Kimi and Lewis's errors have maybe flattered him a bit. After giving Lewis a gap the size of the Grand Canyon at the hairpin in Germany, he isn't quite at the heights necessary, I think in all honesty, his best bet is more errors from Lewis and Kimi.

Can you see Lewis winning the title, then? He has probably looked the most solid out of the top three drivers.

I think Lewis has put himself in a very good position, he is getting to grips with his McLaren, and his last two performances have been supreme, but he has shown that he can crack under pressure.

 

He has had a few very bad races, and I think as team leader that has brought him a new set of challenges, such as car setup and even more media interest.

You mentioned there that he can crack under pressure. Is that a reference to Bahrain, Montreal, and France?

 

 

 

Daniel

 

Yeah definitely, in Bahrain he wasn’t focused at all at the start. In Montreal, he made a very amateur mistake, and he never recovered from his penalty in at Magny-Cours. I think we have seen two different Lewis Hamiltons this season, like we have seen two Kimi Raikkonens. If Hamilton can build on the momentum he has, he could be unstoppable. People said that after Monaco and then look what happened!
