its early to compair anyone to schumacher. he was a class apart.
when he first went to ferrari they hadnt won for a while and the car broke down to often.
he turned that team around with his driving ability,not afraid to mix it and his determination was there for all to see.
hamilton is good i agree, the way he has handled the pressure so far is great for one with so little F1 experience. but he has a good car,mechanics,team help and most of all a world champion there to help him.
i think he will go far, as for being the best ever i dont think anyone will be as good as schumacher, given his positions of 1st 2nd or 3rd against the no. of races he had.
