Okay why compare Hamilton to Webber? Compare him instead to someone like Villeneuve, Coulthard,Montoya, or maybe even Kimi. They all began their careers in top teams.(except kimi who spent one season at Sauber), as Hamilton is doing.
I think Villeneuve would perhaps be the best comparison. If Hamilton has won the championship by the end of next year he will be a great success IMO.
( I'm sure there are other drivers who have jumped straight into a top seat... but my knowledge of pre-1996 F1 is rather limited/non existant.)
