[...] The fact that Hamilton became the first person to finish on the podium on his first three (now seven) races is extremely impressive. But in another sense, it would be amazing — given his circumstances — if he did not finish on the podium. Whenever Alonso has failed to make it this year, it has been down to bad luck. [...]

Great point! But which ever way you look at it, Hamilton has definitely been impressive. The question whether he is the next Senna or Schumacher’s heir is premature.

You make an excellent point about the media when you compare their stories about a subject you know a lot about, to a subject you are unfamiliar with.

In life in general, we simply have to accept what we are told on TV and in newspapers is right, correct and the whole story. But as you say the hype around Lewis and McLaren is utter nonsense so what other rubbish are they feeding us?

If you feel you can’t trust the news organisations, then it makes you feel you can’t trust anyone!

If the public are silly enough to read the MSM regarding Lewis, I guess we will have to be smart enough to ignore the rubbish the MSM write.

God help us if FA & LH having a coming together in a race or a first corner. Further, can you imagine the garbage that will be written when Lewis makes his first “inevitable” rookie error.
