Kimi took awhile to find a set-up in the car last year. I wont be surprised if he's faster this year. I may be biased though.sigpicComment

Yeah dumb, I wonder how well you or I would do on a british team when our rookie british team mate is not only copying our car setup... but disobeying team orders and stealing final runs during qualifying and not being punished.
Ok for your idea the hamilton will be kicking ass and flying high this year, think again. Mercedes has to jump through too many loops for the FIA to be successful immediately. Not to mention neither Hamilton and Kov have racing experience in an F1 car without traction and launch control.
I cant stand people who are dense enough to think Hamilton is the fucking second coming or something.
Is he a good driver, yes.
Is he cool and relaxed, No he chocks.
Does he know anything about car setup, Not last year at least.
Does he owe all his successes to daddy, Definitely
I think BMW will be quick during races because of Heidfeld's leadership and experience without launch and traction.

There is no reason to call names or use the language you used. Anyway lets look at your points.
Is it good to be English in an English team, I guess. Schumacher was never in a German team, Kimi has never been in a Finish team. Guys in the Ferrari pit would lay their life down for Schumacher.
Schumacher used Rubens’ set up. McLaren stopped letting Lewis use Alonso’s set up half way through the year when they were trying to appease Alonso and Lewis still almost walked away with the title.
I believe after Alonso threaten to turn McLaren in to the FIA he should have been sacked, but Ron stood by his word and gave him the same car until the last race. Flav would have buried a driver for that. Ferrari would have put a hit out on him.
Ron paid the way for Lewis from a young age, you’re correct, but you have to deliver when you get the equipment and he has.

BMW better due to Heidfelds leadership and experence without launch/traction control.
WTF are you talking about?
Well, first off... all drivers have had experence without launch control, since it was banned 2 years ago. Secondly, Heidfeld raced maybe 3 times without traction control, and to further negate that, all cars are testing without traction control right now so that point will be void come March 16th.
Mclarens technical team is above and beyond BMWs. BMW may have 3rd place locked up but Ferrari and Mclaren will be much faster than BMW and the rest.

First off, launch control hasn't completely disappeared until this year. Teams and drivers used the traction settings to help starting launches.
Secondly, Heidfeld has been a team driver in F1 since 2000. Traction wasn't initiated till 2002. And not counting the years he was testing for Sauber before racing, He has had a little more then 3 races without traction. More like 4 seasons, making him one of (and this is from memory) 6 drivers , now, that have that experience.
Yes, all drivers have experience without TC, but not in an F1 car. So yes it is an advantage.
True, but... Schumacher always got the support he needed from his team and team mates. Kimi/Massa/Ferrari's Relationship is the same. Just like when it was Alonso/Fisichella/Renult.
The same support Mercedes and Lewis did not give a very probable 3x champ, Alonso (seriously, how close did he come without a team mate?)
Sorry man, but Schumacher and Barrichello were diffrent. They both know how to set up a car, what they did was called sharing.Schumacher used Rubens’ set up. McLaren stopped letting Lewis use Alonso’s set up half way through the year when they were trying to appease Alonso and Lewis still almost walked away with the title.
What Hamilton did was copied all of Alonso's set ups and track knowledge (When Alonso was sharing).
And I have no idea what your talking about with "walking away with the tittle". Once Alonso kept his set up secret, Hamilton fucked his car up (go figure) and finished 9th after a bad rainy day at the European GP; and 39 seconds behind Alonso in the British GP. Ron got him help setting up his cars after those GPs.
Agreed, I don't stand by his drama queen actions in anyway. But I understand his frustrations with no support and all. But he only threatened that because he wanted his contract terminated. He knew they were a twisted team at that point.I believe after Alonso threaten to turn McLaren in to the FIA he should have been sacked, but Ron stood by his word and gave him the same car until the last race. Flav would have buried a driver for that. Ferrari would have put a hit out on him.
Ron paid the way for Lewis from a young age, you’re correct, but you have to deliver when you get the equipment and he has.
does not mean he is a boy wonder, that is why I called you dumb, I should have said that idea is dumb. Like mentioned above, He only delivered because he and Ron used Alonso.
