Mollox Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Very impressive. For a minute I thought he was going to do it (and win me £200 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamD Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 I would put money on him winning a race this year if he continues on with that level of maturity. I don't remember quite such an impressive debut before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RacingRed Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Yes! That's what we wanted to see. The tifosi among us at least. Kimi drove a flawless, and distinctly Schumacher-esque, race from the start. And he's still monotone in the press conference and was more interested in taking a big gulp of the champagne than splashing it about, far better than the groomed PR puppets of the McLaren boys either side of him. Fair play, Hamilton impressed with his performance. No doubt the British press is going collectively ballistic about his prospects, adding an albatross of expectation to his shoulders. It's interesting that we now have a British driver to represent each stage of their typical career path. Hamilton, fresh and exciting with great expectations. Button, seasoned and tested, making his way in the sport. And Coulthard, a journeyman, all but spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzbitt Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 That was a great race. Shame i bloody fell asleep and missed the start!!! Woke up 2 laps into the race! TYPICAL! Then, I fell asleep just as Alonso pulled into the pits before Hamilton at which point i fell asleep again! Woke up as the end credits were scrolling! Well it was a great performance for Hamilton and Alonso and as already stated in this thread, it's looking to be shaping up for a great close season! I also felt sorry for Massa as well, Button was holding a large train of cars up for a while if my sleepy memory serves me correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssFour Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I see Damon Hill is talking up a good battle between Kimi and Fernando on the beeb webiste. I can't see it myself, this year at least. The Ferrari is just too fast for the Maclaren. The ease in which the the Fezza romped away from the pack must have been demoralising. Personally I think it is between the two Fezzas.

fizzbitt Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I still believe that Massa is going to be up there... Although i would love to see Alonso take it from Ferrari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRobin Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Saw the race highlights late last night....Hamilton Stunning talent! Okay, I know Raikkonen is an extremely good driver and I love Ferraris but I'm still intensely disliking Kimi's attitude (I wish I could say otherwise and I'm waiting for him to change but doubt he will). Consequently, apart from wanting Hamilton to win, I want Massa to be a winner - He has the talent as proved last season. Button? - Is it just the car that's holding him back?
