Well thast my opinion on it - he is not a bad driver he is quite the opposite a very good driver but no where near the best
I honestly think he will be in the future but at this point in time at least 2 drivers are better than him
Agian my opinion i am not saying I am right and you are wrong

Disregarding opinion the standings say 1 driver and even at that by 1 point over an entire season.

ok by that then he is not the best driver is he
I persoanlly think he met his match with alonso after years of getting his own way
I do not agree with alonso and the way he put forward himself this season but who knows what was said etc behind closed doors - I do not really care. the result suited me as an F1 fan, Hamilton will be a better driver for this and I hope he wins the championship at some satge (in fact I am sure he will)

FPMSL he hadn't even raced on alot of the tracks before this season. I very much agree they don't stand a chance unless in a competitive car but he's something special to have an opening season like that. He still has things to learn, definately. He met his match after years of getting his own way, try reversing that statement whitter the term rookie is used for a reason alonso met his match this season and melted under the pressure.

You have to remember that Alonso has been used to being the golden pet of the team aka the Renault days, whilst at Renault he was managed by the team boss, must have been quite a shock for him to have to race his team mate on nearly equal conditions and not get all the new upgrades for the car before his team mate.
I think Lewis was unlucky, he stuck that car on the front row of the grid with more fuel than Alonso its also the first time he has been to the Interlargos circuit. Hamilton made a good start but Raikkonen's backing off behind Massa allowed Alonso alongside and to get by.
Hamilton would have definately been world champ had he not had the gearbox issue, I dont think he would have struggled to beat the BMW's or his teammate just look at the fastest laps and see how far adrift Alonso's best lap was of Hamilton, Massa and Raikkonen, he was unlucky but thats F1 for you, look at the bad luck Raikkonen has endured over the years, ironic the Mclaren that let him down so many times in the past benefited him today.
Im a long time Raikkonen fan btw

I do remember that alonso was the golden boy which was kind of my point if anyones been used to having it there way it's alonso.
You can't argue that raikkonen has had some shitty luck over the past few years I just dislike his attitude. Interesting season though, very good for the sport
