I haven't read the whole article, I am posting this because Lewis is saying

Quote:
 
This is the best car I have ever driven


That is exactly what Button said in 2009.

This title is Hamilton's without a doubt.

As for the article, I'm going by the basic premise that Hamilton is or is not an intelligent driver.

My feeling is that Hamilton is a highly intelligent person and has what I call emotional intelligence, which kind of equates to using his gut to make decisions rather than any studiously acquired knowledge. When pressured I don't think he always makes the right call, but when given the space he drives effortlessly.

It's interesting to see what Vettel is doing in response to his newly found status of not being at the front. He's whinging over unfair status re:engines for example and making dare I say, school boy errors pushing too much and proving that it is infact impossible to overdrive the car.

If the other teams don't play catch up soon, Lewis will earn a title that reflects his abilities for sure, but not in a manner that reflects his abilities.

I get the feeling that Andrew Benson doesn't like Lewis, he idolizes him!

Lewis has definitely matured over recent years and I think moving to Mercedes was the best move he made. With last year's car in McLaren, I'm not sure he would have come through as well as he has.

Go Lewis! i won't whinge if he gets a couple of WDC's on the trot <angel>

While I don't mind Lewis doing well, I don't like the size of the advantage that Mercedes have. It doesn't make for interesting racing. And you have to wonder where it is all coming from.

Great engine, solid chassis.

Lewis is a talent but I just can not take to man at all.

His face again yesterday when Rosberg got pole was like a baby losing his dummy.

If Mercedes are going to continue to have a large advantage I just hope Rosberg can give Lewis a good fight without Mercedes giving Lewis the advantage.

I think he was upset with himself for making a mistake rather than Niko going faster tbh.
