Comments on: Lewis tried to get Webber Penalized? http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/10/05/lewis-tried-to-get-webber-penalized/ F1 news and pictures mixed with fun Fri, 16 May 2008 03:36:25 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Maya http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/10/05/lewis-tried-to-get-webber-penalized/#comment-6458 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:44:41 +0000 http://www.formulaf1.com/2007/10/05/lewis-tried-to-get-webber-penalized/#comment-6458 Oops, he did it again. Can someone explain to me, plz, WTF is going on. He uses two sets of tires, even though it's against the rules and he doesn't receive any kind of punishment. This is getting really ridiculous....if Jenson and Sato were the only ones who did this, they'd probably be punished big time. But, not golden boy, he's becoming untouchable and the number of his "incidents" just keeps on growing. Oops, he did it again.

If he's wondering why people are starting to dislike him just take a look at that comment how arrogetnt is that that he can wipe himself clear of any guily and place blame on the man who got hit from behind, when he himself the whole time was driving behing the sc with the intention of outbreking his opponenst to put them off. i don't think either mcclaren driver should win the championship this year as they used ferrari data to improve the car, but if i had a preference it would be alonso for the mere fact that he hasn't ruined webbers season and then insult him to clear his own name.

This is inevidible, but must be taken in context; yes, Lewis is exceptional, but we haven't seen him perform in an inferior car - at any stage of his career. Lewis may not have overstepped the the boundaries of on-track etiquette, but he's certainly on the way. Schumi went beyond the envelope because he new he could get away with it in the context that F1 needed him and Ferrari more than a sense of fair play.

And I would hate to see him win the championship because all of the things he's done and he had it so easy. i'm not trying to deny that he's good, but he didn't exactly have a hard job....he was given a great car and a great team behind him the entire season. He certainly brought a lot of drama,and I thought that after MS left, there will be no more "drama", but now I look at it, I'd prefer him on track more than Lewis.

I read some comments from Bernie Eccelstone, something to the extent of "F1 needs Lewis Hamilton to be champion". It makes me wonder how much of this season was fabricated by Ecclestone to increase media and interest in F1? I for one am content with F1 racing for it is and certainly don't need or want the drama that came along with this season. I will however happily watch Hamilton take the Drivers Championship this year ;) and believe that he won it fair and square....it has been a long trip for Mclaren fans. Of course Alonso could also win it for Mclaren...but I can hear a faint cracking sound and I think it might be the pressure getting to him.
