lewis needs new approach

i would like to state that i support the british drivers first and foremost
i must admit i favour JB then LH followed by PDIR.
my favouritism is based on who came into the sport first and in turn supporting said person first.
LH is a fabulous driver, but like all drivers he has his faults, and i feel his biggest problem is down to a lack of patience, the rush of blood takes over and costs him big time, IMO hes probably the quickest driver at the moment, without having the fastest car.
he could do with taking up meditating or something cos with a calmer head he would be even better.

Agree. F1 needs Lewis Hamilton, he is second only to Kobayashi as the most exciting driver, followed by Jenson and his tactical, methodical silky smooth driving which does look amazing.

But he needs to judge situations better which he will learn with time. I think he should've backed out of the move with Jenson and waited till the hairpin or in general just been a little more cautions, there was so long left to go it was too early to get frustrated!

How he will react from this will show a lot, i believe competing with Jenson will help him become one of the best drivers of all time.

^^ Agree with the above.

Lewis is still young and he willl learn from this.

I don't understand this fascination with Kobayashi. He seems to have poor intelligence when it comes to tactical driving. All he does is put his foot down on the accelerator and overspeed through corners.

People talk about his daredevil speed....but I find his driving lacks any intelligence. Vettel, Alonso and Hamilton are all more sophisticated drivers.

Alonso can go jump off a cliff for all i care, he's one of the best no doubt but sophisticated? All he ever does is blame everyone else for his mistakes. look at Abu Dabi last year, blames Petrov for NOT MOVING OVER AND LETTING HIM THROUGH. What so Petrov who's under pressure to keep his job should just move over?

vettel is awesome but i think he's still got to prove for me he can win when coming through the pack. fair enough with the best car he's incredible but it's about how you win for me. Hamilton is the best, he's a walking soap opera lol

Kobayashi is the most exciting driver in F1. Very unique driver. has a very smooth driving style but he's so aggressive! He's putting that sauber consistently where is should NOT be! That isn't a great car yet he was somehow mixing it with the ferrari's for long periods of that race. The guy dosen't wait, he just says, allow this I'm going through!

He's still learning but he's great fun. Brilliant driver, humble guy. my favorite driver along with the two mclaren drivers.

People somehow seem to equate daredevilry with sophisticated, intelligent driving. It's not!

Kobayashi is like the hare in Aesop's fable....just because he drives around at breakneck speeds in the short while that he's been in F1 doesn't make him a top driver. In fact, I think it's lazy driving!

Kobayahsi will be driving modified honda/suzuki with nitrous & neon lights kamikaze style into his late 90's
