As Lewis Hamilton wins the Malaysian
Grand-Prix I foresee him winning the Formula One World Drivers'
Championship (WDC) this year. His performance was exceptional at the Malaysian GP and he has now matched fellow Briton's, Jim Clark's (1963-65) record with 33 pole positions for qualifying. Hamilton at 29 stands a good chance of achieving more than Clark who had 33 ploes. As I watched Hamilton weave at top speed through the tracks today, I could see talent and courage there. He has it in him to win because he is just too fast and he is going in the right direction, with the right attitude. As much as Vittel was trying to catch up, it was difficult to take the lead.
The Mercedes cars too were superb. I heard Hamilton say that the noise levels were quite low in the car now and that he could hear some of the instructions clearly.
The Championship is awarded by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) to the most successful Formula One racing car driver over a season, as determined by a points system based on Grand Prix results.
Overall, thirty two different drivers have won the Championship, with Michael Schumacher holding the record for most titles, at seven. Schumacher also holds the record for most consecutive Drivers' Championships, winning five from 2000 to 2004. The United Kingdom has produced the most World Championship winning drivers with ten; Brazil and Finland are next with three each.
