Mr Romanov Saviour of HMFC Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I hope he blows it again. Thinks he's the big man. I'm starting to think that as well. He's obviously unbelievably talented but he's a little arsehole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously very capable. Not convinced he's got the bottle though. Could prove me wrong in the next couple of weeks! I just hope he doesn't. It'll just increase the size of his ever expanding ego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blairdin Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 What is it with Coulthard and first corners? He always seems to crash at them. I don't think it's ever been a lack of talent with Coulthard, I think he is possibly the unluckiest driver around. Definitely doesn't get the recognition he deserves in this country. Although he's never won a championship, in terms of races and points he's up there with the Mansells and the Hills. Hamilton could do looking at how some of those guys approach(ed) the sport.

rossi_1983 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 A lot of incident in that race! Hamilton is trying his hardest to throw things away again. His move at the first corner was crazy, and although Massa was at fault for the tap at 10, it has been coming for months with Hamilton. He continually forces others off the road, and it was only a matter of time before someone didn't yield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Plenty . It's just becoming harder to find things that actually have substance now as everything is so over hyped, shallow and generic these days. Sport, culture, everything basically has been diluted or killed off altogether by globalisation and money. F1 is all about big money and flashy advertising, it's not really a sport. It's clear to see that Ferrari are being handed some slack, for want of a better expression, to make the title race more exciting because those who run the 'sport' can see how bloody boring it is. Why else do you think they make daft rule changes every year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 100% agreement in this corner. I'd love it...just love it... if Hamilton were to blow it again. I've never been a fan of Hamilton. Partly because of the fawning ITV attitude and the fact that the coverage is now The Lewis Show. Partly because of his attitude and his bloody old man. The final nail in the coffin was his statement at the hearing a couple of weeks ago that the judge at the hearing didn't know about racing and he (Hamilton) knew every overtaking move n the book which is why he is the best at what he does (paraphrase). A bit cocky since Raikonen and Alonso both have world titles. I have a feeling he may be the next Stirling Moss, talented without doubt but never achieving the ultimate prize. However still deified by the british press. How the hell Moss is still more famous to the man in the Street than Jim Clark is a constant source of mystery to me. Clark by his own admission never drove at more than 90% of his ability as he considered it dangerous yet still creamed every driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboMarc Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 I liked him at first but I dont like the guy now to be honest. A few reasons are the ITV or English attitude, "ohh hes a god" ect. It just gets on me t!ts. If he wins the championship we'll never hear the end of it! But he is also turning into a cocky barsteward. He loves himself. Though he has undoubtably the best raw talent in F1 for years! Loved it last year when he cocked up in China and loved it today. I really hope he loses the championship in the worst possible way!!

deesidejambo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I see it differently. He is by far the best driver. The best drivers always come through in the rain - Schumacher was the same. Hamilton is unbeatable in rain. He may be a bit of a tosser but he is still a driver similar to Schumacher and Mansell, and GP need some more drivers with the balls to overtake. The first corner was a marginal drive-through. In my view it was a race to the corner and although Hamilton tried to get through on the inside he failed but he was on the track and he wasn't trying to force anyone else off. If it was a drive-through what about the guy who broke Coulthards suspension at the same corner? Did he get a drive through? This is an interesting precedent now - the first corner in a GP is always a fight for position and incidents like similar to this happen in almost every race, but now Hamilton (and only Hamilton) has been punished for it. I wait with interest to see what happens at the first corner of the next race. Will the stewards impose similar drive-throughs to others. I bet not.

When it rains the cream rise to the top, and Hamilton definitely does so. I think he'll win the World Championship but he makes it very difficult for himself. He is an arrogant git, but a very, very good driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastjambo Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Personally think he's a great driver. Difficult to keep your feet on the ground with the media fawning all over you telling you your the next schumi/senna/prost/stewart/fangio from the word go,also their desperate for english formula one success. Hamilton for me was'nt the big talking point of the weekend for me it was the the strange desicions the race officials made. It was touched upon on the tv but i think Hamilton was harshly treated with the drive through penalty for the first corner incident. Massa maybe deserved it, he'd stuffed up the corner in which he clipped Hamilton. but how sebastien bourdais deserved a time penalty for Massa turning into him on the 1st corner is beyond me and smacks of double standards.

Just been reading jackie stewarts autobiography he rates DC very highly and said on his day was as good any of the greats but he had a frustrating lack of concentration on some occasions, which ruined any world championship chances he had.

Unbelievable. On the plus side, it's making for a hell of a finish to the season - the last two years in F1 have been fantastic entertainment.
