How awesome is Lewis Hamilton around Monaco?

Question

I just watched onboard footage of Lewis Hamilton during the practice sessions, and his car control left me speechless.

Here it is for those haven't seen it: http://www.youtube.com/comment_servlet?all_comments&v=I0x85MQqm2o&fromurl=/watch%3Fv%3DI0x85MQqm2o

His way of driving around Monaco reminds me of the late great Ayrton Senna.

He is definately the new King of Monaco and that will be proven over time. If only he could learn to look after his tyres better, then he would be a complete driver and would be able to win at places like Turkey and other circuits that are hard on the tyres.

But the raw talent and car control is definately there.

Answer 1

Why do people have to compare him with Senna? Can't he be Lewis? Isn't that good enough? If people keep saying these things he will keep losing championships. Once he decides who he really is he'll be unstoppable.

I was actually more impressed with Kubica, he looked really fearless, getting extremely close to the wall at every corner. Rosberg did an awesome job too.

Answer 2

Not awesome enough.  Third on the grid!

If he's not at the front, he sucks.

Answer 3

He had a good drive in qualifying and you are comparing him to the man who won the race 5 times in a row.  The man who went into the zone and destroyed everyone in qualifying including his teammate Prost.  Hamilton is not a complete driver because he can't save his tyres and I wouldn't be surprised if he is on a light load.  I want to know who is going with a heavy load.

Answer 4

L.H. is good but he is no Senna, Wikipedia ayrton senna.

Answer 5

He's losing time in the middle sector at the moment, but he is certainly flying. He loves Monaco but I think Kimi wants the win badly too. should be an exciting race

Answer 6

I don't think he was that impressive to me! His skills will be put to the ultimate test come Sunday's race if it still shows rain! If he can pull a good race on Sunday, then u can say he's awesome in Monaco!
