Lewis Hamilton

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Orrmate @ Mar 15 2007, 09:38 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Nice one

Anyway, back on topic. I think Lewis is the most talented young driver since Kimi. The difference is I think he has the determination to take him further than Kimi has (so far) gone. The whole Fernando Alonso situation could work for or against him depending how he handles things mentally.

This is where Ron Dennis comes into play, we dont want another Micheal Andretti! I hope things go ok..
I also think Lewis might reach more than Kimi. There's something about Lewis Hamilton. Aside from the fact he's really talented, he's also really determined. Sometimes I'm wondering if Kimi has ''that kind'' of determination.
I have no doubts Kimi is determined to win, but I'm just not sure how determined..

I don't think he would take the time out of his normal life to bother with any of that in RoC, afterall is a leisurely drive and not worth being stressed over. And its not like he has much to prove.
I agree too, there were many factors with Schuey and a lot of those were bad! He'd take out his own mother if he wasn't going to win.

I have seen moments of borderline bad sportsmanship with michale, but to some extent i am impressed at his total commitment to do litereally ANYTHING he can to achieve his goal. But these moments are split second decisions made in the heat of battle, and some have been made wrong, and the officials deal with that accordingly. But i don't think less of him for it.

Well you see I can't help hating him because I grew up watching F1 with my dad ever since I was born and he absolutely HATES Schumacher for all he's worth because of what he did to Damon Hill when he basically took him out and robbed his title. Funny thing is though, I used to support Schumi as a lil kid, then realised I didn't like him a few years ago.

He's a great racer and I admire that, some of the things he does on the circuit wind me up all because of the type of person he is, arrogant and big-headed. If he wasn't any of these personalities I wouldn't dislike him for taking someone out from time to time as it's the heat of moment thing.

See i have to disagree, i always thought that MS was one of the nicest people on the grid. He was polite and fair, more modest and less arrogant than his world titles would allow.

As much as I hate the cheating, that side of him always made me have a huge amount of respect for him. I loved his work ethic.

Then again he wouldn't of had 7 titles if he didn't cheat in his arrogant ways to win them, he'd be on 5 or possibly 6 if he's lucky. Don't get me wrong I have a huge lot of respect for him but it's like smoking, once you get hooked it's hard to get un-hooked, same with me hating Schumacher. I was bought up into it.

I agree, he did some ''dirty'' things on track in the past, but if you look at his whole career, he did a FANTASTIC job.
I wish people would also see the many many great things he did. Ow, btw..I don't approve the ''dirty'' tricks he pulled (adelaide 94, jerez 97, Monaco 06).

Same here man. Like I said before, I do not approve it, but I do understand it. like you said, Michael did almost anything to win. That shows his passion and great determination for victory. That made him so damn good, the passion I mean, not the cheating

Yes, exactly!!!!
It always shocks me a bit when people call MS arrogant. He is definitely NOT arrogant. He's just bloody good, that's all

I never understood it when people said they hate a certain driver..why would you wanna ''hate'' a driver. I can understand it if you ''dislike'' someone, but hate???

YES YES YES!!!!

I've created a Michael Schumacher thread, let's carry this on in there!
