I couldn't give the tiniest toss about a London demo event. Clearly neither could he. It's his time he can spend it however he wants as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah I'll tell you what I hate most about him, the charity work he does. What a self obsessed tosser.

We're agreed on that- paying a bit of a tax might salve his need for philanthropy

Yeah, because Hamilton is the ONLY F1 driver/athlete in history that has ever lived as a tax exile.

Clearly youre one of those folk that expects highly paid sportsmen to donate to every tragedy crowdfunding whilst donating zero yourself.

Do any sporting stars these days have any personality in front of the camera?  They have the best 'job' in the world yet most of them come across like the dullest miserable people.

 

Do you need to have that sort of personality to succeed as a sportsmen these days? or could it be you just have to do so many interviews that they're just tired and bored of them?

True, I know nothing about F1 but he does seem to have a personality, but I'm talking more in general terms most seem devoid of it.

I wouldn't say Kimi Raikkonen has a personality, but people seem to adore his rude, blunt ways. Hamilton doesn't tend to speak from a script in his interviews, especially to the level that the majority of footballers do. I realise how up his arse I sound but i've never thought he lacked a personality which again is one of his biggest criticisms, like it matters.

 

Jensom Button was good

Merecedes are pretty poor strategy wise aren't they? Fancy sending their cars out on slicks at the start of Q1.

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

McClaren on the other hand... P1 (Alonso) at the end of Q1, ensuring that... he'll still be at the back of the grid after penalties! 

 

Great reaction from the crowd though as he crossed the line!

[Nalis]

Probably the best finish to Q1 I've seen in a while.

Ferrari really need to switch Vettel's radio off from public broadcast. It's just constant bitching and moaning, and he's just coming across as petulant, and it's showing his clear anger management problems.

[Stinkenzo]

Can see Hamilton getting a race ban for that supposed blocking on Grosjean

[foxes_rule1978]

Again, as long as hamiltons car holds up.. no headrest issues or anything like that he should ease to victory 

[The Horse's Mouth]

how's he got away with that

Remember when I mentioned for another recent incident that the FIA / Stewards prefer not to get too involved in matters relating to drivers in a Championship battle these days... 

 

...had that been a driver in 7th place in the standings, that would have drawn a penalty - no doubt.

 

Also reinforces my opinion that Merecedes as a team tactically/race craft wise are a bit of a shambles.

Is this another one of your 'im only joking' "jokes"?

Vettel's having fun this afternoon!

Karma?

[foxes_rule1978]

Vettel  what he deserves

[Facecloth]

Can't believe he's going to try and finish on that. Last few races Vettel is becoming a danger to himself and others.

[Jon the Hat]

Boomdown to one point!  Feel the pressure Vettel!

[Super_horns]

Well that weekend just got even better for Lewis in the final 2 laps!!

[m4DD0gg]

Fair play to Lewis. Legend of his sport.
