Firstly I am new to the board so hello to everyone :wavey:

Secondly, I am relatively new to Formula in the sense that I have been paying somewhat more and closer attention the last 2 or 3 years.

While some folks I have spoken to find F1 boring, my humble (and noobish) opinion is that it is very exciting for many different reasons...but that is for another post altogether.

I am finding Lewis Hamilton's behavior this year somewhat...unusual due to a few incidences:

A) If memory serves, he complained/criticized the team over his tire change that occurred at an inopportune time.

B) The blocking incident...what was up with that? I understand a driver gets a chance to some degree to hold his position, but he was weaving to prevent being passed.

C) In the most grievous offenses in Shanghai, he was seen attempting to barge into the pit lane ahead of Vettel and was clearly over the white line on the left. Additionally - while Vettel had the clear lead in the pit exit lane after they had both made their tire changes, he rode closely to him straddling the Blue safety line which I found to be extremely egregious for safety reasons.

He gives the impression of someone who is not able to sort of hold it all together mentally due to stress, frustration or other factors. I am frankly surprised he is not being dealt with more harshly after the pit exit lane incident as well, regardless of Mr. Ecclestone's comments. Had he lost grip or had some other factor come into play the potential was there for a tragic series of events.

Again, still new to F1 so I am sure there are factors I am not getting...

Cheers,


It always seems to be the people from the US that have this problem,i guess he should be shooting hoops or running the hundred metres in your opinion,i mean what was the point of your thread? :banghead:

F1 is about motorsport but some people get it confused with daytime soap opera and gossip websites and magazines. "Hey did you hear? LH fart is different from this year then last year".

Never,i doubt you will find one racist in America,tolerance is legendary in that country but alas we are going off subject.

Again, to me it seems the Americans on this forum have the most issues with Lewis racing ethics. Perhaps if he was at the back of the field and driving for virgin many of you wouldn't give him the time of day but him being a winner and a talented driver really gets up some peoples noses.

I guess the OP though he might get a more favourable reaction but it didn't quite work out that way. :yikes:

You always try to make it a racist argument dont you? It's inconceivable in your mind that anyone could dislike dear Lewis without it being because of his skin color. The mods have repeatedly said they will not tolerate the race card being brought into it, but they continually overlook it. So, I'll say if you think I'm a racist for not liking Lewis, you are an ignorant dumbass who clearly has earned the internet life you so deeply cherish. Much like Bud and his teenboy fanclub who talk s*** in PM's and then cry when its brought to light. It's a breach of internet etiquette....oh dear me. Pffft. Sniveling internet pussies...one and all.

How to make a hot topic:
-Put hamilton's name
-put the word "behavior"
-sit back, relax, and enjoy

Race is over and both guys were reprimanded.Can't we just move on?
