Much like Mark Webber; down to earth and honest. @Craig: I think that no matter what Lewis does (win or lose) ITV won't stop. If he wins, he'll become a national hero, and if he loses he'll get beaten up in the media in much the same way as Jenson has. Flip a coin... @Alianora: I like his style as well.

At Monaco, a lot comes down to qualifying - or in other words, not being stuck behind slower cars for lap after lap. So far, Lewis has shown he can qualify with the best of them - albeit not necessarily on the same fuel load as others, but as overtaking is practically impossible there then that's not such a big issue. It's going to be interesting - not sure if I want him to win just so ITV and F1 Racing, etc shut up about it all, or if that would just make them worse...

Best wishes for him, his wife and child-to-be. I like Alex Wurz’s down-to-earth viewpoint of Monaco. Best wishes for him, his wife and child-to-be.
