Title: Magny-Cours Grand Prix
Post by: Luci on Sunday, June 22, 2008, 11:48:53
Hmmmm Hamilton starting in 13th, be interesting to see how he gets on.

I for one am quite intrigued as to how he'll get on.  Certainly makes things more interesting, especially if it does end up raining.

Can't see Raikkonen surrendering 1st place but you never know!

1 Raikkonen (Ferrari)

2 Massa (Ferrari)

3 Alonso (Renault)

4 Trulli (Toyota)

5 Kubica (BMW Sauber)

If Hamilton's gonna get anywhere near the podium I think he'll need some rain or safety car to help him out. I fully expect him to be in the top ten after the first lap though.

always a possibility when you're stuck in the middle of the grid.

He's got Heidfeld right in front of him, unless he gets past him early on it could be a long race for LH.

BMWs haven't been on form this weekend, Lewis should be able to squeeze past.

Is it me or is Hamilton just a tad over rated?  Not that I'm really into F1 at all, but ti me he seems to make silly mistakes, last grand prix, the monaco incident where he got away with hitting the wall.

he seems a little over-eager at times, but there is no doubt he is very good, he will learn with experience to stop making the silly mistakes.

In what sense?

He's the best British driver, capable of winning. Seems to me that the British media is bound to pin their hopes on him and rave about him. Especially after watching Jenson Button for so long.

I dunno, just seems like he's being built up into this amazing driver when yeah he had a good season, but he seems to make too many errors at the moment.  I agree with Axs experience will sort him out but I don't think he's the mutts nuts than the media make out.

And this has nowt to do with him being english as I want him to succeed.  In many ways I'd compare his talent to Murray, again the lad's young and seems to suffer terrible results at times which makes me wonder how good he really is.

That's all.

His lack of experience and increased pressure has taken its toll. He was flawless until the critical last few races last season. He has been inconsistent thereafter.

He will come good again. I am sure of that.

Everyone has good and bad races...

Alonso's second world championship was in a car that was pants and Schumacher wasn't at his best for most of that season. No-one was saying at that point that Schumacher was overrated - he was just having an off-time, similar to what Lewis is having now. It'll get better...
