And again comparing the same cars different drivers, Hamilton is giving a two-time world champion (that beat Shumi twice) a hard time... and they both have identical cars.

Schuie once is more like it. In 2005 the tire rules screwed Bridgestone cars, seen as a deliberate attempt by the FIA to slow down Ferrari [ie schumacher]

Like I said, he very well could be the next Senna. Only time will tell.

I agree - Hamilton is a very promising talent and driving for one of the best teams in F1 certainly helps him positively. If his winning streak continues and takes the driver's title in his rookie season (read: seldomly happens), we will be witnessing what is likely to be a legend in the making. Like you said, time will tell.

Hamilton is not the next Senna or Schumi... NOT YET...

Hamilton is in what is proabably the fastest car on the grid... Yes he is fast but I bet Heidfeld or Kimi in that car would have podiums too... Mclaren I hate but damn they are fast this year!

I wouldnt talk much about Kimi, once a favorite of mine is quickly changing my mind. His performance is ridiculously lacking this year and it's a Ferrari. No excuses there. Massa is making him look bad, and Massa isnt all that great.

Exactly. Let me know in 15 years if hes the next schuie. As a matter of fact, i dont think anyone will be able to be at the top of the heap for their entire F1 carrier like schumacher.

Personally, i would of liked to see hamilton start out in a lesser car and see what he could do. The Mclarens are simply the best right now and will most likely be the best for a few years after this.

Having been at the race this past weekend, you could tell that Mclaren had a better car; different turn in, no real corrections through the corners, traction control hardly kicked in until way after the corner. That was the major difference between them and Ferrari. Massa and Kimi's traction control was kicking in a little before the apex of turn 11, the Mclarens didnt kick in until about 2 or 3 car lengths out of the corner.

man i have to say Hamilton is by far the coolest guy i have ever met. i was having a detailed conversation with the guy and he was perfectly fine with it. most drivers you talk to usually try to rush you when you talk to them cause their so busy but Hamilton really wanted to keep talking with us. it was really cool. hell of a nice guy...

i took a lot of pictures, you all will be able to see them in about a week or so....very nice detailed close ups of the cars on corners, i made sure to get the bmw's a lot.... :) cant wait for the race!!! is anyone else here?!

Pics?

Yes in person FTW. I think it is going to be interesting to see how the different drivers react/adapt to the lack of traction control next year. Especially someone like Hamilton who really only knows the cars of today...
