Hamilton 'may be negative for F1'

Hamilton has been a phenomenon in his first season in F1
Motorsport boss Max Mosley has said Lewis Hamilton could have a negative effect on Formula One if he is as successful next year as he was in 2007.
"If he does the same thing next season as he's done this season, it will certainly have a big effect," he said.
"It will start to be negative because we'll get the Schumacher effect where people start writing to me saying can't you do something to slow him down."
Mosley added that Hamilton's role in revitalising F1 had been exaggerated.

Hmm.. Dont know if I agree with that. Lewis has injected new life into a somewhat lacklustre sport. If he's raised the bar a tad, then.... well, just goes to show how lacklustre the performance/s of his fellow F1 racers have been of late. Teams have not pushed their drivers and the drivers, although racing, have settled into a nice bubble, allowing the Pitcrews to determine the racing on track.
Time to smell the coffee maybe?
