His father, Anthony, who named Lewis after the US Olympic gold medal winning athlete, Carl Lewis, [5] suffered a marital breakdown when Lewis was two, and was left to raise Lewis with his brother[6], at six, he began his racing career, when due to his hyperactivity, Anthony bought Lewis his first go-kart. Despite raising his family alone, he held down three jobs to support Lewis's career and still found enough time to attend every one of Lewis's races[
Truely, what he has done is amazing. With his super confidence and positive attitude he has been marching forward towards the chequered flag in every race. What I am concerned is the shadow of over hype he will be covered with. I believe that will be the true test of his character and will power to keep his focus on track. It has happened with Jenson Button and Mark Webber. Give him calculated praise. Comparing him with Michael, Senna or Prost will not do anything good and it is very premature do do that too.

I totally agree. Michael is the GOD of F1. Comparing a rookie to Michael and Senna is too premature... Let us watch him this season and then gauge him accordingly
