seems he’s already pushing it beyond its limits

Just something more for him to whinge, blame, moan about.

Who?

loss of rear brake pressure according to Brawn

why are there so many people wanting Hamilton to fail?

Who?
Literally PMSLing. That’s a classic.

Literally? Ew.

They’ll be the same ones slagging off David Beckham for having the bare-faced effrontery to make a huge donation to charity

Basically they’re bitter, twisted and joyless bastards who resent anyone who has become successful through both their god-given talent and good old fashioned hard work. Just ignore them

Literally, yes, see here. 🙂

Get over it mate, for your own good. That discussion’s dead. Let’s all start again anew.

Lewis will push an inferior car to it’s absolute limit, in his desire to win. That’s what marks him out as a true great. There are perhaps only two or three others who can do that in F1; Alonso, Vettel and Raikkonen (and maybe future stars like Perez and Maldonado). I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lewis getting podiums and even winning races this year, if he can get to grips with the car. Alonso was narrowly beaten last year, with a significantly inferior car to the Red bulls and McLarens (and even the Renaults and Mercedes’ at times). Lewis won races in spite of the rotten luck he had with mechanical failures.

Don’t write off a great driver just yet; the season’s not even started.

Blimey! Something positive. That’s a new one for you. Did it hurt? 😆

Not necessarily – I used to be a big LH fan (and am a Beckham fan), but found his attitude and demeanor over the past few seasons increasingly less attractive. He is still an awesome driver and deserves respect (I was having mild bit of joshing and waiting for the flames 😉 SoH failure or what? ). But as a person, rather than a driver, I would prefer to see Button do well. More charming, less whinging and a triathlete!

I wouldn’t say I want him to fail, there are just more ‘attractive’ people in the sport to support.

But like Mark Webber, Jenson seems a bit too much of a ‘nice guy’ to really have that hunger and ruthlessness it takes to win, his World Championship notwithstanding, in comparison with Alonso, Lewis, Vettel, and formerly Schumacher, Senna, etc. Both the latter were loved and hated in equal measure, and neither were favourites with their contemporaries, but the were both ruthless winners. And it seems Lewis has a bit of that.

Go Fernando! He’s a cyclist, see?

TH – im assuming you insider knowledge of both Lewis and Jenson to make such statements on their character and personalities. 🙄

theflatboy; you’re forgetting Vettel’s first F1 victory. And it wasn’t in a top car. 😉

it wasnt in a top car
It was a bloody good car (replica of the works Redbull!)

Only twice have I shouted/screamed or become emotional when drivers won a title.

Damon Hill
Lewis Hamilton

GO LEWIS! He’s finds the limits, going over them to test the car properly. These sessions aren’t parades you know. They are to find out balance/etc etc.

Massa just clocked quite a good time, me thinks Alonso may be walking away with the title at the end of the season…

Crikey, get a grip. FWIW, yes met Button and was charming, chatty and much like his TV personna. No cant say the same for Lewis and am only relying on WYWIWYG. Totally false (potentially) but we do that with most people. Blimey, there really are some major SoH failures going on at the moment.

FWIW – I would like LH to do well, but would rather see Button win. I doubt that this will be the case as there are better drivers out there. But there are times when the best overall team, rather than individual drivers win and I hope that this will be McLaren in 2013. Why? (Yes mashie another bit of illogical thinking coming here), I used to live close to their HQ many years ago.

Anyway time to leave the pit wall…..

p.s. thought Balotelli was a bit of (insert whatever), never met him mind 😉

Massa just clocked quite a good time

barely into the 19s is not a good time today, over a second down on Grosjean

Jenson Buttons girlfriend..

you want to nuke her from space?

you want to nuke her from space?

It’s the only way to be sure….

there’s a girl in our office looks like jessica michibata

Start as you mean to go on!

Lewis will drive the wheels of the car, get frustrated, risk do or die manoeuvres and complain its everyone else fault… Cant wait for the carnage

Hamilton , like Alonso and Schumacher is a great driver.

Hamilton, like Alonso and Schumacher is a bit of a ****.

Pretty spot on. All the greats have a touch of the ruthless about them.

FWIW I hope LH does well. Mercedes deserve a bit of success. The have hung around as a works team longer then a lot of other manufacturers.

EDIT Actually its only their 4th season as a works team, seems longer

Williams must be having some sort of issue, they only seem to have done a handful of laps in last year’s car

The have hung around as a works team longer then a lot of other manufacturers.

A whole 3 years in their present stint 🙂

EDIT: There’s rumour aplenty at the moment that they’re trying to untangle themselves from running the team too.

You are Lewis Hamilton’s Mum, and I claim my €5

Early bath again for Merc

Is that a euphemism?

Hello

While we are on the subject of Lewis H, anyone remember the time he lied to the stewards?
That was when I stopped cheering for him.
Really hope it’s Button’s year again.

Basically they’re bitter, twisted and joyless bastards who resent anyone who has become successful through both their god-given talent and good old fashioned hard work. Just ignore them and then then **** off to a tax haven and then they swap to an inferior team for even more money.

He is a bit of a moaner as well tbh
Sacked his own dad as well iirc

Apart from that he is ace and as Binners notes only “joyless bastards” resent him

Lewis’s talent is amazing. Hes so entertaining to watch- he has utter speed that is tempered by rashness. I’ve always said if he can control his bloody head he’d be unbeatable but out of the car stuff really seems to come into his work.

Its a bit of a concern that neither Caterham or Marussia seem to have made up any ground on the mid-field pack. I know its early days in testing but the signs aren’t good.
