You’re a sad man. In need of a life...

With all due respect of course.

Oh the irony. The second most prolific poster on this thread insults the OP for his contributions to the topic.

You are just jealous that some of Jim's posts have a semblance of truth to them and are left with no alternative to resort to name calling.

Are you being serious?

That is a serious question.

Are you seriously asking this??

What is so hard to understand??

1. Lewis posts a very stupid clip on social media making a fool of his nephew.

2. The World reacts and he receives lots or abuse for his comments.

3. He then starts to try and retract his stupid comment.

4. Then decides to delete his personal social media pages.

5. Comes back to social media a few weeks later

6. Turns up in Disney Land to buy his nephew a dress so that he can be seen in public to try and stop the anger from people offended by his comments.

So yes his social media page did light up for being blo*** stupid.

Two short planks spring to mind

I don’t necessarily think that everything Jim says is entirely wrong; just that he cares too much.

I think he’s a sad indisvidual to be so hung up on a racing drivers exploits ‘off’ track. It’s that simple... and that’s not the only thing simple around here

Absolutely! If this 192 page thread proves nothing else, it demonstrates that people (myself included) care "too much" about Lewis and his antics. A similar thread was started for Max, although that didn't get off the ground, despite him being the more exciting racer. I mean, surely PH is only interested in the racing, so why did that thread end after only a few pages? Would you expect this thread to be so long if Lewis wasn't such a diva?

Lewis has undoubtedly mastered the art of social media and self-promotion, but that has a tendency to alienate as many fans as it attracts. Some can look past his Twitter account and hair implants because he performs on track, whereas others see that he has had the best car for the last four years and lost to an overrated, middle-bench teammate during that time. Who is wrong?

I for one, find Lewis' social media to be gauche and his race-craft to have been well hidden of late, due in large part to his pole to flag victories with a superior car, but I have never disputed his skill. To be fair, I am not sure anybody on this thread has disputed Lewis' skill (other than that Tommunster lunatic) and his detractors have only ever criticized his personality, which is not entirely unjustified IMO.

I think something that we can all get behind is the hope that Ferrari, Red Bull and McLaren get their act together this year and allow some close racing with the most competitive field in years.

I don't think Lewis would be that crazy

What team wouldn't want to sign him, McLaren are no different in that respect to anyone else; it is a bit of a non story TBF.

Lean times for Motorsport news.

I have seen another source suggest that Hamilton might do ‘seven more years’ at Mercedes based on a throwaway remark Toto made on an entirely unrelated topic.

[LDN]

I’d like to see Hamilton break every record; including the WDC count... and then retire. But I think he may retire before that comes around.

Who knows?!

I think he has an outside shot at the greatest number of race victories if Merc stays top of the tree or at least fully competitive.


7 titles? That seems unlikely to me. It must be remembered that Shuey, great as he undoubtedly was, nonetheless managed to create for himself a set of favourable circumstances not seen before or since. I can't really see that happening again, to quite the same extent, and it certainly does not appear to be something Lewis would enjoy or has ever asked for.

Agreed. 100%

Rosberg's feelings about the 2018 season

Rosberg = irrelevant

[Some Gump]

Brilliant. I can only assume that he's finally accepted that he's shi t at trying to be andre3000, and has now moved on to trying to be snoop dogg.

I wish he could just be himself, he might not look so bloody awkward then.

I would think his opinion is significantly more relevant than yours.

In any case all he’s saying is what we all know; on the assumption that Mercedes still have the significantly better car/engine package Hamilton will likely beat Vettel. Bottas will do as he’s told and the Redbulls will do their best with a relatively weak power unit and pick up wins where power isn’t the deciding factor.

Maybe..........

I think Lewis has forgotten how to be himself.

Great to know that you two know who he is better than he does
you should call him up and let him know
