Wow there are some different comments on here! I wonder if maybe a lot of people on here are primary school kids logging on in computer studies!?!

All world championship winning drivers are fantastic ESPECIALLY if they are British!! This is a fantastic time for our country in motorsport. Enjoy it and stop slagging of hugely successful sportsman.

As for Brazil 07, well that one wasn't so clear, car malfunction or lewis hitting a button he shouldn't have, don't know. If it was Lewis hitting a wrong button well thats forgiveable seeing as he was a rookie.

Dont bring this up again. The official F1 video had telemetry on. It showed along the straight with no hand movements the gearbox jumping to N. Lewis then flicked down the gears then up a couple then down to 1 and got going. Simple as that an unfortunate gearbox fault.

Cant wait for Lewis to hopefully start with a competative car next year :-)

'If I make it through a whole GP without falling into a boredom induced coma, then yes, if not then no.'

So why bother then. if it is of that little interest to you.

I take it you were in a coma during the Brazilian GP by the comments you have made, and most of the rest of the season to.

I think he's blinded by his crush on Alonso. A bit like the scene out of little britain with the prime minister and sebastien. Even Alonso thinks the two people to most respect on the track are hamilton and vettel but Tsawus thinks Lewis is a load of pap. Tsawus has lost it!

It's not all about what you do it's as much about how you do it. Sir Sterling Moss is rightly regarded as one of the all time greats

If you're going to quote the great man's name, at least have the decency to spell it correctly FFS.

Is that better?

1. You can only come out with a statement like that if you know nothing at all about the sport, which is why you can't work it out.

You can only come up with a statement like that if you are a cluless Mclaren / Hamilton fanboy

Except i'm not, i'm a 51 yr old bloke who's been following the sport closely for over 30 years, and who is definitely not a fan of Mclaren.

Tyranosawus said:

It's not rubbish it's fact. I don't "hate" him I just don't like him. The descision to put him in the primo car / team was not made due to any assesments of his talents

And so far that is easily the most stupid, stupid, stupid thing i've read about Hamilton so far. That is a breathtakingly stupid thing to say, what you say is fact is actually a statement that shows, as we know, that you simply nothing about f1 at all, nothing at all. I don't know what comics you've been reading or what games you play but seriously, you know nothing. Please do us the courtesy of learning something about the sport before joining in on forums like this.

And also, i would humbly suggest there are other forums which would be better suited to yourself and those into the fanboy/celebrity side of the scene, where you can talk to others who also decide they like/dislike people they've never met.

Unfortunately, I've known of Lewis since he was 9 years old (karting stuff). I've never rated him all that highly, Frazer Sheader was better IMO. The whole sponsorship in motorsport thing is a rum deal in my book, it's a load of old bks all started by Gold leaf / Lotus.

Right, ok, i think we know where we are now, and i'm now starting to understand where your abs braking and using the rev limiter as engine comments on the other thread have come from.

Martin Hines was perfectly free to recommend to Ron Dennis whomever he liked. I see no reason, out of all the great kids that are always there in karting, including fraser Sheader and the other dozen or so that are always there, for him to recommend anyone he doesn't need to. Certainly Anthony Hamilton couldn't afford to persuade anybody.

Some of the stuff posted on here just gets wierder and wierder

I could not agree more. Absolutely bizarre. Barking.

(or was that entirely down to team favouritism?)

Got it one . Fernando was the reigning WDC. He, quite rightly, got the right royal hump with Mclaren over the preferential treatment bestowed upon the yellow hatted one. The rest, as they say, is history.

Yes of course they would. They would pay what it costs for the double wdc and then give preferential treatment to the untested rookie.

That makes loads of sense and explains clearly how McL came to be one of the most successful teams in the sport.

But you'd think the double wdc could beat a rookie with one arm tied behind his back anyway.

Tyranosawus said:

All very good points. F1 is tedious crap at the moment,

How many different winners this season? How many new winners? When was the last time a new team came to the sport and won? When was the last time the established teams failed to get a grip on the season? When was the last time a team like Force India could suddenly get to play with the big boys? When was the last time that the grids were so unpredictable?

Go on - when?

I can't be bothered sifting through that load of old manure properly. The only bit I vaguely glimpsed was something about judging someone I've never met. Well FYI I've met him several times and it's mainly on those that I base my judgement. I bet you haven't met him though, unless it was one of those staged media type events with a camera following his every move closely, which doesn't count.

So to summerise you've met the talent vacume that is Lewis Hamilton and he's a ?

No, i've never met him and i rarely judge anyone that i don't know well. I mean, how can you?

I take it you know him well then?

(I mean sure, i've been at kart tracks when he's been there, and Button and god knows how many other drivers of those generations, but i'm not counting that. I mean 'met' as in time spent in company).

Not exactly that's a bit too much paraphrasing . He's not a complete , I just don't rate him as highly as some people with obvious vested interests or blind sheepy fanboys do.

Vacuum, they will teach you that at school soon. Good to see you can spell though

So what parameters would you use to rate a driver then? It was interesting that at Brazil father and son were both saying that they're enjoying the experience of being at seasons end without the stress of fighting for a championship. I guess it's true, from the age of 7 when winning with radio controlled cars, to championships in every level of karting and at every level in cars, all from starting with no money.

You gotta be pretty good to do that, surely?

Let me guess you met lewis and he wasn't nice to you, did he not let you play with his toys? did you race him once and he handed you a can o' whoop ass? Boo hoo hoo

Well - he doesn't have a wdc dad, nor a rich family living in a nation of impoverished millions, nor a big family haulage company, etc .

In fairness though, most of the top drivers have come from no money. Lewis, Jenson, Kimi, Fred, Schumi, etc.

Certainly not enough money to buy a seat anywhere, not even enough to fund a high level of karting. They've all had to rely on talent.

Most of the kids in UK karting have plenty of dosh behind them. It's the kids who's dads have the biggest campers and its the kids who have the best paint jobs on their helmets.

Up until recently i knew of one junior who had £4ks worth of data logging on his kart, a driving coach on £1k a day, all on top of what they were paying the team that ran him. He won't be progressing any further though, 'cos money just can't make up for a lack of talent.

I don't have a problem with paying for drives really though, 'cos once you're in that drive then its up to you to keep it.

On a similar theme to the bottom clip and even if you don't like football this clip of Jimmy Bullard just creases me up! He's a funny guy...
