The very things people are complaining about (being a young, cocky, hotshot) are exactly the same traits ALL successful pro racecar drivers have. I can understand a fan of birdwatching to be bothered by that, but a fan of auto racing ought to be really used to it by now.
With all due respect there is a huge difference in the media attention (preference) that LH gets, compared to the other drivers. He was overhyped as the next uberwundersuperkid and this hype created by the media is imho the larger culprit for the 'anti-LH' phenomenon than what the person Lewis is.

Any excess is stupid, whether that is the 'anti-Hamilton bandwagon' or labeling any person whose opinions that differ from yours as a "fan of birdwatching"...

Luweezy Snivley said She had great strategy for France.
Yes CHOCK in quali
pass illegally and get a 10 sec drive thru
get schooled by Piquet
finiksh 10th

AMAZING strategy for the snivley british sassy wench

I hate that piece of crap cause she has not done 1 thing to warrant her shiity attitude.

FA was never cocky but he won 2 WDC
KR is a drunk but never said..well anything but monosylibic..he has 1 WDC
The chin had a big chin, and goose stepped after genetically being made in a lab, by Menghele. he won 7 WDC

what do the above have that the piece of crap sassy british wench doesnt have???

They EARNED the right to be cocky, all she did was chock chickens, cry, say she was treated anti racially, and brag she is great.

IF and I will bet a LOT of money she will never win WDC she will still brag she is great.

FA KR MS I dont like any of them, but they earned respect, what has Luweezy Snivley done??
Banging JV's ex in a lezbo affair and associating with puddle dip diddly do not warrant respect

I'll admit to being a Hamilton fan. At least until recently I felt he was soft-spoken, a team player, and a phenomenal driver. Does he sometimes make forehead-slapping "D'oh!" errors? Oh yes. And maybe he is getting a touch of arrogance to go with his F1 experience.

But to even suggest he can't pass means someone hasn't been watching these races. The "can't pass" moniker belonged to Massa in the past, though he sure pulled a stunner (that two-car move) last race.

Is Honda going to just roll over for the rest of the season?! And what is up with Quick Nick this weekend?

Good LORD Ferrari....


A lot can be said for Kimi and Felipe, but those two cars were in a league of there own. The fact that Kimi was able to open up so much of a lead in the first half that he drove with a 1+ second/lap handicap in the second half and STILL finished with a ~10 second gap to 3rd is incredible.

Forza Ferrari... Bravo!



LH??? ouch.........

too bad for KR. if his car had no problems, then he would have been the victor. at least he has gained some points after not scoring in both monaco and canada
