I never though I would be asking this question, but to be fair it's not an original thought. It comes from people whose opinions are far more significant than mine.
It first came to my notice when it was raised by David Tremayne in the admirable e-magazine GP+, which he and Joe Saward produce after each Grand Prix.
Perhaps more importantly, the original source of the thought was Nigel Roebuck, formally of Autosport and now of Motor Sport.

I thought back to Monza last year, and how Lewis crashed on the last lap whilst chasing the dominant Brawns," said Nigel. "That was pure Gilles. Third place meant nothing if there was a chance that he might be able to do better.

Now think of Lewis's driving so far this season. He has been in attack mode the whole time. This is from Tremayne:

Too often in the modern era drivers settle for points, ready to fight again if they don't have a winning car. Lewis has done that himself, especially in 2008. But every so often it's so uplifting to see someone hanging it out because to hell with any other approach, he just wants to squeeze out everything that he and his car have to give. It's a reminder of all that is good and, to use the new F1 word, 'excitating' (sic) about motor racing. You want to see someone who can make the car dance.

I don't think Lewis is going to win the title this season, but he is going to give his all and provide us with plenty of entertainment along the way.
