Hi Monty,
Just trying to be objective about all the Hamilton mania in this forum too. There have been a number of guys who have blazed their way in the lesser formula, but have not really done well in Formula 1. Case in point, Frentzen. He beat Schumacher regularly but couldn't do much in Formula 1 despite of driving for Williams at the height of their prowess.
I would presume Hamilton has been testing for Mclaren a lot before his official unveiling.
I am sure Hamilton is good , very good no doubt, but in my case the Jury is still out because, he hasn't really been through a tough situation yet.
Lets wait and see.
I have always considered Britain to be the home of motor racing.
