"Race Control" disqualify Hamilton from British GP

Post

From formula1.com:

"Race Control have controversially disqualified Hamilton from today's British GP. Despite Hamilton winning in spectacular fashion in what was a torrid day of rain, spin offs and big names failing to win points. Charlie Whiting , race director, said "The rules stipulate a human must be in control of the car at all teams. It is clear a God was in control of the winning car this afternoon. For this reason, we have no option but to disqualify car 22 from the race".

Alright, I'm only joking. But if I hear any one criticise Hamilton about his driving ever again, I am going to --- on their face.

So, because he drove an excellent race today, it makes him immune to criticism for the rest of his career?

To the back of the class, fanboi, everyone has good and bad days, and I am POSITIVE that you will hear about it next time Hamilton drops the ball.

That is the way of racing, and I would hate to see you get your ass bitten while trying to defacate on someones face. While immensely funny, I would hate to see you have to explain it to your mother.

There's a difference between a fanboy and supporting your compatriot.

How many times does one man need to blow away the competition before he's accepted!??

You didn't say anything about acceptance, you said that you would "--- on anyones face that criticized Hamilton's driving, ever again."

See, that is what makes you a fanboi. Childish and ignorant bleating as an "In your face" type of way has the effect of making you look like a retard.

But, I'm sure you understand that, since you are so intent on shitting on someones face.

Nice joke, JamesS, and I enjoyed it. I can understand your opinion of Lewis, and all the criticism he constantly faces. But please understand, no driver ever gets acepted by all. In NA$CAR Dale Earnhardt was either loved or hated. Michael Schumacher (despite his long list of accomplishments) still had his detractors. So no matter how well a driver does, there will be little voices making disagreeing sounds.
Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

I personally LOVE underdogs, regardless of who they are.

My allegiance is to honest and honorable competition. That way, no one really loses, they just don't finish as quickly.

Ha ha.. I opened this thread expecting to see a "a ding in Hamilton's car revealed red paint underneath...." scandal begin again. :lol:

He drove extremely well and has his whole career ahead of him in which to driver like a muppet at least once... so I hope you keep a good supply of hot curry there. :?

Interesting thread.

Hamilton is without doubt a vey good driver (probably great). Barring really bad luck, he will win some WCs - probably more than one.

BUT he is praised TOO much by the jingoistic Brit media and others. He is still very young and quite immature. For a lot of reasons, he is a very polarizing individual.

IMHO he is the only driver out there who might be able to challenge some of M Schu's records and - as someone else pointed out - he will be the victim of love-hate, even as Schu was.

I've followed F1 since the 60s. I remember that even the great Senna had his detractors. Among some F1 fans he was referred to as "I-hear-a-taunt" (weak take-off on "Ayrton"). He was criticised for lack of teamwork, for ruthless driving. for demanding unequal equipment, for inability to accept criticism,etc.

Hamilton has shown the POTENTIAL to be the equal of Senna and Schu, and he already is the equal of any driver our there right now. (I am NOT a Hamilton fan. I wish him MANY DNFs - always without injury.)

The main reason why he's able to challenge Schumi's records is because he's been prepaired for F1 in a unique way, started as a rookie in a top car and will stay there for the rest of his career.
He's a great talent, but definately not the only one who would win a couple of WDC's with equal opportunities.

HAmilton is a test-tube driver.

Get used to it, because it is here and NOT going away.

Will anyone be surprised when it is 15 year olds driving these cars?

:D The shitting on people's faces had me laughing, but....By that rationale we aren't allowed to criticize Adrian Sutil ever again after his astonishing wet-weather drive at Monaco. Yet, somehow, I have a feeling people will be criticizing Adrian Sutil despite his astonishing wet-weather drive at Monaco, and same goes for Louise.

That's my issue with Hamilton. I mean he hasn't really done anything (except lose a world championship in spectacular fashion), but the press makes him out to be a god.

p.s. one could argue that Sutil had a better drive than Hamilton at Monaco--Hamilton made a mistake, smacked the barrier and escaped without the suspension breaking which would have retired him. The only mistake Sutil made was being in front of Kimi at the restart... :)
