*** The official Formula One 2015-16 off season thread ***

[Leroy902]

It's an endless cycle, Lewis doesn't help himself by doing stupid st, and there's a load of wolves on this forum that just wait for it so they can come on these threads and bh about it...

I dread to think what they will do once he's retired!?...
I do wish he'd stop giving them ammunition.
I think F1 threads would be far more pleasant to read through.

Its pretty boring to be honest.

This.

I would consider myself to be a Hamilton fan, but I don't get the he can't do anything right from the haters or the he can't do anything wrong by the lovers.

Yes, taking a selfie on a motorbike was not the brightest move ever. But, in other news, the sun still went down at the end of the day, and came up again the following day. In the real world it means f**k all.

Who's this 'we' you're talking about? I can't think of a single person - well, other than you, obviously - who DOESN'T think of Hamilton as a 3 times world champion.

We all. As in everybody. HTH.

So everybody, according to you, somehow fails to think of Hamilton as a 3x WDC?

Mental.

Ok comprehension clearly not your thing. If you are doubting my existence as part of everybody, I'm not sure who has the bigger issue. Me because I might not exist, which makes this weird. Or you reading it and thinking I don't exist.

People on PH are a group. A collective. A member of that group might refer to "we" when including everybody in a comment. I.e. "We all post on PH".

Now take that concept and apply it to my statement in context.

If we polarise this down to 2 camps (as you clearly want to do. Love or hate, no in-between). Then it's conceivable that when we hear about Lewis Hamilton we don't all immediately think "oh 3 times world champion Lewis Hamilton". That some people on PH might think immediately think "wannabe fake gangsta, instagram muppet, Lewis Hamilton" then consider his driving exploits later. Now if he'd never decided to broadcast his life online, the 2nd option wouldn't exist, and we'd all be thinking of him as "3 times world champion Lewis Hamilton" because that's all we'd know about him.

You should have been able to get there on your own. It was not a complex concept.

Hi Everyone,

This thread has now been closed for 3 reasons:

1) The OP requested it
2) It is no longer the F1 off season (Hooray, can't wait for the first race!!)
3) This thread has descended into an endless bickering match... which is why the OP requested that it be closed.

Enjoy the season everyone, regardless of if you're a Hamilton fan or not I suspect he's going to be hard to beat!
