Lewis lives in a dreamworld, so he can say whatever he wants and it makes perfect sense to him.

Just when I thought Hamilton couldn't be anymore of a douche, he goes and redeems himself. I hate him with a passion.

[Hick]

Tarnished image? I don't think that reeks of cheating, I think it is just racing. It's not like he overtook Alonso and then lied about it like SOMEONE did.

lol

Ahh thats bullcrap! I knew Damon Hill wouldn't let Schumi's move slide! What did Hamilton say?

[Jean]

Great race, I think the best one so far this year! Awesome weekend for Mark!

Kubica was also fricking amazing!

Alonso too, damn!

[Jean]

Indeed a great race, but once again, Speed elects to cut the post race coverage of a great win by Webber to bring us NASCAR coverage. Lame.

The 25-year-old McLaren driver was told during the race that he would need to adjust his brakes balance and was clearly amazed that the contest had not yet reached half distance.

Hamilton said: "We're only halfway through the race. What the hell? Do you want me to race these guys or look after the car?"

I had to rewind the race and listen to it twice lol.

I think Fernando deserves some credit in this race, starting in the pits and moving up to 6th... bravo, Fernando, bravo... some very good driving by him today. and kubica proving he deserves the spot with scuderia ferrari. all in all very good race today.

Indeed - he drove a helluva race. Coming in to the pits on lap 2 when the safety car was deployed so he could change to the prime tires (thus satisfying the 2 compound per race rule) was a stroke of strategical genius by Ferrari. Since refueling is gone, just get the durable rubber on as soon as you can and go for it. When everyone else eventually came in for their tire change, Fernando sped on by. Great work not only on the driver, but the entire team. That's what F1 is all about.

In contrast, Hamilton's sharp tongue to his team over the radio when they warned him of the braking issue sure didn't win any points. Its not the first time he did something like that.....I can't imagine some of the exchanges that took place once the race was over and everyone was back in the motorhome. He needs another reminder that without the team that built his car, he would be going nowhere. Team & driver are inter-dependent in Formula 1. You have to have both to make it work.

totally agree! this isn't his first time getting lippy with his team. 2 races ago he blamed his team for some bs thing. Lewis Hamiliton is a piece of crap and im happy he's out of the points running for now.

Hamilton needs a manager who will step in and correct him, keep him from saying these things over the radio. Its fine to be upset in th heat of the moment but he is very un-professional. He has had some bad luck this season, but everyone has look at Vettel. Im sure other drivers have had some verbal toungue lashings fr their teams when the garages are closed but to do it over the radio just makes him look dumb and out of self control.


Also I thought the race was boring for the most part. With the exception of Alonso there was no passing on the track other than the start. Dont get me wrong it was a good race from a technical standpoint but rather boring if you are looking for action.

[quickervicar]

Hamilton surely didn't win any points with Matchett with his outburst.

Good race. Turkey will probably be a letdown in comparison.
