I am not a fan of Lewis Hamilton, but I applaud him for speaking his mind, and I was actually kind of disappointed he apologised for it after. If he thinks the stewards were stupid, or their decisions are a joke, why shouldn't he be able to say it?
Compared to the days we had the likes of Irvine, or Juan Pablo, the current crop of drivers are all very PR orientated. Almost robot like. It was refreshing to hear Lewis voice his opinion.
It was/is refreshing to hear drivers voice their opinion, however Hamilton went too far by claiming the FIA were racist. And I don't fully believe he was joking, more like a huge chip on his shoulder.
Well after incidents such as Spa 2008 you can hardly blame him for suspecting it. Still, I agree that he went too far.Quote:

I didn't like the outbursts neither of Plato, nor of Hamilton.
Don`t people want more outspoken drivers who say what they think? Kimi was attacked for not giving the media any ammo to work with, others are being attacked for being too straight in their sayings.Quote:
