Hamilton's Driving

OK classy Jenson drive this race as I mentioned above. You bagged some points this race Lewis, but still, 11 points short of Jenson.

The season is still long ofcourse.

I think its rather dull and boring that people will happily ignore the other comments drivers make simply to bash Lewis. Still it seems to be contributing to his reputation of being the most popular and talked about F1 driver.. :)

Both you and Lewis are very entertaining .

How about a comment on how you think the two different approaches to how they treat thier team will affect the atmosphere in the garage , or are you looking to duck that issue for Lewis here ?

I will slag anyone who gets paid a fat wad and turns on his team .

You made a flip comment , and I replied .


Lewis doesn't want to taint his rep , he says , and then burns the team in front of the world .
Bad form .

Could it have something to do with the new rim design and lack of cooling maybe? Just a wild stab in the dark.

It amazes me on this forum however when people get heated over someone disagreeing with them, but expect an F1 driver in an environment they have no experience of, to keep cool in the heat of battle. Thats not a dig at you Mr Jan btw.. :)

I accept the odd whinge but he does it most races now and it's showing a lack of class. Take Button (who I don't rate as much) who has spent years in a tail end car but has always remained dignified about it. Lewis should take some 'man' lessons from Jense.

No different to Button moaning down the line at Ross last year about how bad the car was....

It's a non issue that you find entertaining.

Wilco out Baggy.

Eh, the radio message was to look after the brakes as wear rate was high, not fading. Your advice would be better aimed at the Red Bulls.....

I think so far they have both showed the other teams how to behave under the strain oif both being highly competitive.

The only people its causing tension for at the moment are the non Mclaren fans, or so it seems.. :)

I wasn't intimating that Jensen would be wound up .
Far from it , really .

Lewis was angry he didn't have a car that could stand the punishment , and blamed the team , clearly .
Button had his whole afternoon ruined by a silly mistake , and took it with dignity , losing with the team .

And , again , what someone else did has no relevence .

The way Lewis reacted was in stark contrast to Button .

Trouble is, we were not graced with any radio transmissions from Button, were we, so who knows what was said. I don't imagine it was;

JB 'I say chaps, rather hot in the rear today, wht what'
McLaren Team 'sit told old bean, It'll be all tickety boo once the SC pulls in'
JB 'right oh, please pass my kind regards onto that kind soul that blocked the radiator, proper derring do indeed'

You and the other "Lewfosi" will find the "non-issue" a problem before too long if your man doesn't shut up and drive .

Both are like the shoe in a sense , but in different ways .

Ones sees himself larger than the sport , and the other sees himself a part of it .
One sees the red mist and one gets all misty .

Nowt wrong with Lewis's driving. Many of his overtakes this year have reminded me of the ballsy all out style of 'Il Leone'

Yours, (red) misty eyed of Maidstone....
