I clearly stated in this thread and others that Hamilton was the donkey of the race. I also stated that the 10grid penalty was stiff but not unwarranted.

What I objected to was the visceral natureof the comments towards LH which didn't seem to be the same for Kimi when he ran into the back of sutil.

Not the same at all. Kimi fickkd up at speed on the most difficult circuit in the series. Lewis drove into the back of a parked car in the pit lane.

Rosberg's gotten his share on this thread. To be sure, he didn't spend the whole weekend fanning his tail, metaphorically speaking. That may have created the 'wound' that Lewis' less than contrite attitued after the incident 'rubbed salt into'.

But then they didn't pile into the back of a parked car either, did they?

I said, AMONGST OTHER REASONS that race plays a factor as well.

it is amazing how some on this forum cannot see the bias in their own comments. I think a good number of you out there feel so because LH is black plain and simple.

That's actully what you said. And more remarks later in the post which were equally unequivocal.

I point all this out because I think you are WAY off base and have insulted a number of very decent, non-racist people.

Lewis screwed up .
He talked cocky before the race , and gave a qualified apology when it all ended for him .

He talented , but he's got too many people around him telling him that constantly .
Or , maybe it's just one guy . Perhaps his dad being his manager is a little too close .
Whatever the reason , many here , certainly , read his reactions and comments as very arrogant .

Arrogance , if that's what it is , won't ever play well to the public , and will be seen as a sign of disrespect to the others in the championship .


He also screwed up by running into the back of Kimi .
Mind you , if there was someone to hit , Kimi was probably the best one to eliminate .
That said , I can't really see it as on purpose .

Truefan, IMO fans was as harsh to Kimi as they are to Lewis now, but if this is not the case - well, maybe Kimi is more likable ;)

Daniel, one of the things I have disliked most on these forums is this sort of name-calling. 'Cheat-macher' was pathetic and unamusing, and so is this one. You can do better.

They all pitted in the same time because of the safety car situation, so we have no idea who was carrying more fuel, absolutely no idea, but I wasn't expecting you to know this anyway. :p :

I've insulted nobody and as my comments were to those who saw fit to add a level of unecessary adjectives in describing hamilton. Numbnuts, blind man, idiot, boy, etc, etc, etc, and those who can't even accept the fact that he apologised to Kimi. Now some even, wnet on to say that the 10 grid penality wasn't enough, others whent on to say that points reductiion should be impossed, and others yet simply came on to the F1 forum to hurl insults at LH before crawling back to their respective forums.

Now I don't particularly see you as that person or are you now lumping yourself in with that crowd?

As I said before, my argument was not about the penality or LH obvious mistake, but more to do with the nature of the comments about himon thisd thread. many of which, along with idiotic nicknames, don't seem to materialize with any other driver. That in itself should suffice to question the motives of some on this forum. If it offends you that I bring up an aspect that is clearly stewing underneath but is somehow always ignored for whatever reason, then maybe you should question why you yourself feel offended.

I didn't defend LH's blunder, didn't object to the punishement, but do find the vitriol hurled towards LH somewhat excessive in comparison to other drivers.
why is that?

I agree that it is completely excessive sometimes, just as the vitriol handed out to other drivers is often completely excessive. But I have never really considered any of that directed at Hamilton on here as resulting from racist motives — even very subtle ones. The motives behind it are generally, in my opinion, seriously misguided, but I've never felt them to be racist.
