Hey!the new rookie driver lewis hamilton seems to have it in him to emulate the greatness of the maestro michael schumacher.With already 2 top two finishes in three outings this season,hehas overshadowed his double world champion teammate alonso during the opening half of the season.He is not only the first black F1 driver but is also the first to have made it to the podium in his first 3 appearances.what is ur opinion about this promising rookie?

yes i think, hamilton is a graet material for Mclaren to win the race. The Mclaren rookie, who is making formola one history, has already become the only driver in formola one history to finish hhis firdt three races on the podium.

Well yeah, he definitely has the potential for it, he was very impressive at all the races, and here in Bahrain, I went for the race, *jumps in excitement* and let me tell you, Hamilton is one to watch out for, in fact I don't think he is in any way what we call "the second driver", he might even be better than Alonso, which he has shown in the past three races. In the race here, he was on Massa's tail the whole time, and by the end had really closed in on him. Of course I'm a Ferrari fan, on Raikonnen's side, but still this guy and his ability cannot go unnoticed by anyone. He's doing so great, and this is just his first year. He'll go a long way.

Hi, welcome to Mylot.
I agree with all your comments, Hamilton is going to be a great driver. He has already broking a record by being the first driver ever to claim three podium finished in his frist three race starts. Whether he manages to hit the heights of Schumacher remains to be seen but he will be a future champion, and what a start to the F1 season with three drivers all level on points after the opening three races.

I was really surprised that he actually made it to the podium on his first try. I'm happy that there's a new person out there to make this season interesting. I also find it refreshing that the front runners are all young. The fact that a rookie is showing a lot of potential makes for a really exciting F1 season.
Still, I'm rooting for Kimi this year, hopefully he'll have better luck with a Ferrari than with a McLaren
