To me i will support any British driver, as i have done for years with Button, but whenever a Brit seems to be doing well we seem to slate them and cheer when they make mistakes, i don't get it.
I know we seem to think it's a British thing, but sadly most country's treat their stars the same.

I really rate Hamilton as a driver, but yeah I do join in the slating a bit because I think he is too keen to play the victim (like his "I feel like an innocent man in jail" when he was guilty and hadn't had too bad a punishment!), I dunno, I guess I find it a little cynical.

Was a bit amateur today though, surprised he didn't choose to go straight into the little escape road and reverse out (they still have reverse?), but everyone of them does it at some point, most famously Senna!

In fac, I remember hearing a story that Senna flew in for the first test at Silverstone one year after track changes, went out on hid out lap and arrived at Club flat out and had a bit if an accident! Now that's embarassing, and from a legend!!
