The obvious candidate is Lewis Hamilton who has handily been backed by McLaren Mercedes since the age of 10 but I believe has more than enough talent to justify his backing. He was a dominant champion in Formula Renault this year and took part in a handful of F3 races as well at the end of the year where his learning curve seemed encouraging. In his final race of the year, he qualified on pole in Korea. I feel he has the natural speed and has potential to add the necessary maturity to suceed as he heads off to the Euroseries.

Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3. Does that make too much sense or is it just me?

As for Lewis Hamilton, let's not set off a bandwagon - we aren't Finns or Brazilians after all.

i hate to be the first to mention it,since it shouldnt be a factor at all,but does anyone else think Hamilton will face difficulties with the racial thing?it will be a big step to have a coloured driver in f1.
i certainly hope he will make it,but its way to early to say,he was impresice in his younger karting days i remember but its been hard to judge him since as he has always had the best backing.

(F3000 is somewhat irrelevant and a last chance to get into F1)
2. British F3 - F3 Euroseries
3. British Renaults - Renault Eurocup
4. Italian/French/German Renaults - Formula BMW - Formula Ford
5. European Formula A (karting) - Weird national series like Formula Novis in Spain, your Serbian edsels, etc

I might have been offended by such a remark, but coming from you I take it you don't know any better. Still, wouldn't you say it is about time to grow up for you too?

I've been wondering, if Lewis managed to perform vey well in F1, would it help the popularity of the sport? (perhaps the black people community?) maybe in the same way that Tiger Wood does?
Bernie has always said that F1 needs a black driver, I'm sure Bernie can't wait to see Lewis arrives.

If he gets an good F3 seat this year in the British series, I won't expect anything less than a 1st, 2nd or 3rd in the Championship, and that should validate the praise heaped on such a young driver, more than enough to prove he is a potential star driver.

But somehow it never quite seemed to work - even back in 1970, we had Emerson Fittipaldi bucking the system and graduating to F1 out of F3. This has always been F2 and then F3000's problem - get a really promising youngster (like Emmo, and Senna, and Mika H.) and they get poached straight from F3 to F1 whilst the slower developers who work their way up each rung of the ladder find the door shut at the top and al the seats taken.
As for Lewis Hamilton, let's not set off a bandwagon - we aren't Finns or Brazilians after all. And his Uncle Ronnie and Uncle Norbert seem to be looking after him very well anyway! But I think Lewis may well prove to be the thorn in Kimi's side in about 2006 or 7.

This is very true. Unfortunately, the proliferation of rival slicks and wings classes means that a young driver may not be up against much opposition. Hamilton this year hasn't really had anyone much to beat and nor did Kimi in his FRenault year, or Pizzonia in his. So the talent scouts aren't really seeing the full picture.Originally posted by Al.
It just means that Team bosses and scouts get to see drivers earlier, particularly if they have gone straight from karts to one of those series.

Dennis added: "Norbert [Haug] and I have control in respect with all drivers and there are some very talented drivers driving DTM cars as well.
"The position with Lewis is we want him to maintain to the end of his Formula Three championship the domination that he has had to date, and it has been a dominating championship."
