Hamiltoon is facing quite a bit of criticism right now. I really wouldn't use him as a example. F1 is in a tailspin at the moment. Even the future of F1 is in question.
JPM didn't suck in F1. Where the hell did you come up with that? He is considered in the top 30 of F1 drivers of all-time.

Been to 4 races here in Texas too. I understand oval tracks quite well. I don't knock NASCAR drivers. They are good drivers but as a whole F1 drivers are better. To make it through a long race with 40 other cars is an accomplishment. That being said there are some drivers in NASCAR that could make the jump to F1 with no problem. Jeff Gordon could do it and they have actually tried to get him to drive in the series to pique American interest but he turned it down. I think Tony Stewart, Jimmy Johnson, and maybe a few other drivers (haven't followed NASCAR for the last 3 years) could definitely make the jump as well.
Hamilton is facing criticism for lying to race directors which he was told to do by his team. I would still hold him up as an example. He's driving a sub-par car this year and really outshining his teammate.
JPM did suck IMO (should have clarified earlier I'm a huge ferrari fan so anyone who doesn't drive one sucks to me). He won 7 races in his entire career but he was better than many of the other drivers. He only had one season where he competed for the championship (2003). He was far from a great racer but wasn't a poor one.
