Hmmmm. While Alonshole did behave pretty badly, it's not like Hamilton wasn't a contributor to the mess there too.

I think the McClaren wqill go beck to the reliability levels they had when Kimi and JPM were their drivers. He won't win the championship with cars don't finish.
If they do have the reliability they had in 2007, instead of theunreliability they showed for the previous 5-6 years, then Hamilton has to show he can control his adrenelin at the end of the season. The championship was his to lose last year, and he found a way to throw it away in the last 2 races. Coming in to the pits too hot at China on worn out tires was a mistake, but throwing it away in Brazil when all he had to do was play follow the leaders was inexcusable. When he learns to drive with his head, and not just his physical skills, he will have a chance. The problem is that technology changes in Formula 1, even with the freezes that have been put in place on significant areas of development. When a driver has the opportunity to win the championship, he has to do it, because he may never have a competitive car again.

... And the only reason that he was so far ahead going into the latter part of the season was that Kimi had to adjust to the Ferrari and to the tires... Hamilton won't have that luxury again. Kimi's going to walk with it.
