F1 » Hamilton: New McLaren only a four-out-of-ten

Maybe they weren't sandbagging. If Hamilton wins the race, this will be on the same level as something Valentino Rossi would do in regards of making the competition think you are a none threat and then laying it on them out of no where.

Oh my god! The car has 4 (or a B). It has to make the exames again and study more. May be it has been distracted by a female Ferrari.

UH OH! Not good!

If Maclaren are not sandbagging and their car is off the pace, then we should all be quite happy in the knowledge that LH will have something to prove, that he can still win in a car that isn't the fastest in the pitlane (2008 Mclaren..arguably) and will use everything in his well stocked toolbag to drag that car to podiums or even wins.
Bring it on I say!

Yeap, we will see what lulu is made of. We will see if he's got the goods and all that hype was real.

Yawn(Jan).. Lewis took a very good car and placed it properly. There are those on the grid last year that could not do that.(Kimi) He will bring the car up to task and take the result the car offers. He can not make the car 1.2 seconds faster. Heck Alonso isn't even that good. I also wish your twin Kubica all the luck as well.

Four out of ten is O.K.that,s about the same as the F.I.A.

LW is the best driver in the world so he will make sure to bring some nice points home not just for himself but for all the fans & Ron Dennis.(FF- Forever Fan)

Looks like Lewis is setting out his stall well in advance. He had the best car last season but was lucky to win the title. Changed times now and no Daddy Ron to make matters worse.Just hope he does not take the head staggers and start driving into fellow competitors a practice he has cultivated and is good at.

Hope all this doom and gloom at Mac does not translate into some kamikaze overtaking lunges in the first lap, to try and make up places. Lewis will feel a different kind of pressure altogether this year, not only from the press, but from other drivers not leaving doors open - and from rival fans who will say 'we told you so'. He needs to drive calmly and wait for his openings...although that might be difficult is the Brawn runs and hides in the first 3 or 4 races...not to mention Ferrari, Toyota and BMW. This season will be the making of Lewis, even more than last. Methinks this WDC will not be decided till the final few races.

Bring it on!
