[What's Burning?]

See that's the misconception, that's what the layman thinks about the Tifosi, they believe Ferrari is perfect. We know it may not be the case. You obviously haven't gone around here and seen the comments RC, Myself, Cookin' and even Hammer have made about Lewis. We're his worst critict... but a las what we want it fairness.

err...not to argue semantics, but I think I'm by far his biggest critic among you guys. Unless you lumped LRW in the group too.

Yup... I've noticed that each of you, in turn, has """""""""criticized""""""""" Hamilton; BUT, each
and every time you do that, most of you follow up with a rationalization, an explanation, a
justification (i.e., excuses) as to WHY he did what he did/didn't do what he should have done.

The only one here, namely Roth, who is a Hamilton fan and offers constructive criticism is shot
down by Hamilton's other fans. What does that mean? That means that you should all take a
look in the mirror and recognize the fact that you are all Hamilton TIFOSI!!

Are you sure you don't have any interest in this thread? You spend quite a bit of time with us.

Just because I don't have a vested interest in which of these two drivers wins, doesn't mean I can't be interested in the opinions of others.
Unless, of course, you're suggesting that only Hamilton fans need participate in this thread?

You're not interested I the opinions of others, you just like to parrot things you hear that happen to cast Hamilton and Mercedes in a bad light. It is indeed a sad season for the Tifosi, and I'm enjoying the massive butthurt.

It could be that Nicos real punishment was bnot to have access to Lewis' data anymore, and maybe Lewis is sandbagging by missing out on FP2, he looks very calm for a guy missing a whole sesssion, but looks more like a guy who already is 0.8 faster than his teammate and is sure he cant get quicker, interesting times ahead

I hope that was the real meat of the punishment. We'll see soon enough.

No, the car can't be fired up. I think Lewis is thinking "here we go again" and probably used to all this sh*t by now.

The data sharing thing, yeah I suspect that too.

[CookinFlat6]

Rosberg is only 0.1 ahead of Button so its likely he is still 0.7 behind Lewis If Lewis has grabbed some concession out of this like 'everyman for himself' it could mean we find out how adaptible Nico really is - i.e how quickly he can find a setup that he can max himself without having a beep in his ear tell him when Lewis is changing gear

Come on Sagi you're being stupid now, how could Hamilton be anything other than perfect. Clearly they should rename the sport to Formula Hamilton or Formula Mercedes as that is all that matters....

I think that what should happen is that only the two Mercedes can race as they are the only ones competing for the title and that Hamilton should get a 1 lap headstart in all races because he is clearly the best....

And as for my rose-tinted glasses, I do believe I said Alonso and Ferrari were lucky that they only got a minor penalty for the grid incident. But of course im a biased Ferrari fan who doesnt care about F1....

Take out Hamilton and Mercedes from your statements and replace them with Alonso, Ferrari and it exactly describes your garden variety Tifosi.

Take out Alonso, Ferrari and replace it again with Hamilton and Mercedes and it exactly describes your garden variety lewis loony. See the cycle?

But they're still relatively harmless compared to the Maldonado/Renault insane asylum serial killer candidates.

HAHA TOUCHE!

The guy seems very very relaxed, and his time is still 6 tenths up on Rosberg despite not running.

How do you define 'relaxed'? He's not running around screaming and kicking things?

You're really hurting that Merc are roasting your arse aren't you. At least you realise where the real threat comes from in Merc despite the points tally, have to credit you with that.
Oh, and Lewis needs no one lap head start, he does just fine when starting from the pit lane.

[Ichabod]

Hamilton has ALWAYS been the victim, and i'm sorry but accusing the stewards of racism was disgusting and he was lucky not to get a lengthy ban!

Do you have any real experience of racism ?

because as a mixed race Englishman, who has served in the Royal Navy and been on the receiving end of some particularly nasty incidents in both Spain and Italy,
I found Lewis's comment after that race amusing ( I even said it before he did but my Ali G impression was better )
if Lewis was going to play the race card don't you think he would have done it when confronted with spectators abusing him with blacked up faces ?

Do you Sacha Baron Cohen is funny or do you think he should be banned from T.V ?

[racechick]

well said Ichabod.

[What's Burning?]

Jenson Button: “If it had happened four races ago, I’m sure Nico would have got penalised because that sort of incident always got penalised.”

Jeez... can't Jenson drop this thing already?

[CookinFlat6]

yes, very well said Inchabod

Its so funny when we hear the indignation about Lewis' Ali G joke - 'oh, how truly shocking, i am DISGUSTED' how dare he even joke that F1 - that finest of sports founded by the Quakers in the noblest Corinthian traditions.

Its DISGUSTING to hurt the poor stewards and question the integrity of those who have in the past been caught taking bribes, cheating, showing bias, fixing races, fixing payouts, handing out punitive penalties just because the perp 'is a twat', cheating shareholders, ripping of investors, helping tobacco companies flout the law, helping dictators wash money, smuggling contraband, discriminating openly against South American drivers, discriminating openly against women drivers, discriminating openly against 'alternative sexuality' drivers, discriminating openly against disabled drivers, promoting nationalistic tendencies in Italy and Spain, promoting policies discriminating against minorities and majorities depending on which country.

But get this, ITS DISGUSTING to make a joke that was the most popular in its day, he should have been given a 6 race ban, Now that same year Alonso was caught on camera threatening to use his power to destroy a WHOLE islands tourist liveleyhood if a couple of photographers didnt stop hassling him whilst there on holiday - but thats ok, he has learnt. And it was ok for Alonso not to speak out against his own fans blacking up their face - after he has provoked the situation

But Lewis is DISGUSTING

Some "loyal" fans have the reasoning capabilities of baboons on lsd - not ferrariman though - he should be made a mod immediately in charge of the private lounge

[Hammer278]

I think every person in red should be made a mod in the private lounge, that'd be wacky as f**k.

I'd love to have access to that room just to READ, no need to post....READING will be more than enough.

[CookinFlat6]

I would say, even though its all Tifosi in there, the thread gets locked after every other post, if someone keeps posting data from wiki for example

'Luca is rumoured to be leaving'
'thats kicking the team - thread locked'
'luca has left' - unlock
'maybe we are bteer off without him?' - blasphemy - thread locked
'actually MM is doing well' - unlock
'i think we need new drivers' kicking the team - thread locked
'MM has just replaced kimi with Hulk' - unlock

etc etc etc, no wonder they spend all their time in there
