GP2 Champion and fast rising star Lewis Hamilton has been confirmed in the second race seat at the McLaren Formula One team where he will partner two-times World Champion, Fernando Alonso.

During his passage through the various junior formula on his way to a Grand Prix seat, Hamilton has shown incredible natural speed and a penchant for overtaking when others hesitate, he’s always exciting to watch and in many ways reminds me of Nigel Mansell behind the wheel. Hamilton himself often cites Ayrton Senna as his role model – and from what I’ve seen so far has the potential to match either of these two great past champions.
