Lewis saying the championship is "practically over" is not "giving up". That's stating a fact. He may act like a bit of a douche after poor races, but once he gets in a car, he goes balls out. Regardless of what you think of his personality or driving style, you can't say he doesn't try his damnedest. Same goes for Alonso, only he's not so much of a douche.

Alonso is worse of a <EDITED WB> in some ways because he's sneaky and underhand with it. But neither are quitters, if you think Alonso or lewis are quitters you misjudge things by quite some!!

This was kind of a kick in the teeth for those who claim Hamilton and Alonso are "racers". Look at the great racers from the past - Schumacher, Prost, Senna, Piquet, Mansell (dear God), Lauda etc etc. I cannot imagine any of them throwing in the towel at this early stage of the year. It is not even the half way mark yet and there is talk of giving up. Pathetic! It ain't over until the rather rotund woman has started to warble and she isn't even warming up yet.

But I guess it is OK, Twitter saved the day and Hamilton has now said he will never give up. I wonder if Alonso will do the same?

Of course this is all PR BS aimed at luring Red Bull into a false sense of security and into mistakes.

However, if they want to give up and let Vettel get an easy ride to his 2nd title then that is fine by me!

A word of advice, dont join a forum and immediately become inflammatory and pose aggresive views off the bat, i did it, coming up to a year now and im still paying the price for it, nobody will take you seriously they just earmark you as one of "those" kind of fans.

Second bit of advice is to do some reading, nobody has given up, and i quote Lewis Hamilton; " I will NEVER give up".

All in all i dont actually know what your talking about?

I'm really suprised by these comments from alonzo and lewis. Vettel deserves the win if you are just going to throw in the towel. We haven't even gotten to the really good tracks yet. Silverstone, monza, suzuka, hell I'm really REALLY looking forward to a DRY korean GP. f***ing quitters. Makes me sick. Notice you don't hear jensen talking this bullcrap. I really like lewis, but more and more, I am really starting to become a fan of button. He's a nice guy, he doesn't say stupid s*** at the end of races, he literally keeps his cool ten times better, and he talks to his fans before races. (on the grid with martin I mean).

I'm really sadden to hear lewis talk like this. I mean if you really look at it, the only difference between this season and 2010 is, vettel has gotten his points in the beginning of the season. But really was anyone that suprised? If you look at 2010, if he had not had reliability issues in all those races he got a DNF in, or went back 2-3 spots because of, he'd be dominating just as hard.

Do you really think the best option with the media and his haters was to come out saying he can still win?

Hes three plus wins behind.



They didnt say its over, they said its practically over, and why should they refrain from saying what everyone else in teh entire world knows, it is over.

He also said quite clearly and quite publicly that "Hell never give up" it was quite a rousing speech, i dont know whether youve seen that or not...

Call me old fashioned at the ripe ol age of 29 but he's got younger fans he should be a rolemodel to. "quitting" isn't the best message.

Shall i add that in at number 74 in the book of "Pathetic excuses to try and justfiy hating Lewis Hamilton" ?

The season is not even half over with eleven races still to run and things could turn around very quickly for Mac and Ferrari. Even though it seem's Seb's WDC lead at the moment is insurmountable it aint over until the fat lady sings.


Boogedy Boogedy Boogedy, Lets Go Racing Boys !

Bring it ooooooooooonnnnnnnnn!!!

<EDITED WB>

I do have something to post that isnt rude or condescending yes, im going to ignore the personal stuff and hope the mods arent too harsh on it either, sometimes minds need to be spoken, opinions and frustration is contained on here like a virus and it results in a permanent subtle hostility between people rather then clearing the air.


I only said it because of these five points;

1. Lewis has never said hes giving up, what your saying was essentially slander.
2. You somehow found it in your time to find Lewis' comments saying its hard to win the title as giving up?
3. Alonso said the same comments and not a dickie bird came from you detracting him, and i mean echoed the same words Lewis said?
4. You somehow missed Lewis come out with these exact words, and i quote " I will NEVER give up"
5. The assumption that Lewis is either the only driver or the driver with the most young fanbase and justification for singling him out on something HE DIDNT SAY seems outrageous to me.


Id like to know genuinely what your response is to these five things as im interested to know just how you can logically defend what you initally said.

As a last point im sure plenty on here could tell you im far from duckling on the teat of Lewis Hamilton.
