As for myself, I am delighted as it gives me plenty of material to work with. And here is the prime example: Yesterday he is off bragging about his own abilities and how much better he was than anyone else at dealing with conditions.

Might be true about his skills, but when anyone talks like that about themselves, they just ask for a negative response. Better to let someone form the team say it, while he remains all humble and happy

And speaking of same, from that same set of comments comes this:

"For me, more of a concern is the safety cars that there probably will be tomorrow, and not getting caught out like some of the drivers were last year. I know Fernando was caught out, and in the last few years Juan Pablo Montoya came out of the pits with the red light, and also Felipe (Massa) last year."


So the stoppage of cars should have been NO surprize to Mr. Hamilton, but rather than to come right out and say, "gee i can not believe this happened, etc" it is: "IF I cost Kimi the race" and so on.

Amen to that.

I never really really liked Schumacher (the good one) because he was always a little arrogant. It wasn't so much his words but the tone he sometimes used. But then again when a guy has that many titles I think he deserves to be a little arrogant.

But Hamsandwich hasn't won a title and he's made some pretty schoolboyish errors and yet he comes across as someone who's won a few titles already and is a well established name in the sport. I simply don't like this and neither do others. Hamilton is that new friend in your group of friends who starts calling everyone by their nickname rather than getting to know them first. All the other guys out there have let their achievments do the talking before talking themselves up. Hamsandwich has the attitude of a Schumacher but the achievements of a Coulthard. Not cool.

I will however contradict you, Schumacher never had such an attitude.

Although having reviewed the situation I nominate Alonso El Asno for pretending it was his gearbox when he pure and simple lost it :p :

yes that was a funny one.

Hamilton of course, which is a shame because on pace he had this race sown up.

I guess he deserves a nomination for that ;) Personally I would have blamed the coriolis effect myself.

MS tended to convey a certain smugness at times, but then at other times, he had a habit of doing his best to be humble, give recognition to team and all, but when as a rookie, Hamilton announced that "I am cooler than Kimi.....", well now, Can u walk the walk?, and we saw the answer to that one.....

And I do not really recall MS verbally insulting other drivers like LH ....


Yesterday, it was how he deserved pole because he had the ability to adopt to conditions that no one else had, and then as to add even more insult to the talents of his fellow drivers, rather crudely implied that he was not worrying about them overcoming raod conditions by saying :""For me, more of a concern is the safety cars that there probably will be tomorrow, and not getting caught out like some of the drivers were last year. I know Fernando was caught out, and in the last few years Juan Pablo Montoya came out of the pits with the red light, and also Felipe (Massa) last year.""

Well he appears to have grounds to be smug this time, for he was sure right about needing to be watching out for that nasty old SC and that red light, :eek: now was he not?

Never drink your own kool aid until after you have won it all, and retired!!!

Lewis.

And don´t ask why because all of us agree.

Here's how a level headed person talks after today's race:

"It's hard to express my feelings after a race like this," he said. "On the one hand, I am disappointed because, without my refueling problem, I could have been fighting for a place on the podium.

"On the other hand, I am happy to have brought home four points at the end of a very difficult race run on a track surface that was in really poor condition.

"Once I found myself at the back, I tried to climb back up again, but in the end, when I was behind Glock, I could not get past him and also I didn't want to run the risk of ending up off the track after all the trouble I'd been to to get that far.

"I would like to congratulate Kubica and BMW: they worked really well and deserved this success. They are very strong, but I think we are working in the right direction, as could be seen from our performance level every day here."

I'll respect Lewy the day he'll be able to talk like this. Till then...
