(But IF he is so great, why wouldn't he have time to tuck in behind Kimi through the chicane and make a better move later? Answer - his GREAT choice was to cut the chicane because it was easier!)

Haha, I'm not a Lewis fan, but I love to see a driver so outspoken.

We moan F1 is so professional and PR related, but I think its good that a driver breaks that mould. Its entertaining :)

yes, maybe, but the difference is that, by going off, Kimi didn't overtake Massa straightaway... he passed him a mile after that just because he was way faster than Felipe... I don't see how you can be penalised because you lose ground by going off and, if you hadn't, you would have lost a bit more... Kimi was really quite a long way behind Massa after going off... this is really taking it to an extreme. But as I said before, I can see your point...

Are you kidding?

If the mother wasnt so desperate to get an autograph then she wouldn'tve bowled her child over. If the worst dirt you can dig is Kimi pushing someone who was in his personal space, then I don't see how it justifies him as an arsehole. Sorry.

I don't get the whole autograph thing. I've got a t-shirt which I got autographed by all the WRC works drivers in 2001, 4 20x30@ photos of mine which I got autographed by driver and co-driver and a poster autographed by Chris Atkinson just so I could have a chat to him.

I have no interest in having the same poster or photo that thousands of other people have had autographed.

lol It actualy was more mend as a joke yes....as a reaction to your reply on my "each champion has to be a bit of an asshole"

But as you seems to take it serious.....i will give you a serious answer..Maybe He could have turned back and check with the kid as he was direct or indirectly involved with the accident no ?...But instead he just moved on !

You hit the nail on the the head. But hey if you really want to cause trouble, try kissing Kimi (or any Finn) on the cheek like in southern europe, then you're in real trouble.

Was there anyone cutting a chicane in that video? I certainly didn't see any. So why is this relevant to what we are debating here?
