High quality first post. 
Oh come on, it is quite funny! Its laughing 'with' Hamilton, saying that he should be the champion because he is more than good enough, but things keep going wrong for him.Certainly funnier than posting a Ferrari with 'New FIA company car' written underneath.
'driving like kovalainen for the entirety of the race' is the best bit

Eh? Is there some etiquette I am meant to follow?Istm that the piece you posted, of which I trust you were not the author, is at the humour-level of a 12 year-old. Certainly someone of that age could have written it. This would have been the case whether the target was the easy one, Hamilton, or a less obvious one such as Raikkonen or Coulthard. I thought it odd for someone to choose that piece to introduce himself to PH.
Lately on GM we've had quite a few silly comments made about a number of drivers. These comments have degraded the quality of discussion, and eventually become annoying. Perhaps you're unaware of this history. I did not think that beginning one's participation on PH with a like post was the best way of starting off.
Cheers.

I wasn't aiming to introduce myself as such, I've been a lurker here for some time and just thought others might appreciate the joke.
I appreciated the joke but I understand Flemke's sentiment (and no I'm not being nice in case he invites me out for a run in the F1) there have been a lot of threads on here that have gone down the road of slanging matches mainly due to poor football chant style reactions of some posters.
PH in general has became a sort of keyboard warrior fightclub and in my short time here it has started to spread from the main forums GG and P&P into the more niche forums especially following LH's sucess.
PS welcome to PH.

I agree, and was about to post something similar.PH in general has became a sort of keyboard warrior fightclub and in my short time here it has started to spread from the main forums GG and P&P into the more niche forums especially following LH's sucess.

It made me laugh, and the thread hasn't (so far) descended into playground red-v-silver name-calling.
As someone else said, it's the sort of thing you might see on sniffpetrol - a site which seems to be generally appreciated in these parts.

Ok point taken, feels very tense in here which wasn't my intention.
Please do not feel tense, or anything else that is negative (except perhaps for asking yourself whether it was wise to participate in a forum that is frequented by such lunatics and Tom and me).As long as you realise that Max Mosley is the Devil incarnate and Ferrari are his spawn, you'll fit in fine.
Cheers.

Flemke, come on. Lighten up a little fella.
I'm sure that none of us want to see GM turn into the P&P, but a bit of light heartened banter every now and again wouldn't be taking things too far now would it?
May I just make a general comment that often on tv I hear so-called "comedians" whose total wit seems to comprise shouting out otherwise totally dull, meaningless remarks, but when punctuated with the word "5hit" or "fI'm sure that none of us want to see GM turn into the P&P, but a bit of light heartened banter every now and again wouldn't be taking things too far now would it?
k", they seem to think that they're hilarious, and some of the audience actually appear to laugh?I know that in Britain currently there is a ton of humour at the 12 year-old level, and that almost all of it is used by and intended for people whose chronological age is much greater than 12. This is perhaps my failing, but I find it tedious.
Kids' cartoons are often funny, because there is often some genuine wit and creativity in them. Stuff like "Hamilton, 16,..." is just weak.
Anyhow, no offence intended to the Grumpy One.
