Hamiltons donuts :)

[Adrian Gumball]

Hi All,

I know its a small thing, just thought it deserved a mention.

It was excellent to see Hamilton doing some after the race for the fans- knowing fine well he will be (if imposed) fined for doing them.

A good touch, and gains kudos from me.

seemed like a sad attempt to get some attention on himself

winners do donuts for fun, he shoulda done them last year.

[Marcia]

He is the world champion? Why do you think he would need to do this for attention? I thought it was a great gesture and the crowd loved it.

[IanMorewood]

I thought he was just having difficulty keeping it going in a straight line again?

Because it's Jenson is in the papers every day.

It's a sport, it's a business, it's entertainment. He is a product the same as all of them. His value is diminishing as he wont be world champ for long as his car is not working. He's gotta keep his face and name out there and a pussycat doll (rarrrr) and some donuts are gonna help surely?

Donuts for being at the back of the pack? Come on it's the winners who do it to celebrate. But not in F1 cos they get fined etc.

Oh FFS! The guy can't doing anything right with all your pent-up hate and bitterness, can he?!

He didn't need to do anything to get attention other than what earned it in the first place - entertaining us. (Biggest spontaneous roar of the weekend was when he took Alonso). He was doing it for the crowd, still supporting him even though he is now in crap car. LH knows what fandom is all about now, as he implied at the GP party.

Anyway for your information, Button was doing rolling burnouts the first few times he entered the pitlane on Friday, which was also a bit of show-boating and having fun for the crowd. Or was that just for disapproving attention as well?

[Adrian Gumball]

Dont feed the troll.

If the FOTA breakaway does go-ahead donuts and burnout celebrations for the fans should be manditory!

[mattikake]

So anyway, it definitely wasn't in the stadium section where we were, so anyone get any footage?

Don't feed him doughnuts anyway.

[Conian]

hey screw you troll-accusators (is that a word?)

It's not trolling it's my opinion and though you dont agree why not debate it as did Wanta996.

I have no bitterness or hatred at all, but it makes you seem so much holier and correct if you accuse others of such things does it?

I've never hidden my stance on Lewis, I dont like his off track persona but i feel he will come good in time. It was much the same with Coulthard, my view of him was very poor when he was in a Williams but when he was in Red Bull he was a different person and very likable.

I'm sorry that someone disagreeing with you causes you to behave this way.

[Conian]

ps. the FOTA compulsary donuts comment, i agree

[odyssey2200]

I thought the Donuts were all part of the drivers entertaining the crowd,

My biggest concern was that some anal tt in the FIA might say it was a :nene: and fine him ot the team or doing it.

I think more drivers should do it!

It was at Club, right in front of where I was sat! It appeared a nice gesture from Lewis to the fans, he pulled in to the tarmac run off in front of the stands with a wave and then did his donut

Although do-nuts are entertaining they don't do the car any good, and as engines and gearboxes are a limited resource they could be seen as reckless, especially if it lead to a 10 of 5 place grid penalty for the next race, suppose when your starting 18th it doesn't really matter.
