    Greetings Hamilton haters!!! :D What a boring load of bollocks. Seen more action on the M25. Has Massa finished yet?

    Highlight of the race was the interview afterwards when Raikkonen was asked about him pulling over to allow his very slow team mate through. He visibly squirmed with embarrassment. Yet another thing that drivers should be penalised for.

    They're penalized if they're ordered to.

    Ah, that makes it alright then. Not a case of the fastest being in the first places then. How do the officials know what's been discussed the night before? Utter nonsense, of course that was the order.

    Like the same thing wouldn't happen at McLaren (well, not the non-Alonso-Hamhead season)...

    I expect it would but it makes a mockery of what is meant to be a sport.

    Wow! Hamhead! You have a serious problem, perhaps therapy is an option :)

    What problem?
    Even the Hamhead-loving announcers didn't have a problem with the pass ;)

    But they loved, just loved the squirming embarrassing interviews.
    Dinners ready, be back later! If not have a great week!

    Later ol' chap ;)

    Kimi wasn't embarassed about letting Massa pass (he said he would before the race), he was embarassed that he had to slow down so much in order for it to happen :p

    Why so much hate for Hamilton? I'm not talking media & fans, but the people within the sport? The other drivers, Briatore, F1 stewards...!!

    Whatever people's thought are about Hamilton as a driver and as aperson, there's no doubt that there has been more interest in F1 over the last couple of seasons than there has been for a few years. And most of that is down to Hamilton.

    Others within the sport should be grateful he's put the sport back in the spotlight.

    He's been a breath of fresh air in a sport that has become more and more dull over the years.

    I for one, wish him all the best in Brazil in two weeks time. He'd be a deserving World champion and would keep the interest in the sport high for the next few years.

    Good luck Lewis.

    Jealousy, safety, arrogance, and ego. I would chalk Briatore's comments up to siding with Alonso more than plain Hamilton negativity.
    The stewards DO penalize other people, you know ;)

    Why direct him to the same question?

    I should have said I agree.

    Back to the arogance again? Here are some pics taken where my wife works this summer. It was a boiling hot day. I'm sure Lewis would have rather been elsewhere. My wife managed to blag her way into the inner section and took loads of pics. He posed without any signs of getting pissed off. Stood up, sat on the car, wherever they wanted him to and they were only staff not the press that were there (although probably in the beer tent). And in all that gear. He must have been boiling.

    Perhaps he is arrogant, who knows but I'd rather have someone like him than the woodentops who were in the pre race interview with him. They should have called it Lewis and the living dead.

    F1 needs a Valentino Rossi.

    yeah, I'm sure he'd rather be driving over corners or running red lights :p


    PS: nice shots

    Well boring race. But the fastest driver over the weekend won. And that's what I like to see-even if they race for Ferrari. ;)

    Hamilton-say what you will but he is the best young driver to come along in years and his presence has made F1 a lot more interesting. And you have to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder to be an F1 champ.

    BMW's improved performance, the Ferrari-McLaren duel and the emergence of new drivers has made this one of the best seasons yet. More winners, new tracks, and a night race. Im pleased.

    And the championship comes down to the final race where Massa has the home town crowd. If Hamilton can win there, he deserves to be champ-although they have both had good seasons. Much more exciting this way.

    Cant wait to watch this one.

    Let's not forget Alonso's two years with Renault before he went to McLaren ;)

    I don't think Hamilton will screw up in Brazil, not this year.

    The BMW-Kubica driving this year has been quite nice to see, and STR's performances have been pretty cool too. I am a bit iffy on Vettel's move to RBR next year, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Did you see Peter Windsor's short interview with Bernie on the grid in Shanghai.
    PW asked Bernie if there was any progress on a U.S. grand prix.
    Bernie:
    Nothing new
    PW: would you like to see there be a US Grand Prix?
    Bernie: well if someone can come up with a reasonable package, yes we will have a race.

    Douchebag.

    The asshole also said that the Montreal organizers have only paid 1/2 of what they owe for the last three years. The MTL party says there was a commercial disagreement for the 2008 event only.
    Extortion.
