I'll take your advice Jack... it just winds me up.
He clearly thinks Shamilton is some kind of satirical, comedic master stroke, when in actual fact it's about as funny as a massive heart attack. And they're the opposite of funny.
I can put up with idiots, just not idiots who think they're clever.
Here''s a cunning trick I''ve learned through my years as one of the millions of ordinary drivers who manage not to crash and die everyday: drive slower when there''s less grip.
I don''t see what their problem is - they''re supposed to be the best drivers in the world and they can''t figure out that if there''s less grip, you just have to carry less speed into bends.
I''m getting a bit sick of their complaining actually - I wish they''d just get on with it. You don''t hear rally drivers saying, "Ooo, snow''s a bit dangerous." or, "Oooo, I don''t like the look of that black ice". They just slow down and get on with it.
Yeah, a private life is just that - private. But as soon as that private life becomes public, it's not a private affair anymore.
The ethics of printing the story are a moot point - the information is now in the public domain and it has already affected the sport. As far as anyone is concerned, the FIA president has to be - as far as it is possible to prove - whiter than white. He must be able to interact with people from all races and religions as a morally sound individual - he was asked not to attend the Bahrain GP by the Crown Prince because of moral objections from his country. That, I'm afraid, makes his position completely untenable.
Tealeaf... I'm sorry, but do you think calling him Shamilton is clever?
You are quite clearly a moron. Get back in your box and shush your mouth.
Andrew, your theory is sound, but I don't think it will come to that. Heikki and Lewis are both still rookies and they will be evenly matched this year. The Alonso Situation came out of a double world champ being unable to accept that someone in his first year was as quick as him. With these two, they're on an even footing which *should* mean it won't kick off in quite as spectacular fashion, when one of them starts beating the other.
Wilcox: "ripping money out of the pocket of British tax payers"?
I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned £2.60 per week is a small price to pay to ensure that at least one broadcaster doesn't pander to corporate sponsors and can produce informative, interesting television without having to worry about ITV-style lowest common denominator scheduling... but perhaps that's the sort of thing you like.
I'd be happy to pay that solely to rid my life of sodding tv advertising alone... never mind for programmes like Life in Cold Blood, which you just don't get on other channels. Then there's the multitude of brilliant ad-free radio stations too - the Licence Fee is an absolute bargain!
I think some of us see the old Beeb coverage through Rose-tinted spectacles - don't forget that they hardly ever showed qually and it was basically a segment in grandstand rather than a show in its own right.
Nevertheless, ITV never really 'pushed it' - they were happy to just follow the cars round the track and rake in the ad money, I suspect the BBC, as Ben said, will offer us state of the art, groundbreaking coverage this time around.
No, sport is not a dictatorship - that statement makes no sense whatsoever. You seem to be of the 'it's not the winning that counts, it's the taking part' mentality.
You're quite clearly not, and never have been, a sportsman - let alone a vaguely successful one!
I can assure you that the last thing in an F1 driver's mind is "Today I win, tomorrow you win and good luck to you." Every single person on that grid will want to decimate everyone else, every single race.
Reno, I hate to point out the obvious again, but it was Lewis's FIRST EVER SEASON IN F1.
Losing his lead in the last few races is hardly a humiliation or an embarrassment, especially given his complete lack of the brace of rookie errors that usually blight a first season in F1.
Anyone who can't recognise what a phenomenal first season Lewis had has got a serious problem and should, perhaps, consider a future as a football fan. I've always thought that one of the best things about F1 is that fans recognise a great talent when they see one.
No, if a sportsman looks upon a win as embarrassing someone, there's something fundamentally right with him. What kind of a sportsmen just wants to win? Any champion will want to completely destroy his competition.
Alonso didn't embarrass Schumi in '05 and '06 because it was Fernando's fifth season in Formula 1. He did humble him though - in a big way.
Hamilton embarrassed Alonso in 2007 because Lewis had only driven a Formula 1 car in pre-season testing and was immediately faster than his far more experienced team mate. Then of course there's the fact that Fernando completely lost the plot and Lewis managed to keep his head.
