This statement just goes to prove that anyone can see the flaws in Hamiltons actions regardless of their F1 experience .

No it just goes to prove some people care more about drivers attutides than there racing ablity.

Who cares? its not like he's going stealing from orphanages and holding up banks.

People critize him for being a PR machine and when he gets a tiny bit frustrated everyone acts like he's just insulted the pope.

Well apparantly we all think he's god, so he should easily be able to be a PR machine and a bad boy at the same time The lengths, the lengths....

Well apparantly we all think he's god:

Now that is sad and pathetic of you to imply your opinion is what we all think and to disregard everyone else's opinion as bs.

I dont think he's god, its not my opinion, its the opinion some people like to bestow on Hamilton supporters. And please stop calling me pathetic.

Reading this thread I have learned the following:

1) Driver safety is stupid, racing is dangerous so we shouldn't make it safer.

2) Despite the stewards telling the drivers that something Hamilton did was against the rules and will not be tolerated, Hamilton does nothing wrong.

3) Hamilton fans are as bad as Arsenal fans, Yankees fans, Cowboys fans, Bayern Munich fans, Real Madrid fans, etc. There boy(s) can do no wrong no matter what truly happened.

I can't say that I agree with the statement that driver safety is stupid.

Incorrect.
Hamilton has said 'if that is how the rules are to be interpretted then that is what i will do. Lesson learnt'.

[Fact Man]

Vettel had no reasons to move to the left for Hamilton.
Vettel was slightly ahead of Hamilton, therefore, had every right to keep his position.
Vettel knew that if he had moved to the left, Hamilton was going to try to pass in the pits.
It should have been Hamilton's job to slow down and realize that Vettel was not going to let him by.

But what do I know...I'm no Hamilton fan...

No matter what Hamilton does he gets drilled by the usual suspects it's bloody pathetic! Heaven forbid if it was he who jump started in China......
Nothing was wrong with the pitlane incident with vettel it was decided a racing incident nothing more nothing less!
If any other driver was involved there would be no critics that's for sure!

[hipcheck5]

And my points are proven. One little Hamilton groupie comes running in crying "Ferrari fan" and one uses a quote from Hamilton that has nothing to do with the fact that stewards made things clear to all the drivers before China.

Thanks ladies.

Hamilton could not have passed Vettel without exceding the speed limit so Vettel did not need to do what he did.
Vettel had no obligation to Hamilton to give him room but if these tyres touched there'd be the possibility of Vettel becoming airborne so to safely slow down Hamilton would have to go further right, but that would take him even closer to the pit equipment. Both extremely dangerous situations considering other people in the pitlane and on the pitwall in that pic.

haha ladies..... you're tough! Yeah Ferrari fan like I said that's all that needs to be said when it concerns a McLaren driver!
Yeah the stewards did before china so did Lewis break the stewards ruling in China? Why aren't you critical of your own teams (alonso's) pilane performance dangerous, unfair or not?

Oh, no, someone said something that wasn't fawning all over Lewis, quick attack him as a Ferrari fan. Of course you have no idea if I am a Ferrari fan or not. Just because my avatar is an autographed pic of Rene Arnoux during his Ferrari time does not mean I am a Ferrari fan. Perhaps I am just an Arnoux fan. Oh, wait that wouldn't fit your simple minded defense of your boy Lewis.

The sad part is that the rest of your defense is as unintelligent as that one. I wasn't talking about China, I was talking about Lewis driving all over the road in order to keep another driver at bay in the previous race and then the stewards letting the drivers know the regs are one move only, but somehow your boy escapes punishment.

When it comes to Alonso, I did not realize you have to criticize other drivers in a thread about your boy Lewis. But I will step up to your little challenge...Alonso should not have taken on Massa onto the pit road...but his was a short space only on the entry, Lewis did it on the entry and in pit lane.

Anything else big man or will you be sending me more private messages demanding respect since I am a "newbie?"

You are the very definition of the people I was talking about.

Hamilton eyes Button's 'easier' route

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/20042010/ ... route.html

Likened to a pit bull by triumphant McLaren team-mate Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton is looking for a less combative way back to the top in Formula One.

Hamilton finished runner-up to world champion Button in China on Sunday, with the 25-year-old Briton yet to win this season while his compatriot has celebrated two victories in four starts for his new team.

"I feel I have had great races but he (Button) has taken the right decisions and taken the easier route," the 2008 champion said.

"I have had the harder route and got good results but hopefully soon I will take the easier route."

Hamilton has won plaudits for his thrilling performances in Australia, Malaysia and China but he has also made it hard for himself.

In Australia he ran into trouble with the local police when he had his Mercedes car impounded for 'improper' driving off the track. He started 11th and battled for second place before ending up sixth after a late tangle with Australian Mark Webber.

Button won that race in Melbourne after making the right call on tyres.

In Malaysia, Hamilton started 20th after McLaren misjudged the weather in qualifying and scythed through the field to sixth, gaining 10 places in the space of four laps.

"Lewis's race craft this year has been fantastic, a joy to watch," former McLaren driver David Coulthard wrote in a column in the Daily Telegraph.

"But you do still get the feeling that something is bothering him.

"Whether it is his strained relationship with his father, a hangover from his incident with the police in Melbourne, or he has been out-psyched by the level of Jenson's performance. I don't know."

Button, who jetted off for a holiday in Thailand with his girlfriend after Shanghai, is leading the championship again and has shown that he will be a real test of Hamilton's undeniable talents.

"It's the best time of my life, so far," said the 30-year-old, who won six of the first seven races with Brawn last year. "You can write that as big as you want.

"I think we're both doing a fantastic job. It's good to have a team-mate who's that competitive. The guy will never give up. He's like a pit bull. He is going to fight until the end and I love having a team-mate who's like that," he added.

"We are going to be pushing each other very hard this year.

"It's shown over the last few races, I think."

So JB's "easier" way is less deserving than LH's way "tough" way?
Or is LH's planning on copying JB's "easy" style?
