Next race: European Grand Prix July 22 at Nurburgring

As much as I think driving a car from a young age in competition will naturally produce such a result in a 22 year old, you cant take away from the fact that Lewis is pretty bloody amazing!!

22 years old and beating many other drivers who have equal amounts , nay more, experience than himself.

A computer brain by all accounts, calculating and fully focussed. Is this the same as with 'young' Vale? Theyve both exploded on their respective scenes and shook up the seasoned pros..

Someone said they were properly disappointed that they'd travelled miles to see Lewis win yet he 'only' came third!?!?! EH!!??

I expect its cos he's black and its racist if you beat him.

F1 is boring in the extreme and tv makes it even more so.

Well seeing as only 4 cars are capeable of winning, and 1 of them usually breaks down/starts from the back/has a square wheel he's got a 1 in 3 chance of success anyway. hoo fking ray

Forced myself to watch it and now want 2 hours of my life back. Think i saw 1 overtake and that ended in contact and retirement. Stick spikes on the wheels and assasinate the last place guy every lap and i may watch another one but until then i shall be inserting shitty sticks into my eyes.

Yeah - No bikes on telly so I watched this one - first F1 I've watched all season.

What a boring drag!!

And what's all this hype over Louise Hamilton IV ? Saw nothing special there - as Pierre said he's got one of a handful of cars that stand a chance (and that's a handful of someone with a few fingers amputated) - BTW how's your hand doing Pierre?

Bernie reckons Hamilton's saved British sport this summer .... WTF !

Where is the mention of our British motorsport lads that are really doing the business .... James Toseland ..... Bradley Smith ........ deadly hush .......
