Being Nostradamus

my first attempt at being Nostradamus. having caught snippets of the German GP earlier in the evening today made me want to try and predict the outcome of this season's F1 championship winner. watching lewis drive the wheels off his mclaren reminded me of a certain 7 time champion in his pomp. it must have been bitter sweet for schumi to be watching his mirror image doing the business on a GP weekend and beating his understudy massa from the pit wall. there was a certain inevitability to hamilton's command performance. massa on the other hand has flattered to deceive this whole season.
something tells me, his F1 career is in serious jeopardy. the reds are not used to seeing their minions being out driven and out muscled on track. kimi seems like he has been satiated with just one championship ring and massa has been shown up to be the pretender that he was trying so hard to hide from the world. at the first hint of a fight, he panics and shrivels up into his shell. his excuses after today will be an interesting read.
so here goes my prediction for this years title - Lewis Hamilton it will be. he turned a corner with his home win two weeks ago and is just beginning to stamp his authority on the field like schumi. all those of you out there who thought Schumi made it boring for fans better be prepared for an encore.
i just hope he drives for the reds sometime soon.....;)
