And his name is Lewis Hamilton. This is the guy who ultimately replaced my former F1 boyfriend, Juan Montoya :) Yes, my husband is aware that I have boyfriends who I do not personally know and are crazy foxy! This kid and really I mean kid - he's 22! - is tearing up Formula 1 racing. This is his rookie year. He is #1 in the points, has won 2 races now (he just won the US Gran Prix, which Hung took our nephew Andy to see), and has been on the podium (that's top 3 for those who don't do racing but are still reading this post) in every race this season. Suffice to say, he's kicking ass. ROOKIE. And cute. And he races for McLaren Mercedes, so at least I am staying true to my team. Even though they have that jackass, Alonso racing for them too.
Let's quote a little from his wiki entry "At Bahrain, he became the first F1 driver to finish in the top three in his first three F1 championship races, a record he subsequently extended to his first seven races. Finishing second in Spain made Hamilton the youngest driver ever to lead the drivers' championship. By winning a Grand Prix at his sixth attempt in Canada, Hamilton became the fourth youngest Grand Prix winner, and the first driver since Juan Pablo Montoya in 2001 to win a race in his first season. His second win, at Indianapolis, marked the first time in F1 history that a rookie driver took two consecutive poles and race victories."
Yes, you can note the reference to my former boyfriend, Juan :)
