My piece of the best rookie season ever.

1:18 scale Lewis Hamilton McLaren/Mercedes. It looks great. There are details that I've never take the time to notice on the real car. The front wheels steer as well.

Raikkonen should arrive tomorrow.

Also with the scandal from Mclaren I don't know about how much his season is based on skill only.

If it wasn't in the box you would never have known.

Racing is never based on skill alone. Even if they did carbon copy a Ferrari, wouldn't the main difference come down to skill?

the thing is the difference in performance can be night and day on these machines, this is tuning racing at it's finest. the fact that Mclaren funneled information from Ferrari means they got an advantage in tuning information and the fact that Ferrari doesn't share the techniques from Mclaren about what they know, means Mclaren has an upper edge however much that might be, especially about aerodynamics.

so it's almost never just skills on F1, especially now armed with a cheating advantage, it'd be sad if they don't win.
