Should I lock this thread now? Are you testing the mods DD?

Don't shoot the messenger. Can't help it if LH acts like a tool on the interview circuit...

Oh my. If your name wasn't written in the pink color of admin...you would be rolling in hate posts at this point.

Tool, eh? Yeah, that fits. Well done.

Talking smack to the media about your rivals is always a no-no. Well, unless you enjoy Nascar I suppose. Perhaps Lewis is looking for a seat next to boobies boy, so he is warming up the redneck trash talk?

Think Tool is abit Harsh its not like he said "Red Bull is s*** Yo! Mclaren is where its at! Vettle is a muppet too, i'm a well better river init"

He said "Red Bull are a Drinks Company" = FACT "They have no history compared with Mclaren and Ferrari" = FACT

oh wait its Lewis Hamilton so everyone goes omg! lewis said somthing midly controvisal omg omg tool!!

p.s stop comparing F1 to nasty car no one watches it on the decent side of the Atlantic.

Uh...He has a point ya know. There's no way Red Bull will stay on top indefinitely. ANd their commitment isn't an known quantity. All we know is they're here for the time being.

Oh my how arrogant !

HUH? Why is Lewis a tool? He's just saying what a lot of us are saying in the forums! Surely he's a hell of a lot more qualified to give his own take on other teams than all of us combined?

You don't diss your rivals - you may have to eat your words!

Everyone disses everyone everyday...its called thrash talk. Every sport has this, it just adds to the fun.

Not so. Look back at what other drivers said about their rivals in the past few weeks.

I read about Christian Horner indirectly talking smack about McLaren just last week!

And anyway, I just read it again and Lewis was probably asked something like "Can Redbull sustain this lead" and his answer was they are a freakin drinks company and they don't have the history of McLaren! I'd revert my statement of thrash talk, the guy just said Ferrari is red, in another way.

Jeez, it seems a slightly lengthier quote from Lewis has already got the maggots crawling out of the woodwork, what with the billin guy and I believe this is just the start. This smells of a 100 strong thread already...let's see if it hits it before free practice starts!

I don't have the energy, the lock button will be mighty temping before then. perhaps I need a red bull.

Fernando has echoed the exact same thing in the past. Hardly justifies calling Lewis a tool, he has a point!

I've never seen Christian Horner drive an F1 car...

You simply don't diss a rival of that caliber, the freaking double world champions at that, in this way! It's the belittling tone of it all and it's the questioning of their willingness to stay in F1. Did anybody diss the manufacturers who all left by now in this way while they were in F1? BMW? Honda? Renault even?

[Hammer278]

Okay, so drivers are not allowed to comment?? I'm really missing the logic here, when a mike is shoved up a drivers face what does he do? Carry a stapler and staple his mouth whenever asked for an interview?

And he barely even dissed the team, everything he stated was the truth. There was no exaggeration, and no assumptions...ergo it is justified. Redbull is exactly what Lewis says they are. They could be in F1 until the end of time or maybe next year. Who would've imagined BMW quitting so early? Things change mate. Credit to the three titans of F1 (Ferrari, McLaren and Williams) for lasting this many years.

He was hardly dissing them, he just simply said there a Drinks Company who has one ONE TITLE its too soon to say they are the level of McLaren or Ferrari.
