Great drive today and didn't take any shit off alonso!  Good work

Looking forward to hearing what Alonso says in the press conference  :D

Was a great drive; World Championship is looking very promising.

It does indeed, I am surprised alonso hasn't lost it yet.  He will, he hates hamilton

Alonso seemed quite gracious in defeat to be fair, but I will not be surprised if he kicks up a fuss again.

I think the fact he went to McClaren expecting to be top dog with a rookie alongside him, only for the rookie to piss all over his bonfire makes it a tad worse.

I don't think McClaren are favouring anyone, I just think as it stands Hamilton is a better driver.

Alonso was on a shorter 2nd stint but he wasn't quick enough for them to justify Hamilton letting him past.

He just doesn't like losing (which is a good thing) but I can imagine he's not that happy at the moment.

Hamilton is looking really good.

Especially considering it's his first year! He's gone from strength to strength and I can't see him stopping the way he's going.

7 Starts and 7 Podiums is amazing.

It just depends how he's affected when at some point his car lets him down. I think he'll be fine; he's handling the pressure better than Alonso at the moment in my opinion.

I bet Alonso is annoyed the team clearly favour Hamilton

What basis do you have for saying that?

for a start the tactics today re: the fuelling of Alonsos car

I missed the race - booo!

go on, that means nothing.

Alonso couldn't get ahead of Hamilton at the start, and Alonso came in first due to having less fuel, and being the norm in any Team. The incident in the middle of the race had nothing to do with team instructions. The only reason Alonso didn't pass was due to brilliant defensive driving by Hamilton, something he had every right to do. If roles were reversed Alonso would of done exactly the same, and would of had every right to do so.

Your constant attempts to belittle what hamiltons achieving don't hold much water with me im afraid.

Hahaha. Are you married to him? Do you let him jizz on your face and then shit in your mouth?

Blacks shouldn't be allowed in F1.

Against FIA rules.

 :groan1:

Bloody bigot.........

Spot on!

The boy is a class act. A very mature driver for his age who has remained cool through out every race. Im sure there will be a twist in fortune at some point but fair play, he will be a legend of the sport in years to come.

i reckon he'll be the next Shu!  :wink:

Would be quicker if he had a Honda engine.

Fuck right off.

Mercedes > Honda

Be interesting to see what it would be like if every driver had the exact same style of car so its all completely even.

In F1 i agree Sam. In the auto industry, Honda make some of the finest engines in the world.

meh

20 years ago 20 white men chasing a black man was called the Klu Klux Klan. Today it is called Formula 1.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

If you wrote that yourself take a bow.  Superb!!

And yet I'd bet you've didn't watch much of the A1GP Series...

Everyone seems to says that but 100 million watch F1 worldwide and about 3 million watch the A1GP - that's says it all

Its just nice to see someone British doing well

Cant wait to see him falling out of a club with a page 3 bird on his arm though!

I dont think that will happen, the man oozes class and has been brought up well from the looks of it

Ill always remember when Jenson Button first started out - I remember reading a magazine interview with him and his lovley girlfriend from Frome saying how fame and money wont change him and how he is so in love with his girlfriend

2 months later he was yachting in Monti Carlo with a model!

I do hope Lewis stays focused and on the straight and narrow.  Lats thing we need is another Button

Makes me laugh. If any of you lot became mega rich, there is no way on this god forsaken earth that it wouldn't change you.

I'd be straight down the Ferrari garage and then off to buy ridiculously expensive things like all of you. Don't kid yourselves.

There's a big difference between being rich and being a nob.  Just because people have tons of cash it doesn't mean they need to act like a twat.  Paul scholes is perhaps the best eg in sport - he's very wealthy and sucessful but entirely unchanged from what he'd be like if he worked a normal job.  Button revels in the playboy role, Hamilton seems to have his head screwed on thus far but you never know how he'll turn out once his huge status really kicks in.

Well if buying a Ferrari, going on alot of holidays and wearing flash clothes makes you a knob then i'd be one.

The way I was trying to look at it Ralphy was that perhaps if Jensen Button had focused more on his driving than on being a playboy he might be more sucessful (and rich!) than he is now!

Perhaps your right yeah.

I thought you were implying that he should have lived a normal life still. It's impossible when you're that famous and rich.

I'm sure you'd buy a few Gucci handbags :wink:

I don't consider material possessions to be a sign of being a nob - I think it's only natural to spend more money the more you have.  But your personality doesn't have to change unrecognisably IMHO.  I can imagine Button being the type to play the old 'Do you know who am I?!' card.

Oi, twat bollocks. Both Alonso's stops were quicker.... Favouritism my cunt.

i think he or she is trying to wind you up barry...!

I'm an easy target! :D Any excuse to pretend to be angry....  :oops:

Hugo Boss for me too!!!

Back to the point, Hamilton is ace. The fact that Alonso couldn't get past him had nothing to do with the McLaren team holding him back via remote control, despite what Dachaeur might tell you

Nor should honkies...(hides from lumps)
These races should be contested by yellow men with slitty eyes.

