I agree. I am not a huge Senna fan but I admired his passion. He was an idiot in a lot of ways but I don't believe Hamilton would ever premeditatedly take another driver off and put their lives at risk like Senna did to Prost in Japan 1990.

Hamilton has made peace with the stewards:

Who lied again and threw his sporting manager under the bus?!

Surely not MS.

If you want to come up with another liar worth it's money then check Singapore 2008.

Well, I looked and I can not find any penalty in the books for just lying except to the stewards, maybe, as in bringing the sport into disrepute.

But you can add he called the stewards "a joke", EXCEPT I have to agree on that point: A 20 second penalty?? Causing no loss of position!!!!!!!

now that was a sad JOKE, why bother......(but he has now gone back and made peace with them, personally I think the real reason he went back was to kissed their buttocks for giving him only 20 seconds.....if there is to be a penalty, then there should be a real penalty that hurts..)

Anyway was that Hamilton getting all squirelly and causing the wreck that stopped the race???

I don't think Ayrton's intention was to murder anyone. Senna wanted to win, but I don't see how that's anyway comparable to Hamilton.

Hamilton took fair chances at Monaco today and came out with a 6th place after being screwed in qualifying.

I also don't think Hamilton would take someone off on purpose. I think he genuinely believes that all the contact he had was the other guys fault. In itself that's a problem, but I can live with that.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. To take someone out on purpose is simply not acceptable.

Clearly he had no intent on murdering someone but he had no qualms with putting himself into a position that might cost another driver his life as long as it meant he won either.

Well, the Maldonado incident was not his fault. That is clear to be seen.

Massa's was his fault but, as I said already, Felipe wasn't exactly innocent in it either.

It was a stupid comment, but then I am so used to Hamilton's childish behaviour to be particularly surprised by his current temper tantrum.

I respect his talent behind the wheel but I will never respect the man.

I agree with Hamilton,he has had some harsh penalty's in his career that others would have got away with.Its called motor RACING for gods sake!!
We want to see motors RACING,not a procession of cars for nearly 2 hours where the race is won or lost in the pits.If we wanted to see who is the quickest in the pits ,we could watch "Pit stop challenge",for our entertainment.Lewis is a racer,he make,s F1 interesting,which I believe is what the majority want,The drivers who hold him up to help their fellow country man,and some german drivers come into that category,are content to "follow my leader", until they see Lewis in their mirrors.
I know Lewis should consider his team and sponsors,when making his comments,but I would be as frustrated and as verbal myself too !
