This last Sunday, history was made in Brazil; BRAVO Mr. Hamilton!!!

At the start of last years Grand Prix season an un-known rookie took the Formula One world by storm. We were convinced after just his first F1 start in Australia last year, that he could win the title his first year out; he missed by just one point. What is perhaps even more impressive; is that he did so- driving on tracks with which he was unfamiliar and against a formidable two time world champion as his team mate…..some Fernando guy.

This season, the truly remarkable did happen. In just his second season as a Formula One pilot, Lewis Hamilton is world champion. Remarkable, simply bloody, remarkable! In all the years that we have been fans of F1 and that has been more than just a few; no-one has come onto the Formula One scene and performed anything near the likes of Mr. H.

We are of the opinion that this years Grand Prix season was actually more difficult for Ol’ Lewis than last season. Penalties were handed to him for “infractions” that seemed- well, suspicious at best. He also had tremendous competition from Mr. Massa, who we must admit, was as deserving of Formula One’s top spot as Lewis Hamilton; Massa simply drove his heart out and even in defeat proved a world champion- a man of character and heart.

One must also recognize the huge talent of the rising young German star, Sebastian Vettel. Given the right equipment next year (rumor has it that he will get it) this kid will give everyone a run for the money……Can Vettel become the new youngest F1 champion in history- a title that Mr. Hamilton now holds? We think so.

There have been many great Grand Prix drivers over the years, the list far too long to go into here, but, we all know who they were. Is Hamilton perhaps the best to ever grace us with this extraordinary talent? Thinking back over the years, not one driver comes to mind who in his first two seasons of Formula One has dominated the sport as overwhelmingly as Lewis Hamilton. This was an earned victory; earned by focus, determination, hard work, dedication, a bit of luck and most certainly the talent that only a handful poses-the talent to drive a race car that incredibly well.

Well done lad, very well done indeed!
