I seriously think it's funny that all of a sudden Hamilton is "overrated". Granted, he's in a great car and the technical side of his game still has some growing to do. However, if anybody seriously thinks that Nico or Adrian would walk all over Hamilton, I believe they're sorely mistaken.
(this coming from a HUGE Nico fan. I'm not saying Hamilton is any better than Nico, but he's certainly not a definatively worse driver)

I don't think Alonso is leaving. There's a lot of turmoil in that camp but I don't think he's leaving. I am just happy Honda has 2 points right now. What is going on with them? Barrichello can't score? He's a great driver...sheesh

forget I mentioned NPjr, but I do think he has skills
BUT, I really wonder how Louise would be doing in a lack luster Williams. NR is doing rather well, I think in equal cars NR would beat Louise. By how much I dont know, but I honestly think he would be him over in final points total at end of the year.

I don't get the LH haters. Sure the press over-hyped this kid but how can you not like him? He shows us the most stunning balls-out passes that work, leads the frickin' driver's points, and is, so far, very humble in interviews. He's not pushing the boundaries of sportsmanship, as M. Schumacher used to.
What is there not to like? I look forward to watching him improve for quite a few years. Unlike, say, Coulthard, who should have retired before now.

I don't like the McCheaters he drives for, but I think as a driver he could very well turn out to be one of the greats, thus I like him.

I'll bet Piquet JR Is NO 2nd fiddle.
He or Nico in equal car will beat over rated Louise.
I think it would be wrong to put a young guy in as #2. It should be a person near end of career.
So no Piquet, Rosberg, or Sutil, as all 3 would be faster than Louise, and cause nothing but problems for old Ron.

He is benefitting from a rookie standpoint from being in a better car than most rookies get to start out in, but that is not his fault. It's a good on him for getting himself in that position in the first place imo.
