Impressively quick. A genius at work. Notice the laid back style of driving. Suspect he'll come top when it's dry. Git!

I am slightly disappointed that he prefers driving around with '24" rims'. frown

And from the BBC news website "Formula One star Lewis Hamilton swapped his multi-million pound, 230mph McLaren to drive a modest family car for BBC Two's Top Gear show on Sunday.
Hamilton got behind the wheel of a Suzuki Liana and took on Top Gear's resident driver The Stig."

Appears that they are incapable of even researching their own shows!

No, the Suzuki Liana was the old car, they now use a Chevy shed.

Watch it again. And you'll see they use the Liana because thats what all teh F1 drivers have used. It appears you cant even research your own comments! wink

So the Stig is lots of people?

As his height changes all the time from Short when he started to medium to large, and everything in between.

Perry McCarthy mentions in his book that he was the original Stig, but got one of his mates to step in when he had a prior engagement, cant remember if it was Julian Bailey or Mark Blundell that stood in, will have to dig the book out again.

She is a Total SLAPPER and from where she come from, popping them out at 15 is very common

Stuff giving him a break, unless we see him with some proper fit babes of his own age (not some sad old crazy boiler). They don't come more SCREWED UP.

Yep good drive though.

what is wrong with you? hamilton goes from being a granny loving freak to a driving god in 24 hours?!?! does it matter who he is dating? Lewis could date my mother and i would still support him! you need to put Heat magazine away and be grateful for the fact that Britain (no, actually ENGLAND!wink) has a sportsman who is humble, proud and talented. he came accross as a nice bloke on that interview, a bright young guy with his head screwed on, so a magazine links him with a supermodel?!? damn i would be framing the heradlines if it were me! can you think of a more deserving sportsman for our support?!?

as for the comment about 24" rims, i loved it, why should he let his day job get in the way of some fun with his friends?...

Yep seems like a totally cool guy.

But hanging around with rough old slappers old enough to be his mother (obvious gold diggers - she alway has been) is just not right - christ he can do better - MUCH.

As for being grateful for the fact that Britain has him in F1 and he is doing Great. Well ya Great - but I do not care what nationality he is if he is a Great (as in Entertaining / Go for it type Driver) then Good, but the I could not care about the British thing. I support any cool / aggressive / entertaining driver regardless of there nationalitywink. Mind you as he is British at least we have something to cheer about over and above any stupid team games this country has a pop at.....
