Next year, double world champion Fernando Alonso will drive alongside Brazilian rookie Nelson Piquet Jr. After a bitter season with McLaren, which was plagued with controversial statements from all sides; Alonso has decided to take the final step. It was becoming increasingly difficult, both for him, and for Hamilton to compete in the same team. Hamilton and Kimi Raikonnen will continue to drive for the same teams.
The next season promises to be an exciting chapter in the history of Formula 1!

Lewis Hamilton wins at Hungaroring
Lewis Hamilton has won his third race. He has established a 7 point lead over Fernando Alonso, and if is able to maintain his lead in the Championships, he will be the first rookie to win the Championships. At Hungaroring, Lewis Hamilton led from the start. Alonso started from 6th position, and was struggling to overtake Ralf Schumacher. He often slid past the tracks in his desparate attempts. Lewis Hamilton was followed closely by Kimi Raikonnen, with the separation between them remaining less than a second for many laps. But, Lewis Hamilton soaked up all the pressure put on him by the experienced Raikonnen.
Kimi Raikonnen took the 2nd pitstop earlier than Hamilton, but as Hamilton was on extra fuel and as there was not much traffic ahead of him, he decided to race a few more laps before going for the pitstop. During these laps we were able to see great aggression and skill from the Brit. Every turn was negotiated in just the right manner. He was not concerned with the wearing away of the tyres as he was going to have the pitstop soon. After the pitstop Lewis Hamilton managed to have a 4 second lead over Raikonnen, but Raikonnen showed remarkable skill in lessening the gap to less than a second. But, Lewis Hamilton held him back till the end. At the finish the separation between them was 0.7 seconds. Fernando Alonso showed great aggression in his attempt to overtake Nick Heidfeld, but failed to overtake him and had to be contented to finish fourth. Honda performed miserably.
Thus it was another remarkable race, and Lewis Hamilton was at his best. The young Brit surely has in him what it takes to be a World Champion.

Is Maclaren biased in favour of Lewis Hamilton
Is Maclaren biased in favour of Lewis Hamilton; or is it just that its in Alonso's nature to put the blame on someone else.. after the latest happenings, and Ron Dennis's comment that Alonso was free to leave the team by the end of the season.. do you think that Alonso will stay in the team?
