Thats a big step IMHO.. Reminds me of what Jenson Button did a few years back and look how long its taken him to become a winner..

Best of luck to him, but he's for a very steep learning curve.

True but I believe Button got caught up in the whole jet set life style.

If you watch his interviews he comes across ( to me anyway ) as a motivated head strong racer.
Thats what you need to succeed in F1, not just talent.

I think had Jenson been able to stay at Williams for 2001 his first win would have been a lost sooner in coming.

Good for him. However, I for one will not be watching the most boring motorsport
series currently known to man!

You don't know what you're missing, Steve.

Next season is going to be very interesting and I'll miss Schuey, especially after how he drove in the last race. First class. But I don't think Hamilton will make the big impact that's expected of him, and I agree with Fizz it will probably take a few years for him to find his feet.
