Another 1-2 finish by Mclaren, they stole the show again although most of the action is from the back markers

Lewis Hamilton maintains that he is still not thinking about winning the world championship, despite extending his points lead with his second consecutive race victory at Indianapolis.

The 22-year-old Briton beat McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso in a straight fight on Sunday to move into a 10-point lead at the top of the drivers' standings.

He now patently has to be considered a real contender, if not the favourite, to clinch the title in his first season of Formula 1.

But Hamilton did his best to deflect the weight of expectations after his latest win, insisting that talk of the championship endgame is premature and that he hasn't changed his approach since the beginning of the year.

"I wouldn't say my goals have changed," he said.

"As I said, I came to the season with an open mind just trying to do a good job.

"Yes, we're seven races into the championship, I have to be smart and realise that I'm running at the front and there is a possibility of winning the championship.

"But I still think it's far, far too early to even think about it or get any hopes up.

"Anything can happen during the season; I just have to try and remain consistent and try to keep on winning.

"But, you know, as many points from each race is good for the team and also for me.

"So I'm sure that's what Fernando and I are going to try to do."

Despite his determination to keep a tight rein on expectations and take each race as it comes, Hamilton admits that his success - he has now finished on the podium in each of his first seven grands prix - has exceeded his wildest dreams.

"I never expected to... I hoped maybe I would get a podium at some point but I've been on the podium for the last seven races. It's just insane," he said.

"I find it very, very hard to come to terms with everything.

"So I'm not reading stuff that's going on in the papers, I'm just focusing on trying to enjoy it without any of the other stuff confusing me.

"But I don't think anyone expected me to do as well as I'm doing."

I just heard news from radio that Schu will race against Hamilton for charity event. I couldn't remember when and where but I'm really looking forward to watch this race. Legendary VS amazing rookie..

Lewis Hamilton crashed the go-kart that had been sold at a charity auction for £42,000 on Thursday. The 22-year-old championship leader has yet to make a mistake in a Grand Prix but during a demo in the kart around a specially constructed track in central London he lost control after clipping a barrier.

The contact flipped the go-kart around, but Hamilton emerged without injury. The damage to the kart was not at all significant though.

Spyker F1 team boss Colin Kolles believes Adrian Sutil can become Lewis Hamilton's biggest rival on track. Lewis Hamilton is currently leading the Formula 1 championship and has been racing with Sutil in the Formula 3 series two years ago.

Hamilton has shocked the Formula 1 world this season as he finished his first seven races on the podium but F1's other rookie, Adrian Sutil, has also been doing well at Spyker defeating his team-mate Christijan Albers at various occasions.

To Spyker team boss Colin Kolles it is pretty clear. Sutil will become Hamilton's biggest challenge in Formula 1. "In Adrian Sutil we have the number one challenger to Lewis Hamilton," Kolles told PA. "But we have to provide our drivers with a better car so they can challenge. Adrian was Lewis Hamilton's former team-mate in Formula 3 so they know each other's strengths and they know each other's weaknesses.

"He is a promising young talent for us, but we have to be realistic with where we are at the moment in terms of the car. We are always working on improving the car and we need to provide him with a better car to compete against the best teams and drivers. Adrian is a big asset for the future. I believe in the future Adrian will be a big rival on the track to Lewis Hamilton."

Other teams are sandbagging? Heck, Sutil set the fastest time during the third practice of Monaco GP and he still ends up nearly last during qualifying.
Also, wet race is on the cards, which means many teams are testing wet weather setup

Yep, I hated their commentary. And listen closely you hear they said "And SURELY Fernando Alonso will start at the back row of the grid with Takuma Sato"
