Perfect Wingman!

HK is Utterly USELESS. Did not do much to help the team or Lewis and I am not a LH fan.

F1 » Lewis had 'right package, perfect wingman'

Lewis Hamilton's 2008 F1 drivers' crown was the product of a number of factors, argues Niki Lauda, who claims Felipe Massa will be back to fight again in 2009 and that Sebastian Vettel is a future world champion in-waiting.

Jack, can you please enlighten me in what 'dishonest way' that Schumi beat his team mates? You are taking your dislike of him to a new level.

He was the number 1 driver. Fact. He'd earned the right to be, as the records show. Fact. He was imperious, took no prisoners, put Ferrari first and earned the adulation of the tifosi. Was it his fault, if LDM, Brawn, Todt and the Ferrari hierarchy formed the team around him, as probably one of the greatest drivers of all time...second maybe only to Senna? No.

Were you referring to the incidents with Hill and Villeneauve? If so, they were NOT his team mates! And yes, it takes a ruthless streak to be WDC many times over. Stop making such naive posts!

@ I love F1 - Thanks well spotted... I have seen people who have thrashed/trashed HK on this story are the same ones who have supported the that Ferrari/Schumi did not give RB chance to fight on equal terms.

Good Proof of double standards !!!

In the same way that Rubens and other Schumi team-mates were never 'held back' at Ferrari? So, by that definition, Schumi simply wiped the floor with all his team-mates!

I can already see the double standards and anti-Ferrari bias on this forum.

(Contd)..
Just in case if you going to pounce on it .. when I said - "Let me even not talk about the history of the team in question, which forgets good job done by a pilot and starts 2timing with others (DC-JPM, JPM-FA)"

Both DC and JPM were doing the best they could in meeting "Team objectives" based on Strategy provided by "Team". Not to mention JPM trying to support KR in 2005 by holding up field when in race lead and even reliquishing 30+ second lead in final pitstop at SPA 2005, to help team/team-mate , what was the result team was two timing with FA not to mention shutting down on 2006 championship without giving KR/JPM car to prove themselves. Thats outright "CHEATING"

Jack McGhee - From 1st race to last (barring Monza when LH failed to get in Q3) HK qualified heavier than LH, The Pit stops are proof to that, effectively he never started the race in Cleaner Air. McLaren, rather Whitmarsh gives periodic press release "How HK was faster than LH in Qualifiers (Fuel Corrected)" to keep HK happy.

These are the facts not excuses. China-Gate where Macca put wrong tyres compromising his race doesn't exactly tell "equal" treatment story :-? I would love to see "equal treatment" in proof. did this happen to LH?

@ Nick Fry useless - As long as his qualification strategy will be compromised (he was always heavier McLaren car in Q3),He will never win races. McLaren has hired him for supporting act to their "lead driver" and not as Supporting act to "their team". And this is what they will get.

A look in crystal ball shows he will be bumped out after squabble with team (when he finally wakes up and asks equal treatment and race strategy)sometime in middle of 2009.

I am confident, some of you will remember my prediction for 2009 season. HK will be Poor victim of compromising in 2008, team management will continue to compromise his strategy yet "demand results" another DC,RB story ....

Guys. I have to disagree. Heikki is absolutley useless. he is ok at the random fast lap. but sh1t look at how few podiums he got his arguably got 1 of the best 4 cars on the grid. He inherted a win. seriously still agree with Flavio he was rubbish. good for trying to reel in points. will never be a championship contendor.

There are drivers on the grid that might be good for a few race wins but never the championship. DC, Webber, BUTTON, FISI (retire now), Rubens, HK, Heidfield (sure he will win a race or 2 some day but never a WDC), Trulli (although i like his fighting spirit)

Rich Ard - The very feat of Lauda racing after terminal accident is something that initiated me into F1. So please don't have to tell me about Lauda and his amazing acheivement. I have seen your posts and the Fanatics ganging up against you on this forum as well.

I know fanatics of the driver in question and their age group and their understanding of what goes behind the doors in F1 and that most of their "ganging" up comes out of ignorance.

How else can you explain these people flip-flopping and tearing down DC,JYS, Webber and for that matter any one who speaks against Loo-is and two days down the line hail the same person, when the person speaks in favor of Loo-is.
