It's gone beyond just defending Hamilton here though, it's coming out as attacks on Nico and Mercedes now. I'm a fan of Lewis and not Nico but don't think much of some of the things being said. I don't really see anything wrong with Nico asking when he's going to be let past after the team had told him Lewis would do that, however, I think it should have dawned on him by the end of the race and it's not something he should've gone on about in the interviews and his video blog. As for Mercedes, unless people think they're risking his life by messing with his brakes and fuel lines I don't see any reason to suspect any favouritism on their part, considering the failures he's had and some mistakes of his own making he's in a pretty good position in the championship where he wouldn't be without a combination of some amazing driving and full support from the team.
What's Ryry's personality got to do with anything? And his age? And how he looks? let's stick to arguing the point.
Your perception of the forum being pro Hamilton is probably arrived at Because Hamilton supporters on here( and on Twitter, and on the Merc Facebook page and on other forums) won't just shut up and lie down when Hamilton is unfairly attacked. Why? Because we've had practise ever since he first joined F1 at defending him against( we don't like his dad, he's only doing well because he's in a McLaren, he's spoilt, anyone could do what he does, he makes mistakes all the time, he's sulky, he's arrogant, he's favoured, he cant focus, he's thick, he can't save tyres, he can't think through a race, he won't be able to petrol save, he's only interested in music, he's a waster, he doesn't work with the mechanics, he can't set the car up, he's distracted by his dogs, he's distracted by his friends, he just wants to party, we don't like his clothes, his girlfriends a whore, she's bad for him, we don't like his earrings, etc etc etc)
When we pick that sh!t up on the radar we home in. Maybe we go in too hard? Maybe we are over defensive? but it comes as I say from years of practise. We support Lewis and will always defend against the unfair things that are said.
You know what I think Roth? I believe you when you say you like Hamilton but wanted to point out things you felt about him. That's your opinion and that's fine ( I disagree but that's fine too) . I then think that in defending your stance against the backlash, you went too far and backed yourself into a corner, a corner that isn't really of your choosing and doesn't really represent your position. Just my thoughts there.

To use my phone in the car I deleted all my German contacts, it's now Hans free.
