Either way he was having problems with the brakes less than halfway through the GP! Do you actually think that is acceptable?

More like a product defect, not driver ineptness.

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'

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 agree with this.

While I think Lewis does have to be more careful in how he treats the team publicly, we also have to remember that we (as fans) don't get even 1/10th of 1% of the communication and interaction he has with the team.

Personally, I'd be happy to see more drivers displaying some amount of spirit and passion. Since Alesi, Berger, Irvine and certain others retired, these guys have become (mostly) a group of politically correct, corporate robots that sound like they're reading a speech prepared by some PR type. And that's what I find to be boring. So while it wouldn't be wise to alienate the team with too much ranting & raving, I see nothing wrong with showing flashes of fire in the right circumstances.

Indeed, but he was a ****er that could drive the nuts off a car.

And was utterly thrashed by somebody with brains and finesse in 1990.

Which proves there was something fundamentally wrong with his style of driving, and ergo, that of Hamilton, since you make the comparison between Mansell and Hamilton.

So thanks for proving that.
