And then you should look at people like Niki Lauda - undoubtedly a great champion. If you'd asked him on lap 65 what sort of a race Hamilton had had, he probably would have said it was a performance he would have been proud of. Lauda always made sure he did just enough, never went for the big risks if he could play safe and still get good points, and none other than Ayrton Senna heaped praise on the intelligent way Lauda went about things. So it's not true to say great champions always have to go for the big daring win.

Ask Sir stirling moss :wink:


The Hamilton Doubters and Haters bashed him all year saying he was immature and an idiot for going for the win last year, when all he had to do was cruise in and earn 2 points. This year Hamilton did exactly what was needed to win the championship, he pushed were he needed to and took it easy on his car. Now the doubters and haters are saying he should have went for the win. I think Hamilton showed that he learned something from last year's mistakes, but only time will tell if he's going to be considered one of F1s great champions...
He has my Vote.

well in brazil, he crused to much IMO as he almost lost it and was gifted the 5th place with glock slipping up. It might of looked better if he was crusing the race right behind Kimi...

Hamilton said his engine didn't feel right the whole race and he was afraid to push it. The engine, from my understanding was built at the same time as the one that blew up in Heiki's car. Wether this was all in his head or not we will never know, but we do know if he pushed and blew his car up he would have looked like a 2 time loser.

He only said he was afraid to the push the engine in case it blew up and his championship hopes would be over. But, then, of course, if Hamilton did go all out for the win and his engine expired because of that, fools like you would be on here laughing at him and complaining he should have driven a more mature race. Anyway, I would expect nothing less from jealous, bitter and acknowledgeable people such as yourself. According to you, Irvine could still have won the 1999 title if Schumacher slowed down for one and a half minutes to donate him second place. :rolleyes::rofl:

haha knock me again... :rolleyes:

I didnt say he should go out for the win but he could of made his position a bit more safer and convincing. him almost losing the championship because of a lackluster performance would of been more embarasing than bravely trying. dont worry I know your going to come to the rescue of LH in your next reply :thumbup:

OMG :rolleyes: talk about twisting words

Kyro get past your hate for Lewis, championships are won over the course of an entire season not the last race! and if not for the final stages where it rained he was running P4 that is convincing enough given his circumstances! you seem to have quicly forgotten how convincing his win in a China was and just as important as ever other point he earned this year!

was his effort in brazil a convincing effort for the world championship to you? He almost lost it by being over cautious and afraid of his engine (which was fine)? I would say luck played a part

What do you mean am I saying? I have already said I didn't agree with McLaren's plan. The team were right in realising they had no need to go all out and win the race, but they left Hamilton with very little room for maneuver if the s*** hit the fan. So, yeah, McLaren could have done things slightly differently at the weekend, but you win and lose together as a team. Hamilton himself has made mistakes this season.

so then you agree with point then! Hamiltons performance at brazil wasnt so great. I dont know why youve just argued with me to agree with my point :rofl:
