i don't see what people are saying about­ lewis's driving.i don't think it is any more­ dangerous or aggressive as 7 time champ mike but he­ didn't get the stick that lewis is. could it be­ that a rookie with a black father makes all you white­ f1 fans upset.do you think f1 will be like the nba or­ premireship was tiger woods too much and this takes the­ cake.remember his mother is white and she has raised a­ exceptional humam being along with his dad.all you­ black fathers with a bit of money see if you can raise­ a champ i will.

giovannit1980: You're right, for example Michael­ Schumacher was @#$%. If he'd been in a Force India­ he wouldn't have won a thing because he was­ useless. He only took 5 titles because the Ferrari was­ the best car on the grid. And even though the Williams­ was better, the Benetton was still the second best car.­ If he'd been in a crappy car he'd have never­ won all those crowns because he's a rubbish­ driver.

Incidently, Lewis came second in the­ Championship as a ROOKIE and won it in 2008 in the­ second best car on the grid (with the exception of its­ wet weather short comings, the Ferrari was the better­ car). Just because he had a good car doesn't mean­ he doesn't deserve the crown. Alonso won both of­ his in the second best car on the grid, not the third­ best, a middle pack runner or a back marker. You drive­ what you are given, and you win titles in a car thats­ at the front. He did that, as did Alonso twice and­ Schumacher 7 times.

lets put LH in a bad car see how good he is

Pish: Good points and all true regarding Fernando and­ Lewis in 2007. However, Lewis did beat Alonso in the­ Championship. It may not have been outright as they­ had the same points, but on the count back rule Lewis­ took second in the Championship and Fernando­ third.

And I can't believe the number of­ self-important, jealous, obnoxious, up themselves, down­ right questionable fans out there. You don't come­ second in the Championship and mathc a double world­ champion in your first season and then become the­ youngest ever world champion without having a huge­ amount of talent. Stop putting your emotions in the­ way and be objective. Hamilton is one of the best­ talents in F1 by a mile, along with Alonso who I hate­ (see how that works Hamilton Haters, I dislike Alonso­ and still admit he is a great driver, see it is­ possible to do both), and the most exciting driver in­ F1 by far.

Fernando Alonso, just by a whisker over LH followed by­ the two ferrari boys. You can arrange the others­ yourself.

CHRIS I - you seriously think any of the proposed rule­ changes have anything to do with young Lewis? -and here­ I am thinking ole' Bernie was delusional....

Fernando Alonso. Two consecutive wins cant be lucky and­ with a R28. Not to mention he's a two-time­ champion. Vettel is second and a very strong competent­ as he gains more experience.

for me alonso is a good driver but LH is the best.

At the moment the answer is obvious and by the way that­ they are already proposing new rules it is obvious the­ FIA agree, it is Lewis Hamilton.
It took the FIA a few­ years to change the rules and pursecute Michael­ Schumacher to stop him winning every year but it only­ took them part of last season to pick on Lewis­ Hamilton.

yeah but they cheated, Massa is the true 08 champ, that­ reminds me when is Glock going to be investigated???­ soon i hope......

Raikkonen. Had just bad luck 2008. He´s the fastest­ driver!

What a silly question; the reigning World Champion is­ (be definition) the best driver. Durrrr.

FA, Vettel, KR, LH, RK, FM. thats my vote. aurora last­ year, FA would have won easily if not for the ducked­ positions and points all passed on to his team mate­ hamilton. He still finished 1 point off kimi and same­ with hamilton. Don´t get me wrong, LH is a good driver.­ but not as good as someone like FA. (takes a regular­ car and makes it a winner, an all rounder) while on the­ otherhand LH takes a fast car and thrashes it, exiting­ though. But do u really believe he would have done half­ as good vettel or FA if he had thier cars. (only­ justifying my votes)

Vettel, he won in a second team of a second rate car.­ He is the best driver.

LH, FA, FM, KR all have/had the­ bset cars to work with. Vettel had nothing

i think it is alonso as he beat schumacher at his best­ twice when ferrari were a better team than they are­ today. its funny how people think hamilton beat alonso­ when they were at mclaren but they both got the same­ number of points, same number of wins and same number­ of retirements - looks fairly equal to me although­ hamiltons lowest position was 9th and alonso's­ 7th.

if everyone was at their best in the same car i­ would imagine FA would be best followed by KR and then­ possibly LH. i am still not convinced about massa or­ kubica as they havent won anything yet.

But not as good as MASSA, Hamilton 4th

Just click on all the names, and view the stats. Clear­ winner Hamilton. Shaun C u just blinkered mate, view­ the stats they tell the story.

it sure as hell is not hamilton going on the above­ shortlist 1 kubica 2 alonso 3 massa 4 hamilton 5­ raikkonen kr should be higher but seems to have lost­ interest also vettal should have been in there i would­ have rated him & massa jt 3rd

You are wrong.Last year L.H beat F.A with the same­ car.This proved that L.H is better than F.A which is a­ great driver too.
