More McLaren news just off the press. In all honesty, I'm not surprised....

Yup, doesn't surprise me either. The move was blatant, sure it's been done before and only received a drive-through, but post-race that 25 second penalty was just and fair IMO.

Lewis sure didnt win himself any points with his argressive drive at Monza either.

Regardless, this is going to make the last few races much more interesting.

Sooo stoked for the night race this weekend.

And why does everyone rag on hamilton so hard? He drives the way he feels he needs to to win, isnt that what its about?

That's how I see it. Ayrton Senna once said in an interview (I think it was with Jackie Stewart) that when racing you're always fighting for that gap for position....it is what you do to try and win. The moment you stop aiming for that gap for position, you're no longer racing.

Just an FYI about this weekends' race: these are the times I've noted down from SpeedTV's website. All times listed below are Pacific Standard Time.

Practice #2: Friday 9/26 @ 6:30AM

Qualifying: Saturday 9/27 @ 7:00AM

Race: Sunday 9/28 @ 4:30AM

Double check your local listings just to be sure.

What i would give to see Massa clinch the championship at the final race in Brazil. OMG!

Here here good sir! As for Hamilton, maybe if he had a better attitude people would like him more. My favorite racers racing right now are still Kimi and Vettel.

finally... more proof that Hamilton IS in-fact a dipshit pussied tit sucking little bitch.
(He lost the appeal btw :-D)

from the local CCA bored:
"Some pretty remarkable statements from the boy wonder, including contentions not only that he is the best driver in F1, but also that he knows more about F1 individually than Ferrari does collectively, as detailed in the following exchange"-

Hamilton asserted his case powerfully in front of Tozzi, at one point stating: "Are you a racing driver? No!

"I have been a racing driver since I was eight years old and I know pretty much every single manoeuvre in the book, and that's why I'm the best at my job.

"We are talking about a skilled driver under intense pressure making a split-second decision which no-one, not unless they are in Formula One, can comprehend."

Tozzi told Hamilton to "stop personalising" the issue as he was under instruction from Ferrari, who "know as much about Formula One as you do".

Hamilton responded: "With respect, I doubt it."

what a douche

[TDE30]

what a douche

Couldn't agree more.

[z31maniac]

Couldn't agree more.

Yup.

What an arrogant little bastard.

Hamiltons got a point. lets not forget that these guys are paid to be agressive and think/react quicker than the average joe. I think what we are seeing is a lack of tact from being a young super star.

As I said I just don't like Hamilton because as you would put it, he lacks "tact". I like the Vettel and Kubica type of young super stars more.

Hamilton is a fantastic driver but he obviously has a poor brain to mouth filter. At least he has some personality. Kubica, Raikkonen, Massa all have zero personality. Hamilton has a huge ego and is just as fun to watch out of the car as in. F1 has too many robot drivers.

For real...

[Hick]

For real, Massa and Kubica have a lot of personality. Kubica inparticular is know as a comedian amongst the drivers. And Massa has such emotion for his profession that he nearly started a fist fight with Alonso last season. These guys are not robots... cept 'Kimitron5000' as Charlie likes to call him.
