[Fact Man]

Sorry Fact Man but that was rubbish. And whats with the "daddy's boy" Alonso's father attends every race with Alonso!

90% of what's contained in that post completely belies your username. There are plenty of alternative points you could raise to counter your beliefs. Speculation and supposition of epic proportions.

You do realize that it's a joke, right!

I'm still looking for a publisher!

I think he was refering to RD rather than LH's biological father

RD was and is, pretty much, "fathering" LH's professional career from the very early days.

Now... the quickiest way to comment OP is by quoting Tom Clancy who said (more or less): "I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?"

That being said, I also do feel LH is arrogant and spoiled kid. I hope I'm wrong or, at least, I hope LH grows up in a next year or so... And I do believe he did have and still does have special treatment in McLaren... rumours about his exclusive long term contract with special privileges for his manager, if true, are reliable sign of his special possition.

But at the end of the day, he is great pilot... maybe I just want to much by wishing he is also likeable one as well.

Thanks for the clarification.

I say again, LH is a great driver, there is no doubt about it. But blindly supporting your driver means you are not an honest fan. I thought that Senna was one of the best but I never restrained from criticizing him when he did wrong. The way LH's fans defend him is becoming redundant.

Ok sorry Fact Man, I only skim read it.I was in a rush and there has been a lot of criticism of Lewis after a brilliant drive I wouldn't support a driver blindly. I liked Senna very much until he began treating other drivers unfairly. When Schumacher started I wanted him to beat Senna but Michael became even more arrogant and unfair to other drivers. I support Lewis because he is an excellent driver who could go on to be one of the greatest. I have watched him race for a long time but it is over the last two years that I think he has shown his real potential. I don't think he is spoilt but if he became arrogant, demanding and thought himself above the rules of fair play then I don't think I would enjoy watching him anymore. I see no signs of this happenning but we will have to wait and see. So there you are...not a blind follower

I agree with you and I cross my fingers that LH doesn't become arrogant and demanding. It's about time this sport has seen a driver with high integrity and this hope now lies on LH.

Lets hope he delivers
