I love all these nooby comments I am seeing wishing Hamilton failure for the rest of his career and how Hamilton can't look after his tyres. Make me wonder if these nobodies were watching something else...

It's almost as bad as the sporting crowd at Silverstone booing Vettel when he retired.

they didnt boo when he retired, it was spontaneous cheering all round the track. You see Mark is an honorary Brit and the fans at Silverstone don't like how he's been treated and don't like Vettels style as a team mate to him. Multi 21, cuckoo signal, switched wing etc etc. that's just not British! He ain't popular! Now Rosberg was cheered enormously on the stage at the after party.

I suppose the Dutch wouldn't cheer if Germany scored an own goal in the world cup ?

Cheering a failure is different to Booing a winner !

Its absolutely no different to you or Andrew coming on here posting with glee when Webber or Hamilton has a bad race, but that's what fanboys are for I suppose

Really, you feel this is the moment to talk about honorary Brits?

If you believe Vettel was not booed, you have clearly not visited the Grand Prix this year or last.

The question is....WHY the booing for such a 'likeable innocent lad'? Are everyone in the stands demons? Or maybe something is amiss with Vettel himself as a personality?

Yes. That's what Mark is always referred to. He was called that throughout the post race party. He lives in the UK. Why does that make you laugh?

True. I mean, all the innocent bystanders that get caught in hooligan riots, surely almost must have done something to deserve that .

It is Marks second home, being from the commonwealth he is also a member of the BRDC.

But hey if you think the booing a drivers misfortune is a uniquely British trait then think again. Spa 2009 which i attemded had the local German crowd giving Lewis and Jenson stick for DNFing on lap one, dunkopf Englanders...

My driver had a bad day and my bottom hurts

honestly comparing people cheering a German retiring from the British GP to football hooliganism is pathetic

1. Because there is nothing honorary about ignoring team orders, proclaiming you are proud of it, again ignoring team orders, and again ignoring team orders, and then make snarky remarks when the team mate that you have been ignoring team orders to, does the same. There is nothing honorary about being a hypocrite.
2. There is nothing honorary about cheering for a driver's misfortune, whether it is someone breaking his leg or someone DNF'ing through no fault of his own.
3. And if the Brits were so high in their morals, how can they cheer for a team that has been penalized just last week.

These are the same 'honorary Brits' that cheered for a German breaking his leg.
That is pathetic.

Ah okay...so all the people attending the Silverstone GP were hooligans! Gotcha.

If you have to resort to putting words in my mouth, you might as well just not post, or have the balls to admit that your argument is invalid.

Non of those reasons are why Mark is an honorary Brit. You're making a whole load of different points. He's an honorary Brit because he's chosen the UK as his home. His wife is from the UK , he has a pub here and his down to earth, no nonsense attitude has won lots of people's hearts.

Your last point is ridiculous in the extreme and nothing to do with the discussion. We aren't discussing Brits morals.

You're not understanding the use of the term honorary.

She's saying the Brits are adopting Webber, an Australian as a Brit.
