I will beat his ass - Hamilton
Belgian newspaper 'Het Laatste Nieuws' has learned from several English journalists that hamilton has bullishly said he will beat Fernando Alonso's ass. Although being very kind to Alonso in public by saying he is partnered with the best driver of the world, he is thinking otherwise behind the scenes.
Having Hamilton become a star too quickly may become a serious problem for McLaren who focussed their marketing campaigns all around the Spanish world champion. The young Brit has stunned everyone, including his very own McLaren team with his maturity, excellent speed and not making any errors in the first two Formula One races of his career.
Yet after having Alonso ahead of him, Hamilton has now taken the lead in qualifying with a pace close to 4 tenths faster than his teammate. The rest of the season may well prove eventful at McLaren now that they appear to have two of the best drivers in the field. Some dare already think back to the age of Senna and Prost at McLaren, and we all know how that turned out.
