Can't see that happening, unless we clear the current grid and bring drivers that offers no challenge to him. As it is today, no chance.

7+ titles? That's going to be a little tricky with four ex-champions in the field, plus new talent like Perez, Petrov and Kobayashi.

I think Hamilton's comments are just part of the mind games. Vettel is obviously the biggest threat while he still has the dominant RBR. By saying that Alonso is his main rival, Hamilton is trying to get under the skin of Seb.

Yeah, it's probably just mind games. I don't think it will work though. It may not help Hamilton because Vettel will be more aggressive with him in battle and Vettel's a bit clumsy when racing other cars, so it's putting himself at greater risk.

In 2004, after the most dominant performance by the most succesful driver in history in F1, Heikki Kovalainan beat Michael Schumacher in the ROC. Many people decided that this means that Heikki would come to F1 and dominate. Instead, he was mostly beaten by Fisichella in Renault, then thrashed by Lewis at McLaren before being banished to Lotus.

By the end of this season he will be 24 and 2-times World Champion. If he races til 40 (and why wouldnt he) he would only need to win like every 3rd season from then on to become 8-times World Champion. Tricky for real but not completely unthinkable.

So you reckon Schumi threw the final? You dont know the last thing about Schumi then (Besides, they dont drive F1 cars at ROC, I was talking about beating a WRC Champion driving the very same WRC car he drives for a living is rather special coming from an F1 driver)

Definitely mind games...maybe it might have some oomph when Lewis drives something other than a McLaren

It's not a given that he'll win this year, there's 18 more races and lots can happen and will between now and the end of the season.

Lat year we were all suggesting Webber was the new Mansell.....

What gives??!!

That Hamilton's a card isn't he eh??

Next thing we know he'll be referring to Webber as the new Chris Amon and his teammate as the new Alain Prost.....

Well, if being a F1 world champion in your early twenties doesn't give you a bit of a opportunity for grandeur, I'm not sure what does. (and going out with a Pussycat Doll must improve things in the grandeur stakes)

As to LH vs SV - SV has impressed me more and more the last year or so. I'm an LH fan(well, JB fan more so, but they are both British which is what counts for me), and this he will have his work cut out keeping up with SV this year, unless Mclaren really sort the car out. That RB is very quick, and in the hands of Vettel probably unstoppable unless the other teams find some more speed.

Most people lose sleep over things like keeping up with bills, job security, relationships etc...
