Back on topic. Not sure if its been mentioned previously in this thread, but has anyone else noticed a real difference in LH this season in interviews?
He seems so much more relaxed, personable, open and honest than he has done in all his previous years in F1..
Its made me warm to him more than I have before, its quite refreshing to see.
When C4 took over F1 Steve Jones had a great 1v1 interview with Lewis. It was great seeing Jones, who was criticized for lack of F1 knowledge, just focus on day to day generalities and seeing Lewis open up and just be a normal person rather than giving an "official" answer to an inane question about the sport.He seems so much more relaxed, personable, open and honest than he has done in all his previous years in F1..
Its made me warm to him more than I have before, its quite refreshing to see.

Probably because he's never had a lead like this at this stage of the season before? I'd be pretty relaxed if I had 2 retirements in hand.He seems so much more relaxed, personable, open and honest than he has done in all his previous years in F1..

You people are all in the WRONG thread, this one is an F1 thread.
Bugger off
I do agree, despite having polluted this (already slightly polluted) thread myself.Bugger off
On the other hand, people with strange ideas appear to have broken through the PH town walls and should be dealt with before this gets out of hand
I wouldn't worry too much. The next retort will be a demand that their opinions are respected, in spite of ignoring the logic or opposing viewpoints. That will pretty much nullify the debate and we can get back to discussing LH and whatever new ways people think he's not the best driver - despite repeatedly beating the other drivers in a competition specifically designed to work out who the best driver is
That's not always true, sometimes blind luck plays it's part too. But in Lewis's case, Lauda identified him as the driver for Mercedes when he and Toto agreed to move forwards together with Mercedes in F1. It was a direct result of the passion, skill and manner Lewis had demonstrated up to that point. They were setting up a dream team with an almost limitless budget to conquer the sport as never before, and they chose Lewis to deliver the goods.

However, it was the right decision for Mercedes to sign Lewis into the dominant car.The marketing has worked extremely well for them.
Good call from Lauda.

Jenson did well
The Brawn was only best car for half the season.The Red Bull was quick on a good day, but distinctly slipping into mid-field on bad days.
So whilst it's possible to say that the McLaren was 3rd or 4th best car in 2009, that really doesn't tell the story of the season and relative performance at all.
It was generally thought that Red Bull had the best car come the last third of the season, with McLaren within a whisker.

Errmm, Lewis wasn't exactly setting the world alight in the tier 2 McLaren from 2009.

Right...because Rubens car did nothing in the back end of the season... only 2 victory’s...
McLaren/Ferrari (1 point difference in WCC points). For 3/4th
He shouldn't have won the European GP - that was down to a McLaren mistake in the pits - Monza was a strange one, with Red Bull having one of their weird days where it just didn't come together for them.McLaren/Ferrari (1 point difference in WCC points). For 3/4th
Hungary onwards were incredibly random, no one team dominated the middle third of the season, until Red Bull managed to get everything to work and hang together for the last third.
The McLaren team made some astonishing gains mid-season, turning a complete dog of a car into one of the top contenders.

2 wins 5 podiums and 4 poles, (Jenson managed 9 podiums and won the WDC) , in what was 3/4th best car on the grid in 2009.
Still they both have a Championship under their belt.
Whereas Lewis has won multiple titles - so maybe he is a bit more special than them!

The irony here is that vegans / vegetarians often talk about clean eating. Quorn is must less 'clean' than a minced beef / lamb / pork / chicken / turkey. It's full of all kinds of weird additives in order to make it mimic meat.
Quorn isn't "healthy" by any means (that's such a nebulous term I hate using it but anyway), but meat is a defined carcinogen by WHO, and has been implicated in numerous GI conditions. "Chemicals" and "additives" isn't a bad word btw.
I'm vegetarian because I hate the taste of meat, I still eat meat substitutes occasionally when I feel like it, and am only able to do so because there is a distinct taste difference from meat. That said, I rarely eat meat substitutes because they just don't feel very healthy in my body, and its more of an occasional indulgence than anything.
A vegan or vegetarian who is eating a kilo of vegan burgers, and mock turkey or whatever everyday will have the same issues with hypertension, obesity, etc., as a meat eater eating a kilo of steak each day. Though presumably the former will be less prone to colon cancer, diverticulosis etc (though these conditions would be the least of their worries compared with the more common aforementioned diseases such as hypertn, etc)

Meat isn't - some meat products are and excess red meat probably.
Poultry definitely isn't and fish reduces the chances of cancer.
You're right that poultry hasn't been demonstrated to increase cancer risk, but there is very limited evidence that fish decreases the risk of cancer. What has been demonstrated for decades however is that certain types of salted fish increase the risk for nasopharyngeal cancer. Poultry definitely isn't and fish reduces the chances of cancer.
