Black Hamilton, the legend

What does Lewis Hamilton have that Narain Karthikeyan did not? Arm-chair experts in my employ assure me it is the car and the team. McLaren is streets ahead of Jordan. It is also coming from a nation with a great history of motor racing – Britain. I’ve covered the kart circuit in India and can tell you the enthusiasm is there, the tradition and technology is not. It’s a miracle Narain got where he did. But, Hamilton has zoomed to the top of one the last bastions of ‘white man sports’ And for that, he is already a legend.
