Surely this does not need 9 pages of discussion.
You'd be amazed how many pages of discussion we can have on nothing much. :p :Quote:

It seems at the moment he really doesn't see that he is in the wrong which I believe he is, and I believe this to be a real problem going forward.
Don't get me wrong I have been and am a Hamilton fan (On track), I like his willingness to try all race, like Kobayashi, but I think he has major flaws in his whole racer personality with the attitude he has after races.
He has bought alot of pressure on himself now by constantly bashing the stewards, other drivers and at times his team. It is not the way to gain respect or develop the team to help him challenge for the title.
He needs to get his head down and work hard to drag the team to the front and not rant on TV straight after the race, and bringing race into it now opens up a wound that will take a while to heal. I can see that hanging over him for a long time.
The next time he faces the stewards this is undoubtably going to be in the air.
I can't believe this. Hamilton gets hit from behind, due to the fact that he needs to slow down for Sutil, and people are placing the blame on Lewis. A car on three wheels is pretty unpredictable and even more so at Monaco.Quote:

I saw him say it live and although he was clearly joking I question whether there was any truth to it...
You know, some people say what they mean as a joke.
Well, my thoughts. I think he'd have done well with a hot shower and a meal before talking to the media... I guess the drivers are not afforded that luxury though! ;)
I love Hami and have grown to respect him when I did not at the start of his career. Yesterday was a bad, bad day for him. One ill forgive if he can put this behind him and carry forward in a better way.
No surprise to see Hamilton's comments generating a thread like this. From the moment the interview began you could tell this was one unhappy and frustrated driver. I did wince a bit at his comments, but do we want to see 'corporate speak' or drivers speaking their minds?
I agree with Hamilton about F1 wanting to see overtaking, and yet penalties being dished out when drivers try. He hasn't been the only driver to suffer at the hands of the stewards in those circumstances and I think that what drivers can do now is over policed.
That said Lewis looked like a driver who was up for a scrap yesterday and in those kind of circumstances perhaps incidents were inevitable, particularly at Monaco. Perhaps he frustration of watching the championship slip away for another year is getting to him.
