I haven't been watching Formula 1 so far this season, but I have been following the reports of the rise of Lewis Hamilton, the newest F1 superstar. Four races into the season, and though he has yet to win a race, he's already leading in points, the youngest to ever do so. As the first black driver to actually compete in F1, it's interesting how little is being made of the fact. Even this discussion is rather tame. Historically F1 has been a gentleman's game, but since the big money came in years ago, it's all about performance and winning races. Hamilton seems poised to win one and race now, and I wish him luck. It is good to see the world's second most popular sport just a bit more open and reflective of the world.
