I think that Lewis Hamilton should not be dropped by McLaren because he is a very talented driver.

I wish the media would stop with the overhype of Hamilton as well. Yes he is good, but calling him a champion after 1 of 18 races is rediculous.

I don’t think McLarens are that far off Ferrari personally. Their results in Bahrain and Sepang is deceptive as Hamilton was hurt by his start mistake, a accident and a poor pitstop.

I never hear talks about Heidfeld winning the championship, but he has scored 35 points in the last 9 races and that includes 6 races in a car that definately was not as good as the McLaren or Ferrari last year.

Heidfeld is 2nd in the drivers championship and with the BMW’s leading the champtionship in points and looking fast Heidfeld and Kubica deserves more attention.

It would be a good ballance anyway to all the attention the media always seem to give to all British talents. I can’t count the times I have heard the England should win the World Cup in Soccer feks

Neither of the McLaren’s are performing near Ferrari. The only reason Ferrari isn’t way ahead in the constructors championship is that Massa put his car off the first two races.

At this point, McLaren is fighting for 2nd with Sauber. With three weeks off, it will be interesting to see if they can regroup and challenge Ferrari.

I think Mclaren are struggling a little bit so far getting the balance of the car right. I still don’t rate Hamilton as a great driver. He needs a few more seasons under his belt and then we’ll see his consistency over a season, position wise. On a sepate issue, did anyone notice that the BMW’s seemed to match pace with both Ferarri’s? someone gained a bit of speed from what everyone thought were mid table only teams.

yes, the car may have something to do with it, but if wants to be a champ and get that USD4 mil McLaren F1 LM car Ron promised him, he needs to start beating his team mate

Biased post or not, I've seen the same points comparisan on a couple other sites. However, it's way too early to speculate on Hamilton's replacement, the kids obviously got talent. Keith is probably closest to being on the money, Hamilton's "monoque" ain't what she used to be. Time tor Ron Dennis to step it up. marc's last blog post..FIA: Filed Under “Too Little, Too Late”
