Its pathetic that F1 needs rain to make it exciting.

I like LH's driving, but sometimes he just made me jump and scream "WHY???!!!" (e.g. Japan GP 2008) His fight were all spectacular, but unfortunately some are unnecessary. (e.g. Shanghai 2007, Fuji 2008). Aggressive overtake might get Hamilton to win the battle, but lose the "war" (race). Since modern F1 is a combination of many aspects to win (Driver, Team, Car, Weather, Strategy, Management, etc). Drivers needs to be aggressive at some point, but also thinking about "the big picture", the "big picture" will bring him the WDC.

At Hamilton's 4th season in F1, he's been thinking a lot more about the "big picture" but also kept his overtaking moves, as he gain experience, he will find a perfect balance of when to overtake, and when to manage his car/engine/tires.

One thing I'm worry about LH was, he constantly stepping the fine-line of being punished by the FIA stewards. Drivers also need to stay outta trouble so there won't be any excuse to post any "knee-jerk" penalties from the FIA.
