Lewis Hamilton - The Prodigy.

He may have made his debut in F1 in the best car possible, but he HAD to perform. That's what he did this year, Performed. Lewis Hamilton has come a long way after he was chosen as a "Second" driver to 2-time world champion Fernando Alonso. But he wasn't intimidated, he took the attack to the Ferrari's as well as his teammate.

Previous in-and-out drivers like Pedro De La Rosa didn't perform when he was given multiple chances in the year 2006, while Hamilton did quite the opposite, getting consecutive podiums in god knows how many races!

Hamilton showed that he's a class act, and that he deserves a McLaren Seat. Now, he no longer looks like the Second driver, he's on par with Alonso, maybe better! People will say that the team is favouring Hamilton to win the championship, even Hamilton said it himself, but the fact of the matter is that Alonso's attitude let him down in the team. The team members including Ron Dennis expected a good attitude from Alonso, but instead he backfired. He accused the team of not favouring him, even as the team tried their best to make the Double world champion comfortable in the McLaren camp.


Alonso crashed out of the last race (HAHAHA) unfortunately, because of Sebastian Vettel. Boo Hoo.

I was rooting really hard for Kimi to win the title this year. When I saw Hamilton drive, he looked damn aggressive and great at the wheel.


Anyways, I'm waiting for the unimaginable to happen next year. Narain getting into Ferrari and Karun Chandok getting into Renault, with Armaan Ebrahim in the BMW. Thinking large.

If not in the next year, at least in the next 5 years. ;)
