Anybody notice they had "the chain" playing when Hamilton came out? Hope that means the BBC are going to use it again next year.

Oh my god, i seriously thought Hamilton had it won! (i think) Mansell and Hill both got it when they won the title..!

And they even won it when they didn't win the titles won!

You mean like in 1994? Didn't Hill get it that year too?

British public must be racist, that's why Hamilton didn't win.

Yep, and also Mansell in 1986.

And also unlike Mansell and Hill, there are quite a lot of british people who don't really like Hamilton.

No way! Really? I wonder why?

Yep. Anyone who doesn't like Mansell or Hill is just wrong anyway, so their opinions don't matter.

To be fair to Hamilton though, i reckon he deserved to win it last year rather than this year in hindsight...

Chris Hoy, worthy winner.

[McLaren Fan]

Chris Hoy, worthy winner.

I agree.

Cos we have poo gutter press and stupid people who believe them!

[racechick]

Second! AGEN!! But he did have tough oposition this year and when Damon got it in 94 it was like a consolation prize by the public for being cheated by Michael. We dont like cheats.
Yes Chris Hoy is a fantastic athlete and I cant say he didnt deserve to win. I just like Lewis more

[darwin dali]

Sounds familiar

[EwanM]

Sadly Id like to say it wasn't a popularity contest.
But most things are these days. Thanks alot Simon w***er Cowbell

Hoy must be pretty popular then

Flying the flag and all that, esp the blue and the white.

[McLaren Fan]

Aye, it was good to see a Scot do well - fellow Celts and all that - even if Hoy is from Edinburgh.

(I'll have to stop all these anti-English jokes, for a girl I like is from London! )

Chris Hoy, worthy winner.

never heard of him

never heard of him

He wouldn't appear on the Aussie sporting register.

To be fair, that's not the only reason people don't like Hamilton. My boyfriend really doesn't like him, but he doesn't read tabloids and he's not (too ) stupid. He just doesn't like Hamilton's attitude, and thinks he's very arrogant. Oh, and he really disliked the ITV wank-fest over LH every race-weekend, though he's not rational enough to admit that that wasn't Hamilton's fault .

Back to the topic -
I had a feeling it would be down to Hoy and Hamilton, both of them were worthy (actually, all ten nominations were worthy, but anyway) of it. Having the Olympics this year meant there was some really tough competition.
