Any overtaking at Monaco is tantamount You've completely lost the plot on the rest of it though. Firstly, if Hamilton wasn't any good, do you seriously think he'd be driving a McClaren in the first place? Secondly, he's finished on the podium for the first five races of his F1 career, which is unheard of although nobody can deny that very few rookies have the opportunity of driving such a magnificent car, but that simply brings me back to the first point. Finally, as of now he has won a race and leads the world championship by 8 points. Granted that that hadn't happened when you wrote this, but you really should have seen the writing on the wall. He's a star in his own right, media hype or not, and good luck to him. I think you’re spot on about the team orders. Any overtaking at Monaco is tantamount

I'll admit some of them aren't exactly great interviews (Kimi mumbling his way through another press conference comes to mind), but come on! There was an hour to fill before the race and most of it was complete nonsense, bah!!
