Just thought I'd post a picture of complete harmony between Martin and Lewis, embracing each other full of warmth and love and passion before Lewis steps into his car and makes his devoted team weep with pure joy as he guides it lovingly through corners and chicanes towards a beautiful victory after which he'd rush and pull on a McLaren rocket-red victory t-shirt and wear it with pride as he goes skipping through the daisy-filled paddock shouting about his love of all things McLaren, Big Ron and Martin.

The guy has defended his driver in the worst of circumstances over the past three years, even when Lewis has been in the wrong and, as a result, has left us shaking our heads at the McLaren management.C'mon, keep up Dent! Look around.

SennaVille wrote:Today's race pretty much explains why I'm a Lewis fan.
I think he can be such an idiot at times, immature behaviour (the snarky message he sent to his team via radio today, good example), he's reckless, drives irrationaly at times, impetuous, whiny.
But, he is my number one driver because despite all his little foibles, he is so freakin good. How he kept Webber behind him lap after lap after lap is just amazing. The pressure alone should have resulted in some major error, but I don't think he even locked a tyre.
I felt very much the same way watching Senna, I knew he could be an idiot, but he was sooo good that I had to forgive him his douchebag tendencies and concentrate how excellent he was behind the wheel.
I think what I'm trying to say is, respect the talent, not the personality.
I actually like him as well. But Im a hopeless case. Did you know that through all that defending he had stuff in his front wing which was causing huge understeer and loosing him about 4 tenths a lap!!!
Hamilonso wrote:It was a solid race for him, im happy that came along, he acted like a win wouldnt change things post quali but this second place has lifted him obviously, if only watching interviews and stuff.I think it was impressive, especially as his car had problems. though lewis I suspect would agree with you. he wasnt impressed.
But the defending wasnt that impressive, in the same way Vettel defending Hamilton in Spain wasnt that impressive, a great first/last corner run negated a bad DRS zone, Hamilton knew like Vettel did after 5 laps that he wouldnt pass him in this race.
Whats next? India, hope he can become the first winner of that race then.
