Default Hamilton in Bahrain?

Because stats are always an entertaining thing to bring up, let's consider Hamilton's performance thus far.

1st Race = 3rd place and 2nd Race = 2nd place. Can you imagine what it would be like for 3rd Race = 1st place?

I suspect FM and KR are going to be in strong form, but I have to admit, I can't wait to see what Hamilton can pull off.

So what do you guys think?

Certainly possible. However at this point my opinion is that the race is Kimi's to lose.

I'll agree...

Here's to a new engine for this race. If that old one was as sick as the media suggested I'm thinking I should be very happy he got 3rd.

Look what I found...

Hamilton and Manor then made their debut in the 2004 Formula Three Euroseries. They won just one race and Hamilton was fifth in the championship. He also won the Bahrain F3 Superprix, race one of the Macau F3 Grand Prix, and had his first test in a McLaren F1 car in December that year. He defected to reigning Euroseries champions ASM for the 2005 season and dominated the championship, winning 15 of the 20 rounds. He also won the Ultimate Masters of Formula 3 at Zandvoort.

thanks 3h. i had thought so but wasn't sure. then i think hamilton will be once again be standing atop the podium. do you really think he can get by kimi and alonso for the win? that would be great (i'm not a maclaren fan), the more drivers challenging for the podium the better the race. Go SATO!
