Lewis Hamilton driving standards

[timbo]

He had a bad race, he made some bad decisions sure but people like to jump on the guy for one race?

Eh?
He has quite a long record.
And despite what he may think, you're not being called for stewards for being black.

IT WAS A JOKE. did you miss the latter part of the sentence? "Ali G says that"

Surely, that would be enough to get the joke but i guess not.

With the amount of overtakes Hamilton has done he probably has the lowest overtake/incident ratio out of any driver on the grid today.

drving standards eh?

that's the driving standard.

[Shrieker]

I would have grabbed the "because I'm black answer" and converted it into headline material.

Too late Ciro !

Still you don't say things like this as it can be taken out of context (usually by crash.net ).

Saying Ali G says that does not automatically make it a joke. I dare say that there are several people who don't know who or what Ali G is.

Incidently, I never found Ali G funny.

And the best part of it; That overtake is actually the same move as he pulled on Maldonado where 'Maldonado had no way to go'

Talking of driving standards...

Someone please show me videos like these from other drivers. Senna excluded.

^ Darn haters.

Obviously the U.S. don't understand British humor

Problem you've got is the sport is watched around the world and Lewis, as a sporting figure, and role model to many young children, has a responsibility with the way he acts in the media.

It starts with him learning to accept some of the blame and being sincere.

That said, most of this stems from the massive amount of passion that he has, so you can almost forgive him. At least he's not banging out the crazy frog.

While the black part is clearly a joke, he was clearly annoyed with how many times steward called him. And he was called not without a reason.

Really? And what does it prove? That if you're bald enough to make a move you can take less care about the safety?
What if Maldonado got injured?

[ringo]

Maldonado lost the battle but refused to give up the place.
Lewis car was safely placed beside maldonado's maldonado should have done what shumi did if he wanted to finish the race.

You sound as if Lewis forced Maldonado into a somersault. Besides, after putting his front wheel past Maldonado's rear, it was Maldonado's decision, and decide he did.

Oh, so if Lord Lewis is beside your car, your only option is to yield or you would be knocked out of the race.
This should be within the sporting code.

I sound like that because Lewis has a history.
He does have very little care of cars around him.

Agreed. This move was barely different to the one on Schumi, and schumi could give enough space too, why couldnt Maldonado do that?
