So is this kid Lewis Hamilton the real deal? Another strong showing in qualifying and a strong second place finish in the race and we now have a new face in the F1 crowd. As usual the Ferrari's and McLaren's were the class of the field with another strong performance by BMW, who I have to believe will get to the top spot on the podium by years end. But Lewis Hamilton was again most impressive at the start where he again snookered Kimi R and took the third position at turn one. After Alonso's off and Kimi's retirement, Hamilton had a lock on second place.
Oh yeah, did I forget to mention that Massa was the man to beat in the other prancing Horse Mobile? He now is starting to show the promise and the maturity that is needed to be a consistent point scorer and eventual champion in the world of F1. he Ferrari is still the car to beat and the McLaren's are close but I think as the season goes on they will start to have the reliability problems that plagued Raikkonen in his years there, specifically 2005 when he should have run away with the championship.
So on to the next round in Monaco, a race that I consider to be much like the Indy 500, a specticle and not a real race. If you can qualify at the front and stay out of trouble than you will score well but you never know about Monaco. I think it will be a good venue for Kimi and his Ferrari and he has to score a win in the next round to stay in touch with the other three front runners. Let's wait and see.
