Richard Hammond is the worlds only Driving God.
He's proven that he is better than Alonso in the same car, and I doubt Heikki is as good as Alonso...and yes, he is the driving god of F1. That's a fact.
Hamilton is NOT a Driving God; he was just lucky to drop in the best car, prepared by the best driver in the field who had to race afterwards with rubbish set-ups given by the team, with the whole team re-built around him and leaving the other driver completely in the cold. Hear me? Hamilton was LUCKY. And what was gifted by the team to him, he blew away in 2 races.
Costs of all of this were enormous.
But watching him blow it in the last two races... Priceless.
I simply cannot understand the blindfold you Hamilton haters are wearing. If you are against somebody, look into his history, get your facts right before you rant.
Go Heikki!!
I hope he makes Lewis look bad now :lol:
Im curious as to why Mclaren didnt try to appease Santander. They are in desperate need of money, According the interview with Martin Whitmarsh. That 100M dollar fine, was way too large, they could probably barely afford Kov.'s salary. Next years cars gonna see the consequences.
I guess Alonso was lucky to win his 2 WDCs as well then, having the best car, having the undisputed no #1 status while giving Fisi inferior equipment. etc etc.Hamilton is NOT a Driving God; he was just lucky to drop in the best car, prepared by the best driver in the field who had to race afterwards with rubbish set-ups given by the team, with the whole team re-built around him and leaving the other driver completely in the cold.

They might give "emotional" support to one of the two drivers, but unlike Renault, McLaren have always given equal equipment to both the drivers. Even when it comes to engines, Merc chooses the best two out of the batch and then McLaren pick sticks to randomly assign the engines to the drivers at each race. Renault on the other hand has handed Alonso revised Spec B's all the time while Fisi had to use the old car.Wanna bet? Or... wanna bet that McLaren will not give him an equal car to Hamilton?
Do you guys really think that Hamilton is the "Driving God" of Formula 1?

It's a shame that it's not Kubica who joined McLaren.

13 December 2007
The Williams Formula 1 team announced on Thursday that Nico Hulkenberg will be the team's official test driver for the forthcoming 2008 season.The young German tested for the team last week in Jerez and gave the team a positive impression.
On the confirmation of his appointment, Nico said, "The two days of Formula One testing with the AT&T Williams team last week in Jerez were the realisation of an ambition that has driven me ever since my first kart race back in 1997. When I actually got out on track in the FW29, it fulfilled every expectation and more. So to have represented myself sufficiently well to have been appointed as the team's official test driver is the most amazing news and for me, Christmas has come early."
In the past three seasons, the former German kart champion has contested the German Formula BMW Championship, German F3, A1 GP and the Formula Three Euroseries. From the 68 starts he has made in these various championships, he has claimed 25 race wins and 14 poles, winning the Formula BMW ADAC title and helping the German national team to its A1 GP title in 2006/7 as a series rookie. Nico has also performed strongly in a number of non-championship races including winning the Ultimate Masters of Formula 3 at Zolder. In 2008, he will again contest the Formula 3 Euroseries alongside his Formula One testing duties.
Sam Michael, the Williams Technical Director said, "Nico has been through the rigours of our driver assessment programme culminating in his two day test in Jerez last week. Clearly he has shown demonstrable talent in the junior formulae, but it was important for us to see if he could make the step to Formula One. On the evidence we have so far, Nico is a quick and capable driver."
Agreed. I'm looking forward to seeing him compete in F1.Good that Williams saw Hulkenberg's talent and signed him up as test driver, he was very impressive in A1 GP.
