looks like he was speeding near a playground when it happened - he's old enough to know better

Yes mate. Drive past that spot everyday on my drive to the office. Frank Warren the boxing promoter lived in a house not more than 500yds from that spot until a year or so ago. He's still fairly local to me

He finished 2nd in his rookie year in F1 I would say that clearly says the guy can drive.

CLEARLY not an F1 fan............or a motorsport fan for that matter.

NYONE who knows anything about the sport knows that he is someone who only comes around once in your lifetime.

Like him or hate him................Motorsport fans know he is fucking awesome......FACT

Your just a cock jockey imho

if he had come into Mclaren and not placed in any races or fallen off at every 5th corner then yes that would be true

But in his first year using the same car he outperformed a double world champion - the hype was well worth it , the talent certainly there , the rating , well he is clearly one of the worlds future greats in F1 , and the pay goes hand in hand with that

Ferrari and BMW were both implicated in cheating last season. If they took 2 points off Hamilton between them because of it, they cheated him out of the title.

You have to laugh at some of the comments in this thread, Lewis can't drive, porsche carrera GT's are shit etc... They don't even warrant a response to be fair, I would call them cunts but cunts have a use

Come back when you know what you are talking about
You have just come on a public forum where the vast majority of contributors know a lot about cars and motorsport in general and you have made yourself look a right tit with a comment like that.

Having said that tho, you are entitled to your opinion so please defend yourself and offer some reasoning behind your opinions. would love to here it

but they wanted to boot him out of the season altogether because of all the info that was gleaned from the other teams and passed onto him via alonso
as soon as that stream of information dried up, there was a marked downturn in his "abilities" to get round the track

put him into a super aguri or force india car to find out what he would have ended up positionwise last year and then come and make the "he's the best driver out there" comments

i'm not doubting that he is fantasticly talented, because he obviously is, but he is lacking in the one thing that makes other drivers great, and that's the talent to make a shit car look good

look at all those drivers who were in with a shout at winning the title when they were with ferarri and maclaren from previous years and see how far they have fallen when put into an "also rans there to make up the numbers" team, rubens and coulthard as examples

ok, so who did his old man bin the car then? i can't find any sort of explanation as to what happened other than he got stuck trying to reverse it out of the playground

From that idiotic statement it shows you clearly know nothing about F1, thats not your fault however, just makes you look embarressing when you post.
