His driving skills are why I support him. Driver 'hotness' is why I like some of the others. But that's nothing compared to the support Lewis has for his driving.
Disagree about Dennis mismanaging Lewis. Lewis is emotional and will always be so, would have been so however Dennis handled him.
...mmm he's a hard pounding driver.
He might have pounded too vigorously at Mclaren where they prefer disturbingly good looking chaps who dont cause any pain
I think Whitmarsh made a few fundamental errors at McLaren when it comes to Lewis, firstly don't get attached to drivers; look at Sir Williams, always kept his distance from drivers, so he had no qualms about selling them off and look how good that helped them in their hayday.
Edit: For some reason I've never really seen the amazing driving from Hamilton that you guys keep mentioning, yes I can see his results and yes he has had some great manoeuvres; but for some odd reason on track he just seems a bit too.....Clinical? Maybe I'm just not a fan of his driving style, it's effective and I'd rather see him winning that several of the drivers on the grid and I'm sure he's a nice bloke but I just feel fairly agnostic towards him. Don't get me wrong I do want to see him winning more and making races more exciting though; I just don't put him in this god like state you guys do.
You just described both of Fin drivers on
the grid and a few of
the German ones.
I've never seen Lewis as a "god" otherwise
he'd have at least two, perhaps three more championships to his name. In 2007 as a kid to come up with Arguably
the best driver on
the grid and square off toe to toe was something magical. If that was "clinical" to you then
we' surely have a difference of opinion on
the word. In 2010 Lewis could have and should have been able to get a title, but his reckless aggression for overtaking and for not giving up a position cost him that year. Far from clinical. In 2011, no one was touching Vettel, yet Lewis tried a win at all cost tactic that further fed
the wolves, and it led to him losing out on points to a team mate for
the first time in his career, because
he wanted to fight for first, not settle for second. Last year
he was a transformed driver and perhaps
the most fitting of "clinical" as a description, and again this time it wasn't Lewis costing himself a championship, it was his team making it very difficult for him. Even our buddy mnmracer's statistical analysis pointed to Lewis losing out on
the most points, so another potential championship eludes him.
You like Bottas, and so do I, but I can't call him exciting to watch race in
the way Kobayashi was, so what is it in your opinion that Bottas does that makes him not "clinical"?
Ultimately losing teaches more than wining, and Lewis has learned a lot since 2008 IMO.
