		<description>Also remember the grip factor, it is actually cool here in Barcelona, around 10-15 degrees. Far from the ambiental and track temperature which F1Wolf will find in Melbourne, good luck that you&#039;ll refuel yourself with some cool beer ;)

		<description>@ F1 Wolf
&lt;blockquote&gt;But we also have to consider the fact that during the tests the drivers often test the limits of the car &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well you questioned your own answer there ;)

Taking the car to its limits...Crashing it....almost 2 seconds off the pace???</description>

		<description>Would be very surprising already if they do not manage to achieve a single win. Who bet&#039;s they cannot?

		<description>Today I had some acupuncture therapy, and still losing some air :P HAHA I have to be quiet after, and it&#039;s not allowed to do big walks. So, next testing sessions for me will be in october maybe, but I already saw what I wanted to see :) The car&#039;s handling and the adaptation from the drivers to the new technical specs.

But today I feel just sorry to not be there, I&#039;ve formated my mobile phone and all videos were recorded in it!!! :(

		<description>My god, that’s not a reason to mean he’s not that good. I wouldn&#039;t say that Lewis is the best driver so far, rankings and several &quot;driver of the year&quot; gave this prize to several other drivers, but he&#039;s also not far from the top places, and so I&#039;m coming with my own opinion out: he&#039;s pretty talented but not the best in any specific skill, and also not the most complete, but he&#039;s motivated, works well and concentrated.

Maybe we can say he got it easy, but that&#039;s also happening lately to all other sons of previous famous drivers, what we usually consider the &quot;rich kids&quot;. I consider he joined a good team in a very good moment, he was supplied with a good car, which finally was reliable, had incredible aerodynamic characteristics and had handling characteristics which suited his abilities since the beginning, he had the best team mate from which to learn something good and the tyre brand change to Bridgestone helped more McLaren than other&#039;s (surprisingly, this could be relative to the Stepney Gate, but never have been proven that McLaren adapted well thanks to that documents).
That combination helped Hamilton for sure to find himself in a great pace, but he didn&#039;t arrive to the seat for free (but not paying anything for it), he had to work it out with he&#039;s determination to be someone big in this world.

Now, I think we could see a change in the car&#039;s evolution. The MP4/24, does not look bright in testing, with any of their official and test drivers, Lewis already shared with the media that he really don&#039;t feel confident with he&#039;s new machinery. 
We could see him in a difficult situation? Probably yes, we have to wait how this develops in the season beginning, because pre-season is really another thing and has not much to do with competition (although there are teams which love to be in top the of the timesheets and so on). If Hamilton doesn&#039;t perform in that brilliant way he used to or has trouble to make the car go further its possible boundaries, and gets some pressure above his shoulders, I don&#039;t think this will affect anyway what he did before. The same situation happened to Kimi Raikkonen, and nobody rushes in the talks to consider him a bad driver with no enthu.
But seeing Lewis Hamilton with a less competitive car would be something new, until the date he used to have good material in his hands, so let&#039;s see how he does with the MP4/24 which possibly has more problems to adapt well to the new regulations.

Anyway and anyhow, I wouldn’t say he’s a driver lacking skills.
