When are people going to stop critisising Lewis and accept the truth; he’s the real deal!
His drive at Silverstone was superb.Others made mistakes but tough, you make your own luck.
I don’t see any Ferrari lovers saying that Kimi won the championship because Mclaren messed Lewis’ chances in China.
Yes he’s prone to making the odd mistake,but we seem to be forgetting that he’s only 22 and in just his 2nd F1 season.
However, when he’s in the groove,no one can touch him, aside from maybe Kimi or Alonso(with a decent car).
When he matures a bit more and learns to drive for points when he can’t win ,instead of overdriving needlessly,he will dominate the sport for years to come.

For once,Britain has a geniune world class talent,lets get behind him and celebrate the fact.

Ferrari’s mistake was their fault. Lewis drove a fantastic race, I knew Hamilton was going to win and he deserved to win. He is capable of winning world chapionship he just needs to focus and stop making avoidable mistakes.
Keep it up Lewis! xxx

Hamilton just kept the car in the track, his team won not him…many other drivers kept it in the track too, but dind’t get the chance to win because of wrong decisions or poor mechanics. Hamilton is not the best he is just good.

I have to agree with CCns, after reviewing the race, I maintain what I´ve said before: Ferrari ruined the races for both Kimi and Massa. Massa lost the race on the friday crash, and never had a fighting chance during tha race under rain with the car set all wrong. And Ferrari also took away any possibility Kimi would have had.

But it really doesn´t matter, because while everyone, and I mean EVERYONE was having a major problem to stay on track, Lewis (and Barrichelo, I might add), was driving as if he belonged in a wet track, and no one could have taken win this from him.

He drove a good race. Interestingly, if Hamilton hadn’t had to change his tyres (he had to because the mclaren is harsh on its tyres) would mclaren have left the same set of intermediates on ? Alonso, Webber, Raikkonen – all kept the same tyres. To me this indicates that they expected rain, but no more than a few minutes of very light drizzle, and left on the tyres so they were in a better position for a drying track. They all have similar weather prediction systems, but then, you can’t always predict weather 100% accurately. In Monaco they thought it’d rain for about 7 minutes at the start and then be dry for the rest of the race etc. All in all, and it pains me to admit this, Hamilton drove well, and got the little bit of luck that anyone needs in a wet F1 race.

Still though, that race could’ve been epic if a ceratin Michael Schumacher was still racing. The ‘rainmaster’ versus the ‘young pretender’ to his crown. The master would’ve come out on top, or it’d have been very very close.

Also, have to feel sorry for barrichello. Would’ve easily had second had it not been for a dodgy fuel rig. Poor chap, but definately drive of the day for the veteran.

Even as a diehard Ferrari fan you have to give credit where it’s due. Lewis drove a flawless race compared to the rest of the field. Yes, Kimi would have been closer with full wets or even new intermediates on the first pitstop, but the way Hamilton was driving I don’t think anyone was going to catch him. Great job Lewis.

Or face the fact: Lewis had good luck there too, ‘cuse ferrari lacks man with tactical eye (and only real battle is between Ferrari and Mclaren) and other teams are just too slow to keep up… maybe BWM can fight back sometimes but not on every race

But even Ham’ did drove at grass once in race. and in qualify which was driven on DRY track.

One more thing: Have you paid attention to spanish media? after every freeking race: “True winner of the weekend is Alonso…” race has only 1 winner, how can it be Alonso at 5th or under? =D
