Worth a thread of it's own this.
Possibly. For anyone who didn't see it, he was asked by the BBC's Lee McKenzie about the trip to the stewards. He replied with something along the lines of "I've been up in the stewards' office 5 times in 6 races. It's a frickin' joke. I don't know why... maybe it's because I'm black, isn't that what Ali G used to say?"
If it was a joke it was a poor one, and he seemed determine to blame anybody else but himself.
A bad day/weekend at the office.
Out of fustration it's not the first time we've seen him not pulling the party line.
In Canada I guarantee there will be a BBC interview saying how fustrating the Monaco GP was, the incidents will make him grow stronger, yadda yadda yadda...
He also claimed Massa blocked him in Qualifying and still he got a penalty (He obviously forgot he cut the chicane), then Massa and Hulkenberg both turned in early to stop him passing and he gets penalties.
I think it was a joke but yep, blaming Massa for turning into him when its more than obvious to the rest of the world that he's the one to blame. He needs to start taking responsibility for his own actions.
One is tempted to suggest that keeping a young driver on such a tight PR leash is bound to be counterproductive, because they are more likely to not really know how to behave in the more unguarded moments.Quote:

He's a frustrated joke of a driver. :down:
A fair point. Lewis is a product of his background. But nevertheless I think he should be mature enough by now not to take such a petulant attitude every time things don't go his way.Quote:
