Hamilton under pressure - Hakkinen

THE PRESS ASSOCIATION - Double world champion Mika Hakkinen believes Lewis Hamilton is a man under pressure inside McLaren.

Hakkinen sees Hamilton as team leader ahead of Heikki Kovalainen and - despite the team claiming both drivers are treated equally - believes that with that comes the burden of responsibility.

"Lewis has an interesting career in front of him at the moment, but he is living in a very extreme situation," remarked Hakkinen.

"He started his career at McLaren with a double world champion team-mate (Fernando Alonso), and I'm sure he got a lot of good information from him.

I'm sure Lewis learned a lot from him in terms of how to operate inside a team and how to set the car up.

Now Lewis is in a situation where he is the leader of the team, and so he is under pressure to develop the car, make it fast and show he can get results for the team.

The pressure is very high on him. He definitely has consistent talent and he can provide performance, but as I said, the pressure is part of the game and he could start making mistakes."

......oh, and providing story/character input plus part-production credit on the trilogy.

I'll give you a half credit for the three degrees of separation. ;-)

Cool...i get a personal post from the man himself!

So, what did that have to do with Steven Spielberg's premiere seat? Other than the then tenuous link to the Lucas/Spielberg colaboration on the first IJ film?

Nice post, George, wishing a person dead strikes me as a little extreme. There must be other people in the world far more worthy of that sort of comment?
