My previous post on Formula 1, painted a certain dilemma in my mind regarding my allegiance in this season, after the ground breaking deals and a certain retirement, at the start. With four races behind the start line, its time to throw in my hat too.
The most delightful development of the season has been the consistency of the McLarens: something that looked a distant relative to the McLarens in the past few seasons. The toast in this positive move up, for me, has been the performance of Lewis Hamilton. Still a rookie in the circuit but, he has stood tall in each of the five podiums so far. No doubt the English tabloids are beating their chests aloud and a certain Jenson Button has been elbowed, rather politely nudged, into the darkness of oblivion.
I must admit that the skills displayed by young Hamilton are truly worth the applause. It might not be strange to learn, in the near future, that the McLaren stable is pitching Hamilton as their No 1 driver. The only thing the Brit has yet to do, is to stand at the very top of the podium. And I really hope he does that soon. So at the end of the season, the best possible outcome would be to see Hamilton kiss gold. I would also want to see Kimi ascend higher from his languishing state now, even though that would mean a splash of the (repulsive) red.
