Looks like McLaren rookie driver Lewis Hamilton just created another rival in the 2007 F1 season

''F1's Golden Boy.'' He he... Nice.

That's how Mark Webber is describing Lewis Hamilton now since their ''accident'' that saw Webber retire in Japan this 2007 F1 season. Yep, the young British driver sure has a way of pissing people off eh?

Red Bull driver Mark Webber criticized Lewis Hamilton for the way he ''controlled'' the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji. Webber felt that Hamilton intentionally slowed down dramatically behind the safety car while the rain continued to pour down, decreasing the drivers' visibility of what's in front of them.

As expected, Mark Webber had more than a few words to say about Hamilton during the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix, singlehandedly enraging Hamilton's legion of fans in Britain.

''I got pretty much slaughtered by the British gutter press about what I said on Thursday in China in the FIA press conference, but I guess that's what happens when you say something negative about the golden boy,'' Mark Webber wrote in his website.

''The fact of the matter is that I said what I said because I thought he didn't do a great job behind the safety car,'' Webber continued.

''He could have done much better, in fact. And, to Lewis' credit, he came out and said exactly the same; first to me and then in public. It's easy to be wise after the event, and what he's said doesn't put me back in the race, but that's the way it goes sometimes. It's just disappointing that it was my race that was ended because of it.''

''It doesn't bother me what the press said about me, whining Webber and all that. Cowboys don't cry, I say, and I have some pretty thick skin. It's old news now, and those newspapers are already wrapping chips, so what difference does it really make?''

Sounds to me that Mark Webber will be out to ruin Hamilton's championship in Brazil for the final race of the 2007 F1 season.

Who will win the 2007 F1 championship? Bodog has the odds.

Kimi Raikkonen 7/4
