make him allow alonso to pass him???

[AfroJoe]

No-one will be forced to get out of the way to let their team-mate win a race ever again, I don't think.

Especially now that Schumacher is gone. :D

[Bigcon100]

i know they're not allowed to do it, but do you really think they dont do it? at least some of the teams, sometimes? :brow:

[Joe]

A1 Gp :)

What they might do would pull someone in the pits or something like that ? Or tell them to slow down abit. I dont think your allowed to stop let them pass then race again! :p

[Bigcon100]

lol. no, but if the second driver is in front of the team's lead driver, the lead driver can tell his team to tell the other guy to slow down. This happens especially when the lead driver is challenging for the championship. Happen with Schumacher's (+ baricello) when he needed every point he could against Alonso. Like hammilton had to move off the racing line in the 1st raqce to let alonso pass

[AfroJoe]

That's what I'm saying, though... the Schumacher incident was pretty controversial, so I doubt it'll happen again. At least as obviously.

As you said, the team could do it more discreetly by forcing their guy to pit or something like that, but it'll never happen the way it did beforehand.

[Bigcon100]

hmmm. i dont know. the title is wayyy more competative this season
