Hmm, well, there's guy who drove into the back of other car twice this year and the second time on the pit-lane. What is that? Stupidity? Irresponsiveness?guy_smiley wrote:it is inevitable, as it continues and will continue to happen. i call it "competition." none of these drivers are stupid or irresponsible
Atleast Hamilton keeps it on the track if he doesnt crash into other people (lolmassa)timbo wrote:Hmm, well, there's guy who drove into the back of other car twice this year and the second time on the pit-lane.

My problem with Lewis is that it seems that he doesn't think much on the track. Just like DC these days, but DC officialy declared he quits.
well what about the other 19 drivers? they've all made mistakes and crashed into other people...are all 20 f1 drivers stupid? like mcdenife said, they're human, they make errors man. since you missed my point, it was that none of them would ever purposefully make a move that would seriously jeopardize the other driver's safety/life, not to mention their own. i would hope we could all agree on that...timbo wrote: Hmm, well, there's guy who drove into the back of other car twice this year and the second time on the pit-lane.
Some make them more often than others. Well, in that respect LH is always in limelight and therefore it may contribute to the perception.guy_smiley wrote:well what about the other 19 drivers? they've all made mistakes and crashed into other people...are all 20 f1 drivers stupid?
Yes, people make mistakes. But if you undergo surgery would you accept same apology from a surgeon? There's very little room for error in such sport as F1. If you ask me, DC should be forced to quit immediately after what he have done this year. If you compare LH overtakes with say Massa's (remember Massa held #1 for absolute and relative overtakes last year) you may see that LH doesn't try and prepare his move. He just goes for it. You may call it brave, but I call it irresponsible.like mcdenife said, they're human, they make errors man. since you missed my point, it was that none of them would ever purposefully make a move that would seriously jeopardize the other driver's safety/life, not to mention their own. i would hope we could all agree on that...

Actually he's rearended someone three times. He rearended Alonso in Bahrain, he rearended Heikki somewhere can't remember off the top of my head, and he very stupidly rearended Kimi. He also hit Heikki in the first turn of the first lap at Silverstone. Yeah the kid is good, no doubt about it. But rearending three people and hitting his own teammate twice is unacceptable to me. All he knows are banzai moves when he really wants to pass someone. Everywhere I've raced you'd be DQ'd for the season for that kinda crap.timbo wrote:Hmm, well, there's guy who drove into the back of other car twice this year and the second time on the pit-lane.

My favorite Pit error was the dude that drove off with the refueling rig. Who was that? Was it Klien? Don't remember.
Did anyone notice a funny incident in Monza, a "traction FAIL" when Rosberg started off the servise zone too early but the car just spun wheels being held in place by the refueling rig?jddh1 wrote:My favorite Pit error was the dude that drove off with the refueling rig.

Is it standard to take a cheap shot at the United States no matter what the topic? Jeez.andartop wrote:maybe the FIA can organise a new championship "destruction derby F1" as a support series. in oval tracks. would be huge in the good' ol US of A.
Christ he's only in his second season. And are you seriously suggesting that Alonso, Kimi, and Massa have never hit another driver on the circuit or rear ended someone?Ray wrote: Actually he's rearended someone three times.

And yet no one is innocent, I only harp on Lewis because I'm tired of the comparisons to F1 legends. Which he isn't. When he acheives as much as they have then we should compare them.
Yes, just like today but one year less wiseshortz wrote: Besides, he's 23 years old. Do you remember what you were like? Top of the world, just like me.
But I already had my views on sporting behaviour long before that. Actually no. I didn't feel that way after traveling the world in the Marine Corps. I had seen a few 'third world' countries by then and firmly understood my position in life and how lucky I am. But I get your point anyway!shortz wrote:He wants to win, and he does.
