I completely agree. If you look at Silverstone as a prime example when him and Alonso were fighting, you could see both drivers giving their all, but their amount of skill was limited to the ability of the cars limits, hence why they kept letting each other by; alonso getting oversteer when he shouldnt', lewis getting understeer when he shouldnt. The pair are still above their machinery at the mo.phil1993 wrote:True. IMO he's driving better this year than last (except for Silverstone 08) - he made mistakes but only because the car is c**p. When you have a good car it is not possible to make the mistakes! (that makes sense right? ) - and he proved that on Sunday; he was blisteringly quick and a hell of a lot faster than Heikki. Yes, its a McLaren track, but he was still supreme. As Brundle said, he was composed when he lost his position to Webber, whereas last year he probably would have lost a wheel with a banzai moveblizzard wrote:I must say Lewis gained a fair amount of credit from me for that race.
He drove good and focused. None of that sometimes pathetic stuff we saw last season. The talent was always there, he only needed to get his mindset right. Maybe races like Istanbul have helped him to find himself.
Id take brundles comment and assessment with a pinch of salt personally. I mean he's driven 2 mature races ever in his career; China 08 and Hungry 09. I think when the pressures on and the overconfidence is back; he'll fall fowl of it. One race doesnt change a man does it.
