You would have put it on pole then Mark? mmmmmm

Dont you just love that British "if in doubt knock em down" mentality!

[PTRU]

I would have him in my team any day of the week Great talent

[telboy]

What makes me laugh, is, why didn't anyone make a topic called 'Massa' and slag him off for crashing on his first out lap?

Ok Hamilton planted it into the barriers, but at least it was a mistake made on his 'flying' lap!

...everyone makes mistakes.

[bigred5765]

but massa isn't British,I'm sure he will be on some foreign forum some were being slated,
i think its more the disappointment in your own lads kinda thing,you know what its like when you stub your toe, you don't say, a well never mind you usually shout o f+++ you t+++, but your not really calling your toe that are you?

[telboy]

I'm sure Hamilton was muttering those very words Carl, under his helmet.

lol and some

Lewis is just having the year he should've had in 07, his first two years in F1 have been way too easy for him, your supposed to have to earn the good results.

[qatmix]

I think all the years of racing he did before helped him to learn to win. That's why he has become the talented driver he is now. Personally I like how he is always on the edge, that's why he is fast and sometimes makes mistakes.

I just find it strange how people seem to hate him so much, Being a fan of F1 for over 30 years I've never known people to get that aggressive to any F1 driver. Especially to one who is fast, came from humble beginnings with the support of his dad, and always admits his failings and complements others on their success.

[DCM]

at least he admitted to the mistake, and at least he was going 'maximum best' when he did, there are far far worse drivers on the grid, and I would say, not many that are better.

[Southwell]

He out performed Alonso on many occasions who is 'the best on the grid' he outperforms Heikki 90% of the time, he has been pushing the car beyond it's limits all season. He's gonna make a mistake eventually, allbeit a stupid one by just being out of the camber groove.
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.

[emtee]

LH has served his time and deserves every bit of success... maybe its the sicko "'cos he's bl*ck.." mentality that does it! (Personally I hated Stewart 'cos 'e was a jock...'n he had tartan on his helmet!!) LH is a man on the edge 'n mistakes can always creep in with that...that's what is exciting about watching him... he drives that maclaren like a cart!!! he feels his car, not like a lot of the others who rely solely on geometry and a computer... I have enjoyed his career so far and I hope he wins again and again... 'n he's English not a "Brit"... that makes me proud! go Jenson, go Lewis... if only they both piloted Brawn's my F1 viewing life would be complete...

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!!

Never heard that one before.

Personally find it a bit of a strange one. If he'd got all the way round to club he would've noticed changes to the track already. So if anything, had he not known that the track had been changed, he would've questioned it at becketts? as that was the first change to the track on a lap.
I'd also find it strange that the team didn't notify him, if they knew he hadn't driven the revised layout.

It was in one of the biography's. The team had told him, he forgot part way round the lap (hence why he got that far), the point the book was making (if I remember) was just how turned off to f1 he was over the winters in Brazil.

No idea if it's true mind, I read a couple of Senna biographies and only heard it in the one!

[quincey]

he aint as good a real race driver as you were hey dave!
