What should I call it? Two men both young, fresh, never raced before in F1, started their career together in F1 this year. Lewis Hamilton with McLaren & Heiki Kovalainen with Renault.
They both had immense pressure on them. Lewis was joining McLaren partnering double World Champion Fernando Alonso, and Heiki was filling the seat of Fernando at Renault who went on to join McLaren.
Now Renault was a double champion team, won both the drivers and constructor's championship in 2005 and 2006. Heiki joined a team with some solid results and past performance.
Lewis joined a team that was dominant some 10 years back with Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost but was nothing more recently when the fastest driver (Raikkonen) was with them; they had various engine failures etc. Bringing them on track wasn't only in hands of drivers but since Lewis wanted a drive in F1, he joined McLaren.
Everyone expected that in 2007, Heiki will be on top with Renault power and Lewis at the bottom with McLaren's poor performance but the results are different. Heiki is struggling with Renault and Lewis is leading the championship.. Why?
