70%?!

It's more like 95%!

Now lets get back to LH wanting to set an example for the kids!!! That made me laugh out loud but it now shows the mind games have begun with LH out to an early lead.

I'd say he had been gifted an early lead due to Seb's tantrum.

Some of the comments on this thread are embarrassing, absolutely reeks of 'an old boys club'.

I've seen a few say it already, he's one of the best sportsmen in Britain and gets berated for his clothes and lifestyle, shouldn't we be celebrating his achievements and getting behind him, it seems the nation loves to hate success for whatever reason.

In fact being 25 myself I find him more in touch with my generation which is surely a good way to bring in new, younger fans which this sport desperately needs?

Glad he doesn't take on board all the negativity and hope he continues to win championships for years to come!

I'm afraid PH is 70% old boys club... you get used to it... and even manage a few giggles at their expense.

You're effectively reading the inane ramblings of a bunch of out-of-touch, middle-aged, middle-class blokes. Is it really any surprise that they don't like something which is so very different from their comfortable little world?

Some have just been congratulating themselves for their right-on-ness in trying to shame someone for making an assumption about black people but are then quite happy to assume everyone over a certain age shares the same opinions.

Self righteous hypocrites.

Nice angle. Didn't see that one coming.
The difference is that we've got 75pgs of out-of-touch blokes telling us how much they despise Hamilton's lifestyle/persona. That's reasonably strong evidence, for mine...

I'm firmly in the old bloke category yet you can see from my posts on this thread and others that I've been defending Hamilton against all comers.

But as I'm old I must be racist apparently.

I don't know what to think - please help me out, oh great smug ones !!

You can't see that's it was a I'll conceived comment at best?

They will never explain.

All they do is attack.

Very sad that they allow their hatred to cloud their judgement.

Point being, that a lot of people on here have incorrectly assumed his heritage?

This should be on the spellllllling police thread.

Another old duffer here who's also a big fan, both on and off the track.
His dress sense & life style? Good for him & as mentioned above, it appeals to those of his generation
He makes me think of Hunt.

I wonder if he will be F1's last global superstar, known to both racing fans and the general public, now that F1 is turning into pay-to-view.

I'm another older duffer who also has the same view. I also think he is the best possible 'brand ambassador' F1 could have right now with his crossover into the music scene.

[garylythgoe]

Agree with the above.

He's like Hunt, we need more like that, and less robots.
