Hamilton's certainly had the best of everything for his entire career, but he's always delivered.
He's fast, brave and exciting to watch. Personally I think he's worth every penny he's paid. Vettel is certainly his match in my opinion, but is also fiercely intelligent. Hamilton take's his dog to work... |

I absolutely agree with Flavio above!

Besides Vettel currently has 107 points and Webber has 57! From a RBR perspective Vettel giving up points to Webber is just plain silly! |

Here we go again
![]() Vettel is leading the championship because he's been lucky says Mr. Alonso. Fernando Alonso says Sebastian Vettel due bad luck soon http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/107892 |

In many respects drivers make their own luck on track, but that doesn't mean they don't rely heavily on a good team. Red Bull have been superb over the past 4 seasons and have provided their drivers with very capable cars. They have one of the best design teams on the grid right now, lead by Adrian Newey, and have their pit stops down to a tee. This is what a driver expects when they go for championships, and I suppose with this in mind you could say Vettel has been very lucky. That doesn't mean he is not one of the best drivers on the grid though. These things go round in cycles and with the regulations changing from season to season we will undoubtedly see other drivers find themselves in a sweet spot like Vettel has been in. Its the unknown that makes it all exciting for me.
It would be nice to see Vettel hit a spot of bad luck no and then, but Red Bull are just too damn reliable right now. ![]() |

Hamilton has been beaten twice in seven races and is being told to focus by, of all people, John Watson. ![]() Clearly, Hamilton is not driving quite at his best at the moment, but he is having a very good season nonetheless and generally making the most of things. As usual really. People do seem to be disturbingly fixated on his purchase of a dog. I think, perhaps, these are the people that should try and focus on their own lives rather than making a mountain out of a molehill. FWIW, I think taking a dog to the track is extremely odd but it is utterly harmless and, if it is something that keeps Lewis happy in some way, then what's the problem? I don't think it runs round the garage (as Watson seems to think) whilst he tries to visualise his qualifying lap. |

LH is driving very well I reckon. Solid, reliable, fast. He's focused. |

Oh he is driving very well and is focussed, but I would say he is at about 95%. Not quite there, but still absolutely formidable.
We have already seen what an unfocussed Hamilton delivers in 2011: not a lot. How people can compare his opening races to that shambles is beyond me. |

After Sunday's race I think Hamilton's observation carries a little more weight!

Of course Bianchi is by far the best driver in the field, he just hasn't proved it yet.
Well this is no more pointless than ...........................? |

Oh, hold on, what do you mean we can't do that? As long as they are different cars then you cannot say for certain whether one driver is better or worse than another. Certainly at the level of an F1 driver. |
