Hamilton's Second F1 Win Comes At Indy

Lewis Hamilton's second straight win came at the fabled Brickyard in front of a very large and enthusiastic American audience. He capped another perfect weekend with a pole and held off his teammate Fernando Alonso for another McClaren one two finish. As in many of the F1 races it was decided again at turn one at the start of the race. Once Hamilton got through cleanly than it was clean sailing from there. He did hold off one failed attempt by Alonso about mid way through the event but he was every bit the measure for the two time world champion.

showing by BMW but not allot of points as in the Renault and Mark Ferrari closed the gap somewhat to the McClaren's with Massa and Raikkonen finishing third and fourth respectively. With six wins out of the seven races held at Indy Ferrari looked to regain the top podium position but were no match for the Silver Arrows. Another stong run by BMW but Heidfeld had mechanical trouble and fill in driver Sebastian Vettel salvaged the last point. Again Toyota could only rely on Jarno Trully as Ralf Schumacher made another mistake at the start of the race, what a surprise! Heikki Kovalainen and Mark Webber in the Renault powered Red Bull finished in the points with strong races.

performance by But let's give a big pat on the back to Lewis Hamilton for his second win and another dominantMcClaren. I know he is in the best car on the grid but this kid has gotten more out of it than most drivers he competes against. Having the best car is one thing, getting the most out of it is another, and Lewis Hamilton has shown he can do just that. So we will see what happens when they get back to Europe in two weeks. Will another team step up to challenge McClaren? Will BMW finally win a race.? Will Toyota finally wise up and dump Ralf? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
