Damon sticks it to DC

After DC's ill judges and some would say sour grapes comments about Lewis, DH has come out and swiped him a beaut.

Well done Damon. Lewis has got to impress and like you, I'm convinced he will but DC did need taking down a peg or two

Hill:

"People will give him the leeway and the benefit of the doubt for that first six months," Hill commented.

"But then, at the end of the season, if he hasn't outpaced Fernando at one point or another, people will be saying 'Where is it? Where's that spark?'"

"So it is fair to say there is a little pressure, but I don't think Lewis Hamilton is the sort of person who under-estimates that. I think he understands that and respects that.

Coulthard: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/moto...ne/6061610.stm

"I would advise him not to rush in, because if it doesn't quite work out then his could be a very short career."

"In terms of driving talent I think he's ready, but it's not just about whether you can drive the car or not," added Coulthard.

"It's about how you handle the rollercoaster that is the life of a Formula One driver.

To me they are pretty much in agreement with Lewis, DC being bit more cautious.

All through that interview, DC was putting him down as a little kid with no idea of what was going to happen. He's also made comments along the line of Lewis needing to start in a 2nd tier team rather than a top flight one as he's not capable of driving a top car.

That smacks of DC being a bit miffed that some rookie is getting a chance with a team that he never managed to excel in.

As DH says, DC never really delivered on his promise.

It's in DC's interests to question young rookies because, as an experienced driver nearing the end of his career, they'll replace him in time and he'd prefer it to be later rather than sooner.

Damon doesn't need to worry about such things anymore. The only people he has to answer to are his kids who apparently keep finding old clips of him racing on youtube

I followed the link, and the correct title for the article is "Hamilton needs fast start - Hill."

People that post links should not make up their own titles. This is a distortion of the author's work and should not be permitted by the mods. While it's not plagiarism, it is an ethical violation.

[janneppi]

But this isn't really a topic about Hill's opinion about lewis, but about the differences in his opinion with DC. And as such the title is valid.

I could not disagree more. Altering the original author's title is a form of vandalism and should not be permitted.

Well maybe it should be put simpler so as that people on this forum can fully understand the comments and the discussion it is meant to provoke, and not to incite a tangent about legal dilemmas :

It's not about "legal dilemmas." It's about the alteration of copyrighted work. If changing the title is acceptable, why not post the article and change it to suit your perspective? It only takes the deletion of a little word, such as "not" to change the entire thrust of an article. Making up a polemic title is in many ways worse.
