Q: At the Reebok launch the other day you were quoted as saying you thought you were fitter than Jenson. Is that the case?
LH: I’ve noticed that Jenson has a bit of a belly and so… I’m only joking! I was just trying to be positive.

JB: They’re called muscles.

DC: Place your bets and go win the fight.

LH: Well, you’ve just done some event recently. What was that?

JB: It was a triathlon.

LH: Yeah, I’m not sure whether I could do a triathlon, so I’m not going to say that I could beat him at that, but generally I work my arse off… you work your arse off to be fitter than me, and you’ve got to believe that you’re fitter than me and the same way the other way.

JB: I do believe…

LH: Yeah, so, what I think…

JB: I must admit, I do believe.

LH: It would be good to have a challenge.

JB: I’m sure we can work something out there. If you don’t like triathlons… The good thing is that you’ve got three different activities.

DC: Run a lap of the track.

JB: Exactly, we could try different things. I’ve got a triathlon on July 27th if you’re interested.

LH: Where’s your strongest point?

JB: Umm, all of them! And yours? We could do it for charity, I’m sure, as well. Yeah?

LH: Yeah? Well, shall we get this…

JB: We’ll get DC in there as well.

LH: Yeah, get DC as well.

DC: I’ll be the referee.

LH: You can be the bottle-holder.

JB: Yeah, exactly, yeah.

Q: So I think we’ve got the answer there: DC is going to be the referee and you two are going to do Bath, is that right?
LH: I’m not putting myself into it, I don’t know. I’ll probably be working or doing something else.


DC: He’s throwing down a man challenge, you can’t turn down a man challenge.

LH: We’ll see, we’ll see. We’ll talk about it personally afterwards.

Q: (Ian Stafford – The Mail on Sunday) The first question is: is this going to happen or not, guys? Come on! Yes or no?
LH: Well, me, I’m a competitor, so I’m for one to say yes, but I’ve got people behind me who may…

JB: What if I say £10,000 to the charity of your choice if you beat me? What do you think?

LH: Are you trying to steer me off this championship or what?

JB: It’s the only thing I can be competitive in at the moment. Think about it.

LH: Yeah, I will.

I think that JB would quite easily win a 'tri.' comp against LH. As I understand it, LH has not done any athletic comp. before and JB loves it, even though he is new to it. On his first 'olympic' standard 'tri', at Windsor, he came 117 out 1170 entrants, which is fantastic. Prior to this JB had only done 1 shorter distance 'tri'. Virtually all 'tri' atheletes are good and fit (as opposed to 1/2 marathon runners who are often not very fit) so that result for JB was excellent, he would have been in the company of some very good 'tri - ers'
My 'other' sport is long distance running, and I've done a few 'tri's' as well so I know what its like. To compete in a try you need a very good strategy to do your best in the element that you are best at. LH would, I think, lose to JB because of a lack of experience, not, neccesarily because of a lack of fitness.

Lewis may be a lot of things, but he is by no means as fit as Jenson or Mark Webber. He's not unfit by any stretch of the imagination, but JB and MW are by far the fittest drivers.

Anyway, Anthony has cancelled whole happening with following statement:

"Unfortunately for Lewis, we are withdrawing him from this," Hamilton Snr said. "We are in the middle of a championship and that is the focus of our attention."

Fail.

Incidentally, what makes Hamilton Sr. think he knows what's best for Jr.'s championship chances? Further, how is a charity atheltic event going to impact his racing?

Gain, fail.

risk of injury! its a logical choice, post season would be the better time to do it!

[texasmr2]

Yes I agree there is just to much at stake and Lewis need's to focus on racing. JB has nothing to loose it's sad to say.

[FJuan]

Lewis will never win a MAN challenge as he is still a boy.
Only boys have their Dad telling them what to do.
Why doesn't Anthony Hamilton get a life of his own.
I much prefer Jenson as a person over Lewis.

Lewis is already not focusing on racing and making plenty of costly errors, a friendly charity event is hardly going to lose him a championship.

[texasmr2]

All I'm saying is he does not need any outside distraction's at this crucial juncture.
