Jensen given up the title "boy band" to his team-mate ?

yes he makes mistakes on track,yes he says what he thinks but all the knockers on here need to realise this guy loves racing and adds show much to f1. it would be poorer without him.i find it great that a driver expresses himself in this way.would we all want too watch a race where nobody takes a chance to better their position, anybody can sit tight and hope for the the best[webber button alonso].some of the posters on here need to give their head a wobble!

You could tell it wasn't Alonso though because he'd have got away with it. FIArrari and all that sort of stuff :p

It's great when this happens once or twice. But this is Hamilton to the core and I've been saying it for the last 4 years or so.

Destruction derby is a good place for him based on today's race.

And I sure agree, he should get a ban for reckless driving and bringing the sport into disrepute with his stupid racist comments about the FIA stewards.

Having just watched the hairpin incident with Massa and Hamilton again, Hamilton was too far back to attempt the maneouvre on Massa, Massa turned on on Hamilton early then knowing there was no way Hamilton could have stopped his car and in turn he cut across the line so much he hit Webbers car. They both made mistakes in that maneouvre. I'd put most of the blame on Hamilton because he started it in the first place but Felipe could have given him more room.
Regarding the tunnel incident, I don't know how Hamilton got alongside Massa but clearly he was pushed out onto the marbles. A bit of payback for qualifying I say - Hamilton clearly felt aggrieved at that.
As for the Maldonado incident, you can also cleary see that Maldonado turned in too early to block Hamilton. Hamilton was entitled to attempt the move, he was alongside him, if Maldonado wanted to defend his position then the only way to avoid an incident once once Hamilton had committed was to take the racing line, he didn't.

I agree with you. Until Hamilton arrived on the scene I had gotten very bored with F1. He adds that element of passion for racing that was missing for F1 for a few years. He is the best driver out there. Clearly he was frustrated but I'd rather a driver express himself and his emotions rather than be a brick wall and just take everything on the chin.
I don't believe he should have received a penalty for the Maldonado incident and he did. I think this is fairly obvious for anyone watching it. It is almost a mirror image of him and Schumacher at the start of the race and Schumacher saw him and let him through, Maldonado with less experience saw him and tried to take the front of his McLaren off.
