To me Hamilton was the revelation, but then I was a fan before. He has now categorically shown he can adapt his driving style, copying Button's silky smoothness but losing none of his speed. I still believe that if McLaren can provide him with a car that's capable of fighting the Red Bull that Hamilton will have the measure of Vettel. He's as quick and in my mind a far better racer.ringo wrote:The myth that hamilton can only drive one way is busted.
The idea that petrov is useless is rubbished as well. Petrov has massive talent, and i think Kubica would have trouble keeping petrov behind if his wasn't in hospital. I still maintain that beating Bob twice last year was a sign of things to come. A podium in your second year in the fourth fastest car ins't bad at all.
The way how things look. I think the title battle will go down to Hamilton and Vettel.
I was also mightily impressed with how he drove around the loss in downforce and other aero problems the broken bib would have been causing.
Whilst one race does not make a season, Petrov also impressed hugely today. He was on the pace all through the race, made a great start, kept his cool, didn't make any mistakes, and brought home a well deserved podium.