 :D

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Im getting even more confused....Is Hamilton half honkie or half black or neither?
Or did the yellow slitty eyed people manufacture him in a petrie(sp) dish?

That joke was originally told about Tiger Woods and the US Open and was told by a certain..........................................................................





Bernard Manning!


You fucking racist! :wink:

Thats fucking funny STFC4LIFE i like it.

You would, racist pig!

All this PC bollocks gets on my tits. If you fart these days your a racist.

If i whistle at a fit bird am i a sexist??

What about if i call someone an old cunt? Am i ageist ?

er, yeah.

and the old git and the bird would beat you up.

not that i really care.

Thanks for clearing that up.

What can you do these days?

have respect for everyone around you (don't say anything)

don't be a nob. (don't do anything)

So respect everyone and don't do anything??

yep. and i'm ginger so you can't pick on me either.

Do you have any other disabilities ?

Apart from being ginger.

i've got no legs either.

Fuck i'm sorry.

I can't imagine the pain.

they might just be numb from alcohol.

Has anyone pointed out that he clearly doesn't need a car to win yet? Black people are super fast.

the fat ones aren't.

That's what they want you to think.

I hope he fucks up and Magny Cours, I'm getting sick of ITV sucking his cock so much. I want to know about Formula One, not just Lewis Hamilton. He's not done anything to suggest he's particularly special. It's all very easy in the best car, at Montreal he was lucky with pit-stops and safety cars, and at Indianapolis Alonso could've easily had him but couldn't because they're team-mates. I agreed with Niki Lauda's comments on Hamilton's over-aggression.

He certainly has the best car, but to be 10 points ahead of your double world champion team-mate in your first year in F1 is quite special. Mind you I think Alonso is overrated...

I agree he can't be elevated to "greatness" until he has achieved something (i.e. win world championship). May take a year or two for that, but he's in with a chance this year.

As for over aggression/doing anything to win. Didn't do Schumi much harm taking out Hill in order to win the world championship

Bollocks. F1 has always been like that, schumacher had the best of everything and got all the limelight..If you dont like itv supporting him then turn the sound down

Not to that extent he didn't, nor did Hill when he was at Williams. It's just Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton, 5 seconds of something non-Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton's Dad, Hamilton, "Wow isn't Hamilton the best thing since sliced bread", Hamilton's Dad, and so on.

I have stopped watching the pre-race build-up now. It's got ridiculous

Why cant we celebrate someone being good!

Because it is easier to put them down,typical of some people in this country.We moan that we dont have successful sportsmen and then when we do and the nationll press get behind them and promote their success you get people slagging them off  :nuts:

I'm not stopping anyone. Going to wait to see if he has what it takes before shooting my load.

I just want to hear about Formula One as a whole, not solely about some kid who's done fairly well in the best car after 7 races.

In F1 nowadays its 95% car, 5% driver, and Alonso has never been that special.

Two times world champion says different

Only just seen this. It didn't do Schumi much harm in terms of what he achieved on paper, but in terms of being a true legend, I'd compare him to Maradonna. Horrible cunt was Schumacher, I'm sure the majority of non-germans hated him too.

That's like saying Mika Hakkinen was something special.

mike hakkinen  used to race for my friend's father's formula three team.

Again, you must be pretty good to be a twice world champion.

It's not like that at all. I want him to do well as much as the next man. It's just a shame ITV have to go ridiculously over-board in bumming him and totally neglect everything else.

Ok, maybe Hakkinen was a bad example, because he was actually a bit good. Probably best to compare with the Williams wins in the mid-90's. Villeneuve's and Hill's titles didn't really need particularly special drivers.

Hill was good, villeneuve was just in the right place at the right time

F1 is shit anyway.

BTCC is proper motorsport.

dont you dare turn this into a car thread

Both got into F1 on their fathers' names. Hill wasn't really much more than OK. Much like Raikonen, who is being shown up for the fraud he is.

That would be true in the 90s, but it turned shite and nothing more than glorified 2nd rate stock car racing ever since they changed the rules and when cars like the vauxhall astra and the honda civic started racing as factory cars. It's all a bit laughable now.

The DTM (despite only 2 makes being in it) on the other hand....

P.S. Matt Neal's a cunt

Matt Neal is indeed a cunt and BTCC is just as boring as F1.You want to watch WSB/BSB or Moto GP if you want to see proper racing

Never got into Bikes, sounds strange but I found the fact that overtaking was so frequent made it a bit boring. Does Charlie Cox still do the BSB commentary? He's quality and gets amusingly excited.

Gutted for Hamilton if he is docked points/sanctioned in any way. Great driver, great attitude.

Would be a great shame. Nothing he can do though  :( his time will surely come anyway

he won't get docked points

Damn right, hes got several championships to come yet.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Care to reconsider that statement after the last two races sir?
