English F1

Lewis Hamilton is one of the best F1 drivers in the world and in Britain

He just lost the title on the last day of the f1 cup but he has won loads of cups

Lewis Hamilton's day will certainly come, and I think it will be sooner rather than later.

Lewis Hamilton is 3/1 at a couple of bookmakers (sportingbet & william hill). Is this worth a punt?

edit - I just put £20 on it, no big time charlie here

Lewis is definitely a good bet but I can't help wondering if he's got his work cut out this years due to last year's shennanigans and McLaren setting a moritorium on certain points of development. The Ferraris certainly seem to be excellent as expected in testing although with no real comparison due to using a different track from all but Toyota. Also, McLaren didn't top the timesheets on all the tests they did which COULD be worrying.
Best of luck to Lewis though, I certainly hope he does come away with the Championship this year as he desevres it. I also hope Alonso is left chasing the pack although that, too, is fairly unlikely. He is good despite being a big kid.

So, late night/early start next weekend then

Very early alarm call

. I must admit, I don't mind at all getting up in the middle of the night to watch the Aussie races. It kind of adds to the excitement of the build up for me. I wish Bernie would stop thinking about his massive fortune and let Australia keep the race as it is. Supposedly he wants to save people from getting up in the middle of the night to watch a race. I'm sure, despite the slight inconvenience of getting up a couple of hours early, we'd rather see a race from Down Under, as is traditional now, than not have one at all.
