Lewis Hamilton
Discussion
Alonso wasn't racing Lewis that's why, at the time of Lewis catching him Alonso was in a battle of his own with Massa and couldn't afford to drop away from him having a pointless battle with Lewis.
Just from memory Max didn't make it easy for Lewis, nor did Perez or Stroll, I believe Kimi took a few defensive lines as well until Lewis' tyres gave in, I'm sure there could be more too

Don't forget - new race lap record - with a crappy Renault engine. Nah ! He's Dutch...
Ah yes a crappy Renault engine that kept up with the Ferrari, and a lap record on fresh rubber less than 10 laps from the end of the race :-p

Verstappen 316.4 kph
Why is this thread constantly being hijacked by talk of race and skin colour?
How about we go for this instead:

What do Schumacher, Hamilton, Prost, Vettel and Senna have in common?
They’re all successful on the track and have/ had lots of money.
Let’s face it, success tends to irk people and polorise opinions. People used to hate Prost, call Senna dangerous....remember that Schumacher bloke that used to cheat, and Vettel with that stupid finger for 4 years.
If the internet was around in the 1950s I guess Fangio would be an utter
muffin and didn’t deserve 5 championships because when his car broke down, his team mates had to give up theirs so he could win....not even barichello did that for Schumacher ;-p
Possibly the best post in the history of the F1 sub-forum!They’re all successful on the track and have/ had lots of money.

Many of our national sporting heroes are black, mixed race or non white.
Just look at the poster girl for the UK Olympics, Jessica Ennis Hill, the daughter of a black Jamaican man and white English mother. The poster boy was Tom Daley, a young gay man, one of our most supported stars, Mohamed Farah, a black Somali immigrant Muslim man.
The UK public don't have any problem taking sports stars to their heart if they happen to be non white (or gay or of any religion), i could list hundreds but you can use google i am sure.
UK public voted the sportsman of the 20th century as one Mohamed Ali, a Black man.
The UK is one of the most inclusive countries in the world and i find it annoying when i see rubbish like your post. The fact Lewis is not white is not relevant to how he is perceived, apart from such a small minority of people they are a statistical irrelevance.
The ones you name are to a degree fringe interms of actual size and achievements. He's a world champion. Not athletics.Just look at the poster girl for the UK Olympics, Jessica Ennis Hill, the daughter of a black Jamaican man and white English mother.

You're going to have to help me out here: what do you mean by "fringe"?
Athletics and running. About as exciting as dish water. Europa1 said:
Got you. Because you personally don't find athletics exciting, the achievement of winning 2 gold metals in long distance events, not once but twice, at the Olympics, or winning gold at one Olympics in your home country in a multi-discipline event, is "fringe", whereas the achievements of a bloke who drives a car in a sport with a smaller worldwide audience are more significant.
How often is the Olympics? It's going to have a sizeable one-off viewing figure if it's every four years. Gassing Station | Formula 1 | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
