Well can we assume that McLaren is the real deal this year and that they finally have the measure of the Ferrari's? Is Lewis Hamilton the fastest man in F1 after only five races? These are two questions that will be answered in the next two months as the F1 season gets into high gear and the racing will be done on circuits where you actually have a chance to pass another car. Monaco is as Indianapolis is, more a spectacle than a race, more an event than a competition. Racing these powerful 1200 lb cars around a street circuit seems insane to me, but it is one event that will always be on the schedule.
You have to be impressed with what Lewis Hamilton has done so far this season. At times, it was evident that he was faster than the two time champion Alonso, but there was no way he was going to pass him for the win. The scary thing about it is that the kid knows he is as fast as his teammate and has a great chance to win at the highest level of road racing. When he gets his first pole he will guarantee himself his first win, assuming his car stays under him. But what we also have this year is a championship that can be contended by at least three drivers and the possibility of more than two teams in contention for a race win. Time will tell if McLaren can sustain the good fortune they have experienced so far this year. Lewis Hamilton has brought new attention to the sport much in the same way Michael Schumacher did in 1991 when he splashed on the F1 scene. So lets hope for a real fight down to the last race of the year with a few drivers in the hunt and several teams in contention for race wins.

There was speculation that Team McLaren told Hamilton to slow down and back off of Alonso and let Alonso win and they are investigating this issue...i love McLaren so i hope they continue to win and measure up against Ferrari
