Correct me here, but I have the impression that Hamilton is the first black to win the F1 Driver’s Championship.  If so, I wish he were an American black.  Not an English black.  But no matter, I’m happy for him and I believe he is on track to becoming another Schumacher if he wins this year’s title again.

It looks like he’s a formidable opponent on the race track, giving the likes of Raikonnen and Alonso, earlier thought to succeed Schumacher, a real run for the money, as it were.   This 2009 season has just started and there’s every reason to see Hamilton do a repeat of last year’s win.  But no matter, I think the F1 now has a much better playing field without the legendary Schumacher on it.
