This is definitely the question on everyone’s lips. When McLaren at the start of the season went in for a rookie, there were many critics including me,how can a top class team looking to regain form, hire a two time formula one world champion at one end and a rookie at the other. but Lewis Hamilton is most definitely the best thing to happen to the McLaren F1 team for a long time.
He impressed many with his 3rd place in the 2007 Australian Grand Prix with all the media hype and glory, and then when he got 2nd place in Malaysia , people just went WILD. In the last 24 hours, the site has got 300 hits with people searching for some permutation or combination of rookie Lewis Hamilton. People love the fact that the young Brit speaks his mind, he went to the extent of claiming that he tricked Felipe Massa into making a mistake and later even ‘apologised’ for tricking Massa. This kind of young and raw talent is just what F1 needed.
But can he make it 1st place at Bahrain, people say he can !

Its observed that Lewis drives well in the hot tropical climates, even though Bahrain is not tropical, its definitely hot. So its going to be a great opportunity for him to cement his place as one of the best rookies in formula one. He has easily outclassed/outshone/outnews(ed) Heiki Kovalainen who must be thinking why did Lewis have to come during this season only. All in all, there is no battle of the rookies atleast for now. Lewis Hamilton has won it hands down.
Whatever the future holds for the young Lewis Hamilton, you will surely catch it here on Rediscover Formula One !
