A question to people who know about Formula 1

[Conrad]

It's a good hyperthetical question which was answered with the inception of A1 GP racing. This was created a couple years back as a competitor to F1. Basically every car is the same, you nominate a driver for each nation and they all compete equally. This way there's no what ifs or buts, the best man wins.

But, and it's big but; A1 will never rival F1 or get the same coverage, F1 is just too established.

Personally I think Hamilton is easily one of the top 3 drivers in the world. Sure he has a superior car to pretty much everyone else out there but the evidence of his ability is still there for all to see. The obvious evidence is Fernando Alonso. He was a two time world champion with an inferior team in Renault. He won the championship two years running in a car that shouldn't be capable of beating a Ferrari yet he did. That goes to show how talented Alonso really is.

He then moves to Mclaren where his new team mate is the rookie Hamilton. They have the same car, same team, same tactics yet Hamilton still continually beats him in qualifying and in the actual races.

Hamiltons current team mate Kovalienen(sp) was tipped to be the next big thing so Mclaren signed him. Again he has the same car as Hamilton but week in week out Hamilton has totally eclpised him, Hamilton really is that good.

The current best drivers in the world today imo are Hamilton, Alonso and Massa/Raikkonen. Kubica is also a driver that punches way above his weight, so to speak...
