WRONG but you know it all so you can believe what you want bud. Keep blindly sticking up for the chosen one you deserve each other.
I have learnt to just let you wallow in your own excrement, so get that cork out mate - Ready aim fire away.

prove me wrong

everything you write is against Lewis, yet i can 100% guarantee you would not write half the s*** about the SAME driver if he was in your beloved red team!

and Nikon you can think that, but you know what..........

On this matter, I agree completely with Fact Man. Hamilton's arrogance is sickening, and, saying as he does truly believe that he is God's gift to the earth, he should be judged accordingly. Once again, the Hamilton family's false modesty has been revealed. The whole pack make me want to throw up.

You don't say! You think he's arrogant, never have guessed that.
And arrogance in a racing driver is such an unlikely thing isnt it. I think all racing drivers should be meek and mild.

ps They all think theyre the best-waste of time them being there if they didnt

Well I don't see Kubica, Kimi, Heikki, Felipe... acting like Lewis. And even their fathers are not assaulting kindergartens with rented supercars

I would agree that every racing pilot must have an ego and half, but looking at current generation, Lewis is in his own league. Unfortunately his driving (compared to competition) is not that advanced.

Not that advanced? You mean advanced over the competition I presume. There wont be a big difference at top F1 level i grant you that, they will all be pretty close. But Lewis only needs to be advanced over the rest by a small margin, so thats fine

So now its also lewis' fault that his father crashed his car. Or are you saying its lewis' fault that kimi, heiki Felipe,and Robert's fathers do not crash cars??? They might crash cars. They might be god awful drivers. We get to hear about Lewis' father because he is lewis' manager and because the media stalk him. Maybe the other guys get it in their country. What in this world has any of that got to do with Lewis' driving?????

Not accomplished anything? oh you mean hasnt won a world title or 7...? 1.5 season long career compare at the end mate

I'm not sure I agree with that. I feel you have to earn your right to have an opinion, well, ones as strong as Hamilton's.

I think having only a sole tyre manufacturer is bad for the sport, too. A tyre war would create many more situations where cars that are normally stuck in the mid-field can take podiums and even race wins. Look at Spa '98 as one example. The Bridgestone tyre was a bad tyre to be on for that race. Despite being the faster car that season, the McLaren was terrible on that track in those conditions. The Goodyear, however, was great, with two Goodyear-shod cars taking up first and second places and most of the other finishers were also on that tyre. In fact, all the cars using Goodyear tyres finished in the points-scoring positions.

So I think that would definitely be something for the FIA to change. Not strictly a regulation, but still something which has an impact on the racing.

I agree that a tyre war would be a good thing for the sport, but I'm not so sure that its impact would be all that great. A similar situation to what we have with the new tyre rules and qualification format would happen, whereby we are guessing the strategy of certain teams or drivers rather than seeing a lot more overtaking. Borrow the odd race, seasons with more than one tyre manufacturer has been about which tyre suits a particular circuit, climate and/or which will suffer less degradation. Of course that means there will be more funny results and that the championship battle will be prolonged in most cases, but the levels 'on-track action', i.e. overtaking that people seem to be crying out for, will not really be increased.

My own view is that overtaking's frequency in other racing series and its importance are overstated. There are nowhere near the levels of overtaking outside of Formula One than is made out by some people. And Formula One is about more than overtaking anyway, indeed, that has always been the case. The sport is also about engineering, teamwork and strategy, for example. Whatever way the FIA poke around with the rules, overtaking is not going to become Formula One's main feature. If people can't appreciate the other aspects of the sport, such as the quality of engineering, then they should not watch it.

I think theres lots of things to appreciate about F1 and some people will appreciate one thing more than another. I sort of appreciate the technology, in so much as i recognise how skillful the designers, mechanics and engineers are, but im not a tecnical person and do not really understand all the details (not completely stupid about it mind!I unnderstand a lot of it) More important for me is driver skill, im more of a people person and so overtaking is important to me. Though I agree its not the only thing. However people will take from F1 what they enjoy and thats fine. No resaon to not watch if you get enjoyment even if its only from certain aspects of the sport.
Talking of overtaking in other fromulas- Lewis overtook 18 cars in one race in GP2 Hope he can replicate that next week

How many goals do you see in a soccer match? Right, about as many as you see overtaking maneuvers in F1, so there you go

Yup, applies to football, too - they just count them 6 points and then have the players kick an extra point

It's fine saying that, but there have been so many processional races over the past few years that it's getting dull. You have to admit that the amount of overtaking that has happened in previous years has been awfully low. There have also been races where there haven't been that many fights - the leader(s) drives off into the distance and the rest of the cars spread out and go round in circles. I'd just like to see things a little closer, with drivers putting the guy in front under pressure more often.

I agree that the races need to become closer, but I just feel people are overrating overtaking's importance and overstating its frequency. Even in the turbo era and the early 1990s, which I think were Formula One's hey day, overtaking was not all that key to a race result.

Yeah, I think your right.

bud I don’t think I need to prove anything to you. I sleep quite well at night knowing you don’t agree with me.

This is all cause and reaction mate. I am only reacting to all the carp that you & a few other on here go on & on & on & on about Hammy, not to mention the British media.
So its simple STFU & surprise surprise you will not get much of a reaction from me.
But that is not completely true because Hammy just makes it too easy to bag the crap out of him; he is a first class w***er. Yes very talented but still a manufactured arrogant pretentious w***er & you prove to me who on this earth comes close to him.
Any successful sportsman needs a bit of an attitude but what he comes out with defies belief but of coarse a true lamb would not see it that way.
So just muster up the troops mate.
