I just bought that today!! I couldn't believe Hamilton was able to hold 5th position missing a gear. Good driving on his part! I predict Webber taking the championship!!

All Webber has to do is keep his nose clean and the championship is his.

Pretty cool I must say.

I remember his first race with Minardi and all his struggles before joining Red Bull. He showed promise but never had the right car or team behind him. I think there were a few times where it looked like he might not even last in F1.

It's also very nice to see him leading his punk teammate this year. I hope he can keep it clean and bring the title home... good for him!

G37Sam · 10-11-2010, 08:46 AM

He definitely deserves it!

Let's hope the asphalt doesn't come up!

When did Shumacher came back?? Ive lost track of F1!! What team does he drive for now?

WShade · 10-16-2010, 11:46 PM

This year for Mercedes GP.

G37Sam · 10-17-2010, 07:02 AM

And I believe next year also, thing are going to be "different" according to him

I think the expectations out of Schu this year was extremely high. So many fans and critics thought he'd be racking up the wins right away...the man has been gone from the sport for a few years, and yet with a "so-so" car, he's been able to post some top 10 finishes and race pretty competitively. With the limited amount of practice time and with cars totally different from the ones he used to drive, I think he's done quite well.Hopefully next season they can put him in a better car and maybe we can see him a little more competitive.

I was just thinking the same thing watching him at Suzuka. I also think that his car has been limited this year due to the advanced aero that some of the other teams are running.

Regardless, it's been one of my favorite seasons so far being able to see him competing with the younger guys.

We all know how good he is at developing a car, so assuming he's still around next season I'm interested to see how Mercedes GP ranks...
