It was never rocket science predicting that Lewis Hamilton would win a Grand Prix – not after that sensational first corner in Melbourne on his debut in 2007 when the first person he overtook in F1 was his team mate Fernando Alonso… Nor after six podiums in his first six races and, there in Canada, his first pole position.
