Yes I understand the usual from our border sharing cousins, but that's expected. We do the same, although much credit to the Giggs and Murray they are both genius. Having said that Zeta too. Anyway, back on the planet..... I don't get the animosity I hear from others. Have I missed something, has he said something, done something. I am not saying anyone is wrong - I just don't know why? I think he's the best thing to have happened to F1. Made it interesting again.

Ben me old mate, I think in the first year, the Lewis bashing started thanks to ITV, who made it sound like there wasn't anyone else good in F1, people get fed up with anything thats over hyped, and thats what they did to Lewis.

Then last year the bashing got heavier, due to some of the things that come out of Lewis' own mouth, like in France, when he had the 10 place grid drop, he said that anyone can win from the front, but only a legend comes from the back, and what did he do in the race? sweet F all.

Another race, he said that nobody overtakes me round the outside, what did somebody do in that very race?

The boy is good, very good, but Schumacher he ain't yet, or probably ever will be.
