After watching the interview, I couldn't believe it. Can you imagine if Alonso did that. He would be crucified by this forum.

This is pathetic on Hamilton's behalf. I guess he needs to send a letter to all drivers informing them that when he tries to overtake them, they can't block him. Massa had no right at all to close the door on Hamilton After all he had every right to attack Massa but the latter had no right to defend his position

I can't believe that anyone would defend Hamilton's behavior today. I know I am going to get in a lot of trouble for saying those things but honestly, Hamilton gives all his critics all the reasons they need to keep piling up on him.

Finally, about the "black" thing. Is he serious? If he had any credibility at all after this statement he lost it. Just sad, very very sad.

PS: during the race, one of the speed tv guys said that Hamilton might get a penalty for Canada. Did anyone hear anything about it?

Oh yeah...the Hamilton hater gives his input. Yak yak yak.

Look if Massa wants to defend his position, he can do so without crashing. Maybe you'd like to watch Lap 1 again and see how Lewis and Schumacher did it SUCCESSFULLY at that SAME corner. Then come back and tell me why they did not crash.

[LewEngBridewell]

Let's not even go into the racism thing, it's so boring and childish. I can't believe he himself even brought it up.

[Peng]

Can you imagine if Alonso did that. He would be crucified by this forum.

I would laugh the same as i did for Hamilton and it may make me like Alonso a little more.

Finally, about the "black" thing. Is he serious? If he had any credibility at all after this statement he lost it. Just sad, very very sad.

I guess you missed the Ali G part of the joke, it may have been an uncalled for joke and a stupid 1 at that but he was angry and made a stupid joke which i am sure he will regret.

The black joke, you leave it to the comedians.

He should not have brought it up himself. The media and the whole world was waiting for him to take the bait. From now on, it is a totally different game.

I hate anything that has to do with race and for him to mention it, even as a joke, was simply wrong.

Come on, this guy is a clear hater of Hamilton, its a great opportunity to milk the interview in his favour...though brace yourself, this one is just a minion. Wait till the 'big boys' of Hamilton Hate Club watches the clip and start logging into the forum.

Ahem. I'll just leave this here.

Lol, the critics never liked him anyway so no matter what Lewis say or does, to some it really doesn't make a difference. Again ill repeat that the black thing is understandable especially when you look at what the head man Bernie thinks of racist behaviour

Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone caused outrage yesterday by dismissing racist abuse hurled at Lewis Hamilton as 'a bit of a joke'.
Hamilton had been taunted by Grand Prix spectators wearing black face paint and afro wigs.
Spanish fans called the 23-year-old Briton a 'half breed' and set up a website to post abusive messages.


But yesterday Ecclestone insisted the abuse was not racist and the culprits were 'expressing themselves'.
Many Spaniards dislike Hamilton for eclipsing his Spanish former McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso. The two rowed publicly and were not on speaking terms.
Spanish fans also favour Brazilian driver Felipe Massa, who was beaten to the championship on Sunday in his home country by Hamilton.
Asked about the fans who wore black face make-up at the Spanish Grand Prix earlier this year, Ecclestone said: 'That was probably meant in the beginning as a joke rather than anything abusive.
'I think people look and read into things that are not there. I think all those things were a bit of a joke.
'In Spain, people were supporting Alonso and in Sao Paulo they were supporting Felipe. I don't think it's anything to do with racism.'


Now if Bernie thinks like this why would it surprise you that other in F1 don't think the same.

Well done Lewis for actually saying what many of us have thought since you won your first F1 race.

I know i may not post much but i lurk on the forum very regularly so i know who you mean :p

I dunno maybe 1 day something we say will remove some of the hate some people have to certain drivers, id love that to be the case with me and Alonso since i respect him massively as a driver but cant stand the guy as a person.

Di Resta outbraked himself and there was contact, the cars BROKE. Is it really so hard to see? Lewis braked on time and was negotiating the corner, taking a big chunk of kerb and still stuck to Massa, what does that tell you about the room Massa gave??

I can't believe it, how long have some people here been watching F1/motorsports? Is racing really that hard to understand?? Maybe F1 was starved of it for so long, some just can't recognize it when its in front of their face.

Halleluiah, you got me there. I guess my opinion does not count because I don't like Hamilton but yours does because you don't dislike Alonso at all. Get OVER IT.
Hamilton ed up a lot today and he paid the price. He was stupid with his passes and got what he deserved.
One more point, so what if I don't like Hamilton?

[Yoruba]

I fear Hamilton is really going off the rails tbh, wish he had his 2007 attitude.

Id like to see ANYONE DARE disagree with me after watching Hamiltons post race BBC forum interview, DARE.


Why do you feel your so magnetic to the stewards " maybe because im black"

I think, think that was a joke...

Are you telling me that somehow makes it normal dialogue to say?

" For the last 5 of 6 races ive been called to the stewards its frickin ridiculous, frickin ridicoulous."

" (why are you so attracted to to stewards) i dunno maybe its cause im black, thats what ali g says (laughs)

Can you just wait if you havent seen it till i or someone posts the link. My jaw hit the floor, he just would not shut up, and everything he said was like .

What is normal dialogue to you I'm wondering? I appreciate people that tell it like it is rather than beat around the bush because of "powers that be" or PR. Remeber these guys are STILL human beings.

Do you tell your boss at work to shove it up his arse when he wants overtime? Or do you keep your mouth shut and grumble to yourself.

Case closed. No you keep your mouth shut. Wheres your " human being anti-PR" ideology then? Its nowhere, because there are some things for the sake of integrity and unneccesary aggro, you just do not say" If he had said that whole convo behind closed doors to his team then its fine, encouraged even.

What he said, and the manner and posture in which he presented it was totally inappropriate.

What rule did he break by what he said? He didn't rub you and the stewards the 'right' way? Didn't sugarcoat it the way you want to hear it? Leave the sugarcoating to politics...LH is a pure 'call it as I see it' racer...period.

I never said you opinion does not count, you said it.

He was stupid with his passes and got what he deserved.

And you were right. Your opinion counts squat...since you can't even answer my original question, a post earlier I made to you. This bold line reeks of hate, I wont be surprised if you never even watched his passes!

You are right about the racism part. But no matter what happens, he should not have given his critics more reasons to do so.
He should have never brought it up himself. That's how I see it.

Hamilton's crash was far, far more avoidable than di Resta's. Massa gave exactly the room that was necessary for Hamilton to back out of a move that was very ambitious from the start, but instead of conceding that actually, he was too far back, Lewis just carried on going in to a gap that was always going to get smaller. He knows how to get round that corner, therefore he should have known exactly what would have happened. Whilst he has always been one to show how overtaking should be done, he has equally been one to show exactly how not to do it. Today was the latter.

[Robert12010]

just been reading through all these pages, and my view is this, yes lewis did get a bit battered and bruised on the track, but he never gave up, so well done got some good points, another great drive from sebb, and alonso did very well in the ferrari, and well done to jenson and kobayashi, now with hamilton's interview im not saying what he did was right or wrong, but maybe not the best idea to use race...........
