When did Hamilton loose the wdc because someone 'got into his head' ?
Mercedes stepped in to make sure.How many times have Mercedes had to make sure Lewis is happy. His mind set when things are not 100% going his way is very poor.
Mark my words if things get fruity with Vettel and Hamilton this season it will show up again.

Has Lewis ever let another driver past him when asked by the team?
I know that Rosberg and Bottas have done it, when asked by Merc. Lewis has referred to both as a 'Gentleman' for doing so but I don't remember him doing it, and I'm sure he's been asked.
Hamilton stated that Rosberg should have closed in on him before he was prepared to move over.I know that Rosberg and Bottas have done it, when asked by Merc. Lewis has referred to both as a 'Gentleman' for doing so but I don't remember him doing it, and I'm sure he's been asked.
Rosberg at the time said that closing on Hamilton would have wrecked his tyres.
Both Bottas and Rosberg did slow down and let Hamilton past but clearly this is not in Hamilton's remit.

Hamilton on Indy Car drivers

After watching the whole race for the first time I have more respect for any driver deciding to race at Indy.

Do you think Lewis would go there & clean up? The devil is in the detail Sato has spent a long time out there learning how to get the best from his car (he'd been doing well on the street circuits) on the Ovals.
I think anyone of Alonso or Hamilton's calibre could do well out there. Mansell won it at his first attempt (the championship not Indy) and was surprisingly good on the ovals.I would like to see Lewis and Alonso do it for a couple of seasons together.... it would certainly get the rest of the world watching!

He won the Cart series a very different thing to what they drive now as well as the depth of drivers they now have, in F1 Sato was quick in the equipment he had but he's not come close to winning a championship in Indycars.
Now I'm not saying Sato is as good as Lewis/Fernando but I don't think they'd win a championship in their rookie season
Yes, but bear in mind Lewis almost won the F1 WDC in his rookie year and I am sure Alonso might have done likewise had he had the equipment. These are two of the best there have ever been. I wouldn't bet against one of them taking the championship at their first attempt if things fell into place.Now I'm not saying Sato is as good as Lewis/Fernando but I don't think they'd win a championship in their rookie season

To be fair when 30 odd of them can't beat Sato and Chilton was close to winning, he might have a point...
LOL.Honestly???
You really think Sato and Chilton were not good drivers?
Anyone who thinks the Indy 500 is easy should do an Alonso and give it a go.
Not many in F1 would put their legacy on the line and give it a go.

Now Lewis to Indy for a year I would like to see.
It does seem that the older racers can remain competitive (?) so he has 10 years to consider it?
The reason the older drivers can still race is due to the less G Forces.It does seem that the older racers can remain competitive (?) so he has 10 years to consider it?
But travelling at 230 mph however fit you are takes huge bouncy balls.
Totally different to F1.
Paraphrased from a leading accountancy firm:
"Monaco residents are not subject to tax on their worldwide income. Some countries will insist that Monaco residents pay tax in that Country, should the majority of their earnings originate there. However, residents working sporadically or all over the world can avoid paying it altogether."
I have no idea who pays what tax and even less interest. Tax avoidance is there for us all to take in one form or another.

Lewis stating Bottas should get a long term Mercedes deal.
That would suit Hamilton "sorry Bottas"

Lewis is actually fine when things are going great for him. His interviews and hole persona improves.
It is the times when things are not going for him which I fine hard to watch. Yes no driver wants to have a bad race of season but it is in these moments when Lewis becomes hard to like.
Can you imagine if Lewis had been in the McLaren Honda the last two years.

"I noticed some white people in the crowd... you're white, I guess they're here for you, what do you think about that? what do you want to say to them?"
PC gone mad it is not.
There is nothing to think about. They were Hamilton fans who were from Jamaica. PC gone mad it is not.
Paranoia now makes sense.

My wife's from the far East. If I overheard someone say 'you must know them' i'd be upset. If my wife was a public person at an event and a presenter asked if her friends had come I'd be quite strong in my response.
Why is it hard for some people to understand somethings arent on or is 'public property' mean casual or overtly open racism fine?
Are some people on PH real or children
If you think Herbert is a racist then you clearly need to see someone for some help.Why is it hard for some people to understand somethings arent on or is 'public property' mean casual or overtly open racism fine?

The guy is a Sky TV Hamilton fan.

How do you know they were from jamacia ?
how do you know there were there specifically for hamilton ?
are you saying Jamaicans can only be interested if they support hamilton ?
there are alot of casually racist assumptions flying about there
1. You clearly heard it being mentioned that they were from Jamaica.how do you know there were there specifically for hamilton ?
are you saying Jamaicans can only be interested if they support hamilton ?
there are alot of casually racist assumptions flying about there
2. Clearly they stated they were Hamilton supporters or were waving Hamilton flags or banners. It is not hard to work out who someone supports.
3. Only Jamaica's can be interested in Hamilton. What just because he is black? Again just trying to make something out of nothing.
You are the one trying to twist words and quotes into someone else.
Pathetic.
Cold said:
Depends. If they have Vettle written on their flags, foreheads and t-shirts I'd probably make a different guess where their focus might be. I could be wrong of course and just a complete Alf Garnett racist thinking that they like the German and they're actually looking forward to seeing Massa.
However, the group Herbert was on about are known to Hamilton - although not close personal friends, they appeared to be a collection of fans Hamilton recognises from their continued travelling support.
f
k me there are some people desperately trying to be offended on here.
