Hard to explain how he could get so many stewardesses.

the answer is glaring in ur face
i saw in discovery tv that sexual attraction has very little to do with looks

people with skills and status gets more girls than a handsome person

they showed that Leonardo davinci was not that attractive but he had slept with more females than the King of italy

same thing with Michael jackson, look at the way the girls cry for him!

Never in my life I expected to see James Hunt, da Vinci, and Michael Jackson names mentioned in the same context.

And the beauty of it is that we can now see the impact...

Is Hamilton a coked up, Rosberg drunk on the grid, Kubica swarmed with half naked girls?

Bcoxa,

You will have such a brilliant night out with Kubica and Hamilton, eh?
Playing cards, and discussing how they aced the set-up in an equally memorable day in China where half the spectators got lost in the clamour to get to the circuit, which explains the empty seats.

Anodyne characters that reel of PR nonsense is obviously so much more entertaining right?

Morals arent for the track*. They belong to hypocrites mostly.

*within reason

I think you've missed my point.

Well at least he took a stab at it. Braver than me.

I don't think its so much missed as perhaps it hasn't come across as you may have anticipated. Apologies for the misread, I on occasion think things then write, only to find it contrived.

How cool would it be if Hamilton turns round after winning in Monaco in the press conference and said "Damn, I'm Hanging!!!!"
Or Kubica say he's getting laid to celebrate his first win?(Lucky girl I'm sure )
Point is its not the act itself, its the connection we get that the people we put on pedestals are in fact very much Human like ourselves, empathy if you like.

Its weird how I remain unmoved by Schumachers tears after beating Senna's pole record. Why? I think its because he was so unemotional in the years preceding that!
Not his fault of course and he is no doubt a great, but in no way can I empathise.

Fickle lot us F1 fans eh?

I now know why Kimi Raikkonen entered a snowmobile race under the name 'James Hunt'.......

And won it

A one hour video about Hunt;
http://vimeo.com/18592054

A great quote from Hunt in the video is:

Q: How much does this victory mean to you?
A: 9 points, $20,000, and a lot of happiness.

I don't know if it's been mentioned, but Hunt and Raikkonen won their one and only championships by a single point. Just another coincidence in the many things they have in common.

The one (also witnessed by many, believed by few) I like more is this: once, when he was being paid by Marlboro to race, he went to a store on the track to buy a pack of cigarettes of a different brand, in full view of spectators....

Then there was the scandal when he refused to sign a contract that forced him to wear sponsor's clothes to parties and galas... He went barefooted and in a T-shirt. That, man, is an attitude I love.

...I also remember the time he had a row with Max Mosley (yes, that Mosley) when his car broke and he took a car of a different team to be able to race.

...

He did what!?!?!?! I love this guy!

haha he would so not fit under the thumb of the Ron Dennis of today!

suddenly made me think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YexamEllPeQ
