I have voted for Lewis although no doubt like last season if he gets close Max will interfere.  I have spent the last five years telling people how good he would be and the last year telling people how good he is.  I think yesterday he proved he is the best in F1 by lapping every one of his championship rivals.

yeah SR - the FIA do seem to spring into action whenever a driver or team start beating FERRARI. I have to agree with you that on talent LH will take it out but KR will take it to him and, as you suggest, the help of a FERRARI biased FIA cannot be discounted.

what do you actually mean by "robbed" Mitch?

was he actually going to win those races then?

as a popular song by trevor Whittaker used to go Mitch: "IF's an illusion".............

and so are your "obvious" assertions.

No way he would have beaten LH the other day and to suggest otherwise beggars belief and insults Lewis as well.

Hey and LH would have won Canada IF KR had not carelessly stopped in front of him!  :crazy:

'carelessly stopped in front of him', there was a red light if he had carried on he would have been disqualified, its hamilton's fault for not seeing the red light. also he was catching hamilton in britian at a second per lap, and was cost a win by not fueling up more and changing tyres

If Kimi could have kept [catching]up at a second a lap
you would have had to extended the race another 68
laps for Kimi to have caught him ;)

Lewis's driving on Sunday was pure excellence, I have my doubts if even MS could have kept up with him, yes Neil, that came hard saying that, if Lewis can keep up that sort of performance he'llbreeze it.

I think Raikkonen will win because his second halves of the season are generally stronger than his first halves. If he's equal first already, then there'll be no stopping him once everyone comes back from the summer break.
