I nearly watched the race with the mute on!! ITV are so biased to LH its sickening (like they are to man U And Arsenal in the football). There are 19 other drivers!! I cant wait till its back on the BBC!

And just like the media are to any old Premiership team whenever they're playing lower league opposition in the Cups, they sound like they wet themselves when they see someone like Drogba or Lampard score a goal, and then sound like they just dropped a 10 pound note down the drain when the lower league team score.

And then there's Andy Gray's red pen on Sky Sports and his bias against Liverpool, I say this because imagine if he was paired up with James Allen - who is a Liverpool fan - they'd be arguing all match.

I dont think lewis pretends to be anything he is not. He is a hard but fair fair racer which cannot be said for all. He believes in his abilities, believes that he is the best and ok that can come over as arrogance I guess but he aint gonna get anywhere if he thinks the other guy is better than him!
* he doesnt criticise his team
*he doesnt pretend to be smarter than team strategists, he acted rashly last year and has since apologised he was only 21 under immense pressure and maybe made a wrong decision also he had to step out of the little boy role at sometime.
*he is a team player and has said he will suport Heikki whenever the situation arises
* I dont get the big deal about the autoiography, there were already
about 4 or 5 biographies about him published before he wrote his own.
simple answer- Dont but it! I didnt, I bought the Mark Hughes one
*He didnt use the F word over the radio-a misquote
*Dont attract a sick public???? come on! get on to the media not him! He drives cars. I hate the media attention, i supported Lewis long before the media knew who he was!! so they piss me off as well but that isnt Lewis' fault.

Heikki is a great guy, I'll agree with that. He's different to Lewis but that doesnt make Lewis some sort of bad guy

* He does, or at least I've seen some of his recent statements as such.
* He is still questioning not being allowed to tackle FA during the ending stage of last year's Monaco! And he did play his own game at Budapest last year, which might have cost FA crucial championship points. That was NOT team-play, unless he IS the team
* I don't think his support for Heikki is genuine, but we'll know for sure once Heikki really becomes competition to Lewis.
* Idea of biography at such tender age annoys me. It's absurd. Simple fact that others did it already doesn't justify it.
* F-word was denied at some point, but last info I came upon is that it WAS used after all - rest was PR and common sense not to steer that pot any more.
* Last note was regarding good ole' James Allen and was a joke - no one is guilty if Allen falls in love with.

It's good to be "bad" guy in F1, and simple fact that I personally don't like him much doesn't change that.

Im not arguing all your points again, We'll just have to disagree.

Nik, If you could write a biography, at any age, knowing that it would sell in large numbers, wouldn't you do it?
The motoivation here is sales, not ego. Sales do justify it.

You're putting too much focus on this autobiography thing. It's not a big deal, the autobiography scene has changed, people tend to write several over their lives now with focuses on different periods.

JAMES ALLEN: "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

In my view, Hamilton's autobiography was a farce. He has done absolutely nothing to merit one. He was carpetbagging.

Exactly and so were the numerous biographies released at the sametime. He hasn't achieved enough to have one. It's money making. I don't like the way Hamilton is being marketed, I don't think it's F1,what happened to the proper characters who didn't do things by the book? Hamilton seems to be too clear cut atm and it seems they all in for making money atm.

The man behind this post of course. The legend James Allen

[EwanM]

I'm gonna try and meet that legend this year at Silverstone, stalk the ITV crew. When Brundle's doing his track guide i'll be running about in the back ground

[deMuRe]

James Allen makes me want to commit murder.

John Watson would do a far better job.

*wishes she was going Silverstone this year*

I was going to go, but I had no transport

Brundle: This is my favourite corner, and not because this weirdo keeps stalking me... *points to EwmanM*.
