I was starting to think I was the only one who thought Hamilton acts like a little baby. I watched from the beginning of the season, and there has only been one or two interviews with Hamilton where he wasn’t blaming other people for his problems. Even when he is the problem he still manages to try and drag other people into it, and the same announcers act like is god. The announcers are responsiblle for alot of his attitude. He makes F1 look bad when he drives over people, literally pushing people over, and the announcers don’t say a word until a week later. And even then they choose there words carefully because they can’t believe the saint actually did something wrong. I have a hard time watching anymore because he is all they show and talk about, or everyone else is compared to him. Its getting old, ungrateful millionaires who race F1.

Germany, Rain, Crane. Regulations state that cranes and other emergency service vehicles may only be used to remove vacant vehicles. A push was not available from his position. A crane should have been used to remove his car from the circuit if it was deemed to be in a dangerous position. Hamilton’s car was parked by the wall in the gravel. Hardly at risk, especially with the remainder of the lapping cars now travelling under caution. If he thought he was in a dangerous position he should have hopped his arse out so, according to the rule book, a crane may be used. Following this, the FIA cleared the decision as being legal despite their own rule book stating differently! WTF? …Hamilton gets favoured repeatedly. At the same time, an in-team issue that affected no one but McLaren which should have been left to McLaren was decided by an FIA intervention. RESULT: Hamilton Pole. The FIA also tip toed around punishing him for the pass car incident other drivers blamed him for. There are other examples also… I think he’s a huge talent but I also believe Massa, Kubica, Raikkonen, Alonso, Heidfeld, etc could all out-qualify him regularly given the same car. Massa shares the same amount of P1s thus far despite mechanical failures. Kubica has put the inferior BMW on pole and Kovalainen has also out-qualified him in 2008. This is his second year with arguably the top team. The unbearably bias English commentary duo often compare him to the late great Ayrton Senna. Well, compare Ayrton’s first year in McLaren to Hamilton’s 2nd year (give him a whole season to get used to the team/car). During the whole season (and this was battling Alain Prost with equal power) Senna achieved 13 P1s to Prost’s 2. The only other P1 was Burger’s solitary effort. The next season was a repeat, the only change being Burger’s name swapping for Patrese’s. THAT is consistency. Hamilton is good, but so is Kubica, so is Raikkonen. Massa has shown that he can match Hamilton’s best qualifying efforts despite Ferrari’s mechanical problems with gearboxes, re-fuelling, etc in both ‘07 and ‘08.

I would suggest giving LH a dummy to keep him quiet. McLaren haven’t treated Alonso any better than they did Coulthard. LH & McLaren deserve each other - Alonso deserves better.

There is only one straight way out to Championship, earning pole position.

It is not about luck or fate, that certainly shall come, and no one knows who shall be touched…

It is about being the fastest in the Q3.

This is what it matters, and until now, LH has been amazingly consistent.

Some claim that this record is undoubtly gained with car set-up and telemetrics copy right (from star FA).

Excitingly, from now, this unfounded claim shall be barred, as the copy right seems to have been outlawed after the hungarian show.

FA is double WC racer and has made a substantial contribution to McLaren.
LH is a rocky that amazes all of us, though have to admit that the sympathy for him is lowering, specially in the female club, after switching girls so rapidly (poor Jodie).

Winning the Q3 is also about fuel load, and what McLaren should do is making sure that both drivers are given equal opportunities and punish the one who makes a transgression of the team rules.

McLaren admitted that FA followed orders holding the pit position, which barred LH of a chance for his best lap (with lowest fuel load), and which was carried out to enable FA to make his best lap with less traffic…

To this point, FA is flawless.

LH admitted not following team orders, claimed to benefit alternatively each of the drivers in McLaren.

Well, crystal clear.

All about Q3.

But equal possibilities to both drivers must be strictly followed. The one who jumps over this fence must be team punished, be LH, be FA.

How exciting this Championship qualifying!

Because during the race, and apart from the take off, nothing else than fate may bring any changes.

Hello to all
All i want to say to Fernando Alonso is that i believe Mr Ron Dennis sympathizes Lewis Hamilton more than aton.So to prove who he really is and so he doesnâ€™t disappoint his Fan Club he has to try on these 6 last events to bring himself back into the championship and to take for a third time the title.This of course is up to the man himself.

The truth is alonso is ruffeled he lost it in his head i would never have expected to see him mug his team off so badly. lets not forget hamilton in the last session was faster than alonso with a heavier car. every time alonso has tried to show who is number one its backfired weather it be trying to over take from the start or messing about in the pit lane. just stick to what your good at driving fast. not letting someone past you who is being tailed by a ferrari is not an issue for calling morals into it if my memory serves me correct alonso fell of the road in Q3. Get it togeter people they are fast drivers who want to win so what if they dont like each other thats no crime neither is it a crime for the drivers to express that. Alonso did not like fissichella beating him so its no surprise he cant stand lewis. I hope LH sticks it to him for the rest of the season maybe Alonso might learn somthing valuable.

vkbaker - Thanks for your comments. Always nice to see new faces here

Lewis is doing great this season. A much better choice than having someone like Pedro de la Rosa in the car I think a lot of people are question his morals though. So no matter how good he is and how many records he can break, some people will question the person himself (as opposed to the talent).

It was the same with Michael Schumacher. One of the best ever but every 2nd race you were wondering if the rules were bent a little (mostly through the team, or through collisions, swerving etc).

Anyway, with the whole Alonso/Hamilton pit issue last race, McLaren have explained their position on the whole thing. If you continue to say Alonso was responsible and the team wasn’t holding him, no problem.. but I like to go by what the team says. And the team has said Hamilton disobeyed the team, Alonso didn’t. To say anything else is just speculation..
