F1 visits Indianapolis for 2007 United States Grand Prix

Following the somewhat chaotic F1 battle in Montreal, F1 racing resumes this Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

And guess what, we finally have one sole owner of the F1 drivers championship lead. McLaren - Mercedes rookie driver Lewis Hamilton got his very first grand prix win in Canada last week and will now head to the 2007 United States Grand Prix as the top driver in Formula One.

Lewis Hamilton has been the one making the headlines in the McLaren - Mercedes camp following the consistent finishes the rookie has been making at this point of the 2007 F1 season.

Of course, two-time defending F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, the one who was suppose to be the man in McLaren - Mercedes making all those headlines, doesn't like this Lewis Hamilton era one bit. And he doesn't like his team's sudden fondness of his rookie teammate either.

After we saw McLaren - Mercedes boss Ron Dennis order Lewis Hamilton to back off and let Fernando Alonso take the win in Monaco, the irritated Spanish champion is now saying that the McLaren - Mercedes team favors his rookie teammate more and that he has been uncomfortable at the team since he joined.

Talk about one ungrateful sonuvabitch.

Fernando Alonso, with the sudden emergence of the young Lewis Hamilton, has been under pressure to outperform his McLaren - Mercedes teammate. Especially with Lewis Hamilton being a mere rookie.

We're only six races into the 2007 F1 season and with the way Lewis Hamilton has been driving as of late, the pressure on Fernando Alonso will unfortunately get greater and greater.

Lewis Hamilton leads the 2007 drivers championship standings with 48 points while Fernando Alonso is in second place with 40. Not far behind are the two Ferrari drivers with Felipe Massa scoring 33 points in third and Kimi Raikkonen in fourth with 27 championship points.
