Villeneuve's record:
- almost won on his debut season
- won the championship in only his second year of Formula 1
- did badly in the season following his win
Hamilton did just the same as Villeneuve.

Prediction
Ever since Lewis Hamilton won the Championship last season I predicted if Hamilton would do a Jacques Villeneuve. Villeneuve has a record that is similar to Hamilton.

Racism against Hamilton
Hamilton says that he only got through the anguish because of the support he received from his fans. Articles haven't yet failed to point out that Hamilton is the first black driver in Formula 1 history.
Honestly saying him being black doesn't really make an impact to me. I just see him as I see every driver in Formula 1, I don't really think he is special being black. So everytime I see an article of him complaining about how unfair it is I just think he is being whiny. Clearly he doesn't know what it is like living in Malaysia then, where the different races are being discriminated almost everyday. Just recently the Chinese and Indians were just described as "Pendatangs" which translates into "comers" in English. Isn't that more discriminating than his black make up and wigs??
Maybe I just don't know what it is like to other countries who just couldn't accept it, but Lewis Hamilton will have to shut it and get on with his driving because in his world the only language is how you drive your car. He should feel lucky that those discriminators don't go all the way down to the pits to taunt him.

Hamilton's Empayer
The 2008 F1 season has ended and everyone knows who won the title. Kimi Raikkonen has no choice but to surrender his "no.1" to his team-mate's biggest rival Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton has been arrogant but we have been wondering how he would be like when he really won the Championship, well we can wonder no more since he did win the title by one point.
It is a fact that the Brazilion GP will go down in history as one of the most exciting races in Formula 1. Few laps to the end Lewis Hamilton was being overtaken by the Torro Rosso car formerly a Minardi of Sebastien Vettel. Amazing how Vettel is daring enough to make a move when he knew that his car is not as powerful as the Mclaren, I was squizzing the pillow as I watch him did it!! Everyone thought that he was the driver to determine who the champion would be but who would have guessed that a Toyota driver was the real reason Hamilton won the championship.
Hamilton may be celebrating his victory but Timo Glock is the one who is suffering, he is going to have to endure the shine of the spotlight as Brazil's most disliked driver. I'm guessing that he has to leave the country before anyone catch up with him. What are the odds the Brazilians would be shouting to boycott Toyota for the next few years?
Hamilton will be ruling his subjects next season, this season he has clearly showed that he has no respect for any of the more senior drivers (he did so last year too when he actually dare to challenge the reighing world champion Alonso). Now that he is at the top what do you think he would treat the other drivers?
Lets see if he is going to become the 2nd Jacques Villeneuve to almost win his 1st season then did so in his 2nd season and form then on his career went downhill that he actually drop out of the sport?

Engines to last for 3 races
The FIA just said that they will want the engines for the Formula 1 cars to last for 3 races next year, I wonder how are they going to manage that? Can we expect more retirements for every race there is? I think we can.
For this year the FIA has a rule to say that all drivers can only change their engines after it has been used in 2 races. It is already a problem for the teams and drivers as they couldn't expect the car to last to the end of the race or not. I'm beginning to suspect that Massa's retirement in Hungary is because he is using his old engine and a low quality con-rod. Which reminds me of Raikkonen's car which seem to have exploded in the Valencia GP.
That's the FIA, their job is to make up silly rules like not allowing tyre change in the 05 season and no traction control for the 08 season. There are a few useful rules that came from them now and then but mostly the rules and silly.
Want to cut down costs eh? Standard engines and all that junk. I don't see them dropping the idea of the KERS, I heard that the system is of a very high cost and they are saying they are cutting down on costs...

Ferrari wants to quit?
Lately, the FIA has comes up with a idea for cutting cost in F1. The FIA wants all teams to use a standard engine for 2010 and wouldn't accept the engines the respective teams produce. Both Ferrari and Toyota are planning to leave F1 if the FIA wouldn't allow them to use their own engines. Besides that, Mclaren and BMW are also agreeing with Ferrari and Toyota to leave the sport should this decision be carried out.
But it turns out, the FIA are not going to change their minds about the problem. They also said that they had offered 3 options the first option is that teams are to use a standard engine, the second is that they accept engines from only one manufacturer and the third is that the major teams supply power trains to independents teams. Funny they should even mention all three because from my point of view the 3 options seem to be the same...
The FIA are seriously a bunch of weirdos that loves coming up with weird rules. Back in 2005 the rule is that teams are not to change tires during a race, obviously that failed since in 2006 teams are allowed to change tires again. Then for this year they said no traction control and drivers are only allowed to change engines after the engine is used in 2 races.
If Ferrari were to quit Formula 1 I think the sport would lose half of its viewers. Some people just watch because they are Ferrari supporters.

Obvious
So Lewis Hamilton won the Chinese GP, so what I still don't favour him to win the World Championship even how much my family members say how good he is. Yaya, he's brilliant, he's perfect, wonderful- whatever. It doesn't changes the fact that he is arrogant.
Anyway, the most talked about topic is how Felipe Massa overtook Kimi Raikkonen during the ending stages of the race. It was obvious Kimi Raikkonen allowed Massa overtake him. I think that if it were another person overtaking him I would guess that he would have made a better effort to defend his position.
Notice the smile Raikkonen gave when asked about the overtake, it would have confirmed that he alowed his team mate to drive pass him in the long straight. No need for him to answer just that expression is enough.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
After a long time of shaking our heads with disagreement with Ron Dennis, we have came to a conclusion that he is permanently blinded by the "brilliant" glare of his "shining star".
Obviously that Lewis Hamilton has been doing a lot of illegal moves that made him deserved to be punish. Ron Dennis and his pose has continuedly denied that their star has done anything wrong in the past few races.
Therefor, we have came to the conclusion that Hamilton has been shining to brightly for the past few races and that has lead to Ron Dennis and his Mclaren pose to not see the mistakes that he has done.
