The rookie finally wins

Blackmask · 06-11-2007, 03:53 AM

Leading the championship through consistency on the podium it was a great result to Lewis Hamilton finally get a win. Go McLaren.

And Robert Kubica walked away with a sprained ankle. The car didn't come out of the accident quite so well.

Yes, it's great to see an Englishman back on top. But to say "finally wins" is a bit harsh. How many F1 drivers have won a GP after just 6 starts?!
He's an awesome talent... and so young.

**Val** · 06-11-2007, 09:06 PM

I saw the F1 ... and mainly the accident.
The luck is that these cars have a very strong cockpit, otherwise ...

McLaren is the shibby. Thank God he walked away with minor injuries.

The main reason he is doing well is because he's on McLaren if he was on another team he wouldn't be so sucessful.

That's why they often get leg injuries in the nasty accidents. The body is protected, but their feet and legs become vulnerable when the nose smashes away.

So you think anyone could win in the right car? The best teams get the best drivers, that's how it works.

Well I give the car more credit than him but he's not a bad driver.

**Jocasta** · 06-13-2007, 02:53 AM

That's the nature of any motor sport. But with the differences between cars so slight, the driver is often the only "variable".

edawg99 · 06-13-2007, 03:01 AM

Yep you can't be a good driver without good equipment.

**Jocasta** · 06-13-2007, 04:10 AM

Yep and a good team behind you. GP racing is a team sport.

Alonso, 2 time champion, must have the second car then?

Quite. That Hamilton won and is leading Alonso in the championship, in the second car proves his skill as a driver.

**Frasier** · 06-13-2007, 02:24 PM

Hamilton is next big star, no doubt about it.

**Val** · 06-13-2007, 03:33 PM

I admire Hamilton too.
About my Rubinho ... I think he must take another drive licence!

**Val** · 06-18-2007, 08:00 PM

Hey Blackmask ...
your rookie won again. Was a very good F1 done by Hamilton! This kid has future!

Blackmask · 06-18-2007, 09:14 PM

Alonso seems to be getting very pissed at the whole situation.

Team McLaren has nearly beaten their 2006 score already.

And he's English, Val , we've very proud of him.

Poor Alonso, he's making a tit of himself; he'd be better just letting his driving do the talking.

The kid has done 3,2,2,2,2,1,1 in his debut season. Only driver in 2007 to be on the podium every race and at M.C. he was on team orders. This kid has an amazing future and from the interviews I've seen is very likable.

Não, I'm not ... mummy!

I'm jealous!

Because the brazilian pilots have more experience and must do the drive lessons again, Rubinho and Felipe!
