...Hamilton, meanwhile, is the sport's most compelling presence. The handsome, doughty 23-year-old and F1's first black driver was bold yet rock solid last year right from his first race. Some of the former kart champion's overtaking maneuvers had veteran observers shaking their heads in astonishment. A comfortable winner in Melbourne before a fifth-place finish in Sepang, where Räikkönen dominated, last year's upstart is one of this year's favorites. Will Hamilton have the mettle to cope? Sound judges are sure of it. "Every now and again a talent comes...
...This year's drivers' championship is shaping as the best of recent times. It follows the closest in the sport's history and is the first to be contested under new rules that are helping to produce some spectacular racing. In the crash-laced opener in scorching conditions in Melbourne, just seven of the 22 drivers finished the race. There were fewer mishaps a week later in Sepang, Malaysia, where 17 drivers made it to the end, but the racing remained fierce and unpredictable. The key is the abolition of driver aids that have worked to neutralize some drivers' superior...
...Alonso and Lewis Hamilton by winning in Brazil. "Team-mates" can be an empty word in F1. Applied to Alonso and Hamilton it was comically inappropriate. As a two-time world champ and McLaren's senior driver, the emotional Alonso could be excused for failing to share in the sport's enthusiasm for Hamilton's stunning rookie year. Accusations flying (Alonso felt the British team was favoring the Brit Hamilton despite Alonso's superior status), the pair got themselves to a place from which there was no way back, and the Spaniard has returned to Renault, where...
...Tiger for the first time I looked in his eyes and I had a very familiar sight. It just looked like hunger for the top position, and I don't think there's anybody in better shape than Tiger Woods. I think he could probably play any sport he wants to. I can't say that to Derek even though Derek has a special presence on a ball club. He may not be the best athlete that's ever played shortstop but there are things he brings to the table-as far as his leadership and things like that-that...
...number 4,000 is too great to grasp even for us that are here in Iraq. When we soldiers read the newspaper, the latest AP casualty figures are glanced over with the same casual interest as a box score for a sport you don't follow. I am certain that I am not alone when I open up the Stars and Stripes, the military's daily paper, and immediately search for the section with the names of the fallen to see if they include anyone I know. While in a combat outpost in southwest Baghdad, it was in that distinctive...
