I will let Ron Dennis Lewis's boss and F1 supremo explain in an interview with Rueters why its so great:
McLaren boss Ron Dennis showered praise on his driver Lewis Hamilton following the rookie’s accomplished first grand prix victory in Canada.
The 22-year-old controlled the race from start to finish, apparently oblivious to the chaos that was going on around him.
Dennis said Hamilton’s success deserved the highest praise because it was earned on merit rather than relying on good fortune.
“It was a textbook drive from him and he didn’t put a foot wrong,” Dennis was quoted as saying by Reuters.
“He drove the car faultlessly and did not have one single thing gifted to him – it was a race he won from start to finish.
“That makes it a special win because the first win for many drivers, which is sometimes their only win, comes from circumstances that are unusual to the event.
“This was a straight out, full-on, tremendous achievement and at one of the most difficult circuits in the world and he deserves all the plaudits he will undoubtedly get.”
Hamilton has now finished on the podium in each of his first six grands prix and leads the world championship by eight points – a quite unprecedented achievement.
But Dennis, who has guided Hamilton’s career for more than a decade, claims not to be surprised by his Lewis’ precociousness.
“Honestly I am not surprised because you just know that he can cope,” he said.
“He wants to understand and be the best in every respect and he is focused on that and he is a good listener.”
