WILL: ITV will spend 99.9% of the build-up to a race talking about Lewis Hamilton

WON'T: ITV Won't mention anything of the other drivers, as the other 0.1% is spent for adverts

James Bond Disqualified afte shooting one of Lewis Hamilton's tyres flat. Originally, Lewis had not seen who caused it and immediately complained to the FIA that Massa did it.

Thank Goodness. Istanbul instantly became one of my favourite tracks, and was so happy that the fine they recieved for last year's mess-up was in money, not removal of the race, and now we know it's staying. Good good =D

1) MASSA: "I've been waiting all week to do this..."

2) BOTH: "We're great friends!"
    MASSA: (mumbles) "I'm gonna push you off, I hate you so much!"
    HAMILTON: (mumbles) "You're gonna push me off? You're gonna actually need to hit me this time you try!"
    KIMI: (mumbling... not that it makes any difference)

"McLaren ran a four-mirror set-up at the Sepang test in April, so that their drivers could compare the Renault/Ferrari-style wide-apart positioning (better for aero) with a more conventional close-in set-up"

Lewis Hamilton has the potential to become Formula 1's greatest ever driver, according to McLaren CEO Martin Whitmarsh.

F1's rookie sensation has already carved himself a place in the sport's record books after just three grands prix, by becoming the first driver to begin his career with three successive podium finishes.

The 22-year-old Briton's stunning start in F1 comes on the back of a meteoric rise through the junior motorsport ranks and Whitmarsh reckons that if that rate of progress continues Hamilton could go on to surpass the sport's recognised all-time greats.

"Why not?" Whitmarsh told Wednesday's Guardian newspaper when asked if Hamilton could become the sport's greatest driver.

"It's obviously too early to analyse but if the trend continues there is no reason why he could not be the greatest driver ever."

Whitmarsh believes Hamilton displays all the attributes that set many of McLaren's star drivers of the past 20 years apart from the majority of their peers.

 

"Since I joined McLaren in 1989 I've worked with a lot of great drivers, including [Alain] Prost, [Ayrton] Senna, Mika Hakkinen, Kimi Raikkonen and now Fernando Alonso with Lewis," he said.

 

"I think I've developed a pretty clear picture of what gives the top guys that crucial edge over the simply good or average drivers.

 

"And I think it is pretty clear that Lewis ticks all the necessary boxes."

It would be nice, but no. He hopefully will keep up the amazing consistency, but i don't know whether he'd do it this year. As Sir Jackie said, if not this year, maybe within the next 2-3 years, but I for sure would like to see Hamilton take it.

Incredibly horrid revision for A-Level exams, as well as coursework deadlines approaching fast - it's all rush right now =(

Looks like it's back to F1 2006 whenever I get a chance to play it when I'm not working...

Yeah, they're missing something. David Richards. Why oh why did they get rid of him?
