England,known for hyping its talents,have a new hero in F1, Lewis Hamilton.Ahead of the silverstone GP,with hamilton in a clear lead after 8 rounds,british media goes ga-ga over him,to the extend of calling him 'genius of a lifetime' (Daily Mirror).
Brits always wanted the world to believe that theirs' are the best talents.They promote even average players,calling them the future champions in their respective sports.In reality they had very few sports heroes,who ruled the world.So, when they find a talent like Hamilton,It is all but natural for the Brit media to promote him in a big way.
Hamilton indeed looks to be a rare find and might serve the brit media for quite a long time.For a F1 rookie,leading the championships for well over 8 rounds is not a joke.Accepted, he has a talented team and support staff,he had rigorous preparations,had patience to work with the team for longer hours,etc..But,to enter the tracks with so much confidence and do so well as a rookie is not an easy thing to do.
Hamilton indeed has done wonders so far,not only for him,also for the F1 racing itself.We have the new-gen F1 drivers now,like hamilton and Alonso, who keep the F1 flag flying.
This weekend will see hamiltons first home GP and the brits would like to see him win the race.That would push the Brit media into another level of 'Hamilton mania'
