I read this stupid article:

Lewis Hamilton's impressive victory at Monza did nothing to quell speculation over his future, with many pundits noting that his post-race body language was more akin to a man whose race had gone all wrong.

As the McLaren team celebrated - including Jenson Button who had every reason to be fed up after his forced retirement - "Hamilton posed stony-faced," noted Kevin Eason in The Times. "His post-race press conference would have been conducted with more verve by an undertaker.

"He greeted his cruise to victory with all the enthusiasm of a man who has just lost a £10 note and left behind him in Monza a McLaren team puzzled as to where they stand in the bewildering life of Formula One's superstar."

"The 27 year-old's subdued mood afterwards was a reminder of the baggage he carries with him, the prickliness of his character," wrote Tom Cary in the Daily Telegraph. "Hamilton mumbled his way through a few interviews, never showing much enthusiasm for the questions, even when they related to his win, before enjoying an awkward embrace with his team principal Martin Whitmarsh."

Cary added that McLaren boss Ron Dennis looked on "stony-faced" and refused an invitation to join in the team photo or don the victory shirt.

"Hamilton's uncertain future hangs like a bad smell over McLaren suggesting talks are going wrong," said Byron Young in the Daily Mirror. "He was inexplicably morose and monosyllabic as he employed his best poker face."

The guy celebrates how much he wants, is it a crime to be a bit subdued? Lewis is a guy who expects to win when a car is capable, and he knows how many points he's lost in the last week. He's probably thinking of his position in the WDC and that's not exactly something to piss in your pants in excitement for.

The Daily Mail and Byron Young of the Daily Mirror are real Lewis haters,they write mostly negative stuff about Lewis and are Jenson bottom licker's.I would never take anything those idiots write as serious,they are just as bad as Andrew Benson who write dribble for the BBC F1 team,Jake the snake and Eddie the Judas Jordan and DC the red bull groupie.

A Quote from Mr John Welsh

"Well Lewis, they have accused you of Aggression, Stupidity, Too Selfish, Arrogant, Whinging, living in Monaco; to avoid tax (like your the only Ex-pat there), too black, Not committed enough. What next? What about selling drugs in the paddocks? or trying to nick some F1 tyres late at night? You know what us blacks are like or maybe some cops might nick you for speeding on the circuit Good luck LH."

Actually the Mirror forgot to set the context for the reasons for his obvious discomfort. Apparently at the podium ceremony 'the majority' of the crowd was booing and shouting racial slurs. With that type of behaviour even after he paid respect to the crowd and country no wonder the guy was not smiling.

And not one British paper or f1 reporter even mentions it,imagine the uproar if it was "i got no grip" Button getting booed.

I think Alonso and Lewis might get on much better now. Both are more mature and let's be honest, this would be the best driver lineup on the grid.

Both are just naturally talented drivers. No bullsh1t required. 8-)


Are you kidding me? Wasn't 2007 enough evidence for you...the bullsh*t is kept under wraps as long as Lord Alonso has a crap teammate who can't touch him. But when a teammate does start to touch him, sparks fly and the whinging begins. It happened at Renault with Fisichella (in the odd race), with Trulli (even though they were friends!) and then with McLaren. And in Ferrari at the famous Hockenheim radio saga.

Everyone's cooing about how great Alonso is and how he's matured so much, well wake the f**k up, it's because he has total control in his team and his teammate is a certified lapdog. People have such short memories.

Playing the contract talks game?

To be honest, i think Lew should stick with Mc, at least for a couple yrs, then move on just so he can broaden his career. I nean he's been so long with Mclaren at some pt im thinking they get antsy and wanna explore new stimulants hehe

Him goong to Ferrari would be kinda of a blow to Mclaren... So i dont think that would be nice. But those two in ferrari would be tough to beat. Although im not sure how the Ferrari cosa nostra would manage stuff like the twittergate.... You know the mafia dont like snitches hehehe

Mercedes prob offer him lots of cash; but who lnows what they're up to.

Is Red Bull in the market?

All in all... He should feel proud of winning at Monza. Great track, great atmosphere. Classic. And he was pretty much perfect, so i guess he could have shown more happy face instead of playing the poker face.....

A well... We'll know when whatever is official.

Reedbull have already tied up their drivers, all reports I've read have indicated they've not been interested in signing Lewis too (well all reports where Lewis to Redbull were mentioned, not all reports I've read ever).


I wonder what Mark Webbers contract says it might say "You will drive for a Redbull owned car"
1st race of 2013 could begin with "Mark what you doing here Toro Rosso are the other end of the Paddock."
