Lewis Hamilton Version 2.0
Lewis Hamilton was signed to McLaren early in his career at the tender age of 13. This week another youngster looks set to follow in Hamilton’s footsteps.
Oliver Rowland, a 14 year old karting talent, has been signed to the McLaren Young Driver Support programme. Martin Whitmarsh has already confirmed they would like to put Oliver on a career plan similar to Hamilton’s despite denying he’s the next Lewis Hamilton.
It must be remembered that Nick Heidfeld is also a graduate of the McLaren programme.. so does this make Lewis Hamilton Nick Heidfeld Version 2.0? ;)Â Just as long as he’s not Ricardo Zonta Version 2.0! (who’s a good driver, but just doesn’t have the same level of success)

i think Hammy rocks… he is here for the long run and he sprints like a dark thoroughbred Arab. I wish him all the best for his career.
boTTleJuice - “Hammy”.. what a fantastic nick-name!! LOL!
hey it would b worse….. we could have a Jean-Denis Deletraz Version 2.0
He sprints like a dark thoroughbred Arab? That is so wrong for so many reasons.
Yeah but Hammie [and Ron's] comments after the race really got Mclaren in trouble now.
