Lewis May Quit
Discussion
well ok lewis, but where else are you going to earn that kind of money with your skills. He's just young. Boomin quick but with some off track skills to learn probably. 
He's going to say things like that in the heat of the moment, but it doesnt mean he's off to the IRL any time soon!
For all we know it could even be Lewis using the media to try and hint to the powers that be (who would all lose out massively if he were to depart) that its something that may cross his mind if the championships are constantly "fettled" to keep things close and therefore hope to sway them not to take the decision against him.

Bit of a knee jerk reaction methinks! I'm sure he will still be racing next year though he may be right to feel victimised when Vettel says things like "I was looking across at Lewis to see if he was slowing to retire and when I looked back I was already up the rear end of Marks car". He wasn't even looking where he was going! IMHO and I know its mentioned on other threads but surely under those conditions its the individual responsability of the drivers to be aware and look where they're going (it tends to work on the roads for me 
)

have you never said to a boss something like " the work i am doing is not what i came here to do" when you really wanted to say "i'm not the f*****g tea boy"!?!?!?
its more like an indirect plea for the FIA to sort the current mess out rather than a toy/pram alonso-esque comment.

I reckon you're pretty bang on there. Lewis is no fool.pablo said:
i rather think hamiltons quote should be interpreted as " i want to race cars not get invovled in politics", he cant exactly come out and say "cut the bullshit max and let us race like men" can he!?!?!
I and I'd say a good few people would respect him a lot more if he did Edited by patmahe on Friday 5th October 13:48

He did nothing wrong last weekend..only what any other leading driver would do, which is enough to get himself a 'jump' on the following drivers at the re-start.
I'm sure Ron will calm the situation and we can all enjoy and good race this weekend.
did nothing wrong? well he broke no laws, but some laws should be obvious ie stop starting is crap, but yes he did do what any other top driver would do.I'm sure Ron will calm the situation and we can all enjoy and good race this weekend.
that is the future risk so the fia need a directive, ie once you build speed (corners allowing) you dont reduce it again

What's he going to do? Go and work at KFC?
Utter b0llocks.
he's already a multi-millionaire from all his sponsers!Utter b0llocks.
Tag heur watches for a start payed him millions, and if he became world champion at the end of the season, even if he did leave the sport, everyone would still want him to advertise the're products, because of what he will have achieved: being the first ever rookie to win the world championship!
so i don't think he will be applying for that job at KFC just yet!

People saying he should be thankful he's in F1 clearly don't it (or anything at all I wonder?). F1 should be thankful it still attracts people of his talent, what with all it's power-trip bickering! It's this, "this is the way it is and you can like it or lump it" attitude that is the EXACT reason why F1 gets all high and mighty and suffers all the corruption it does. Morons like this displaying their brainpower on a public forum really doesn't help... though some of us do find it highly amusing...
Don't hate a guy for being better than you want him to be. Hate him for a REAL reason.

Why? Need some company do you? Utter b0llocks.
Personally I wouldn't stop laughing for years if LH won the WDC and then turned round and said "this sport is sh!t. I'm off". Just for the look on BE's and MM's faces.
Another "be thankful you're here" and "do as we say, but not as we do" type? Wrong attitude. I don't know how anyone like that can imply they're an F1 'fan' when you miss clear and obvious comments and replace with far to much emotion . And I love it even more when these types claim LH is over-reacting, claim it's childish, then go stoop to same level they claim is so wrong themselves! lol class.

F1 at present never ceases to amaze me. The last time it had a dicktator like this at the helm (spelling is correct, by the way ) he was ousted as no one wanted to take his shit any more.
I'm surprised all of the teams haven't revolted on him yet, with his incredible bias towards Ferrari alone.
