HandyNZL 1 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 More lewisteric chants.If only Hamilton ever manages to achieve 10% of what Senna did... scratch that, 2% of what Senna achieved. Senna won British F3 in 1983, then considered the stepping stone into F1 Hamilton won GP2 in 2006, then considered the stepping stone into F1 Senna won 1977 Sth American Karting Championships Hamilton won 2000 European Karting Championship Senna won British Formula Ford Championships in 1981 Hamilton won Formula Renault UK in 2003 Senna scored first WDC F1 points in his second ever race Hamilton scored first podium and first WDC F1 points in his first ever race Senna had three podiums in his first season Hamilton had twelve podiums in his first season, nine of them in a row Senna scored 65 poles in 9 seasons and 3 races (162 races total, so 40% of races entered) Hamilton has thus far scored 11 poles in 1 and 14/17ths seasons (32 races thus far, so 34% of races entered) Senna amassed 614 points in 162 races = 3.8pts per race (and yes on old points systems but can't be assed rejigging points) Hamilton has thus far amassed 193 points in 32 races = 6pts per race (and yes on new points system) Senna scored points in 96 of races entered or a strike rate of 59% Hamilton has scored points in 27 of races entered or a strike rate of 84% Senna finished 2nd in WDC on 2 occasions in 9 years Hamilton finished 2nd in WDC on one occasion in 1 year (might be 2 in 2, but we haven't got that far yet) Senna finished 3rd in WDC on 1 occasion in 9 years Hamilton N/a Senna finished 4th in WDC on 3 occasions in 9 years Hamilton N/a Senna finished 9th in WDC on 1 occasion in 9 years Hamilton N/a Senna won WDC 3 times in 9 seasons Hamilton may win his first WDC for first time this season Senna and Hamilton are very similar - their careers tracking pretty much the same no matter how you look at it. Hamilton has already achieved your 2% maureen, plus a bag of chips on top of that. I stand by saying that Hamilton is no different to Senna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tifosi too! 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 People, the 'accents' mainly, jump down Lewis' throat for practically anything he says. Lewis didn't attempt a pass so how could he have expected DC to yield the place. Andres, you are the chief of 'accents' and should know better given your advanced age. "Fed Up", you are starting to annoy me... The "accents" thing is nothing short of a racist comment. There are more countries in the world than England and many of them happen to be doing a very good job, in case you haven't noticed. The guys with the "accents" may not like Lewis, because they don't feel they have to, because he is not their country-man! Stop whining about "poor Lewis who is mistreated and misunderstood", get on with commenting the sportive aspect and whenever you feel like saying that 80% of what you say, STFU.

Hamilton has already achieved your 2% maureen, plus a bag of chips on top of that. I stand by saying that Hamilton is no different to Senna. All your nummerical stuff doesnt impress me. Means exactly nothing because of the different conditions of driving in 80s and nowadays. Senna won British F3 in 1983, then considered the stepping stone into F1 Hamilton won GP2 in 2006, then considered the stepping stone into F1 Nick won F3000 in 1999, then went to F1 and still got nowhere. Senna won 1977 Sth American Karting Championships Hamilton won 2000 European Karting Championship MOST drivers won a karting championship... Senna won British Formula Ford Championships in 1981 Hamilton won Formula Renault UK in 2003 I think Kubica won this sh*t too... If he didn't I'm sure someone else did. Senna scored first WDC F1 points in his second ever race Hamilton scored first podium and first WDC F1 points in his first ever race All hail Sebastian for scoring points in his first race even if he didn't have a McLaren. BTW even Nels went to podium nowadays... Senna had three podiums in his first season Hamilton had twelve podiums in his first season, nine of them in a row Hi, Hamilton had a McLaren. Senna scored 65 poles in 9 seasons and 3 races (162 races total, so 40% of races entered) Hamilton has thus far scored 11 poles in 1 and 14/17ths seasons (32 races thus far, so 34% of races entered) Ok, let's consider the amount of people who really have a chance to get a pole nowadays. Thats... 4? Three if you ignore Heikki. He had 33% of obligation to be on pole. (...) Senna finished 2nd in WDC on 2 occasions in 9 years Hamilton finished 2nd in WDC on one occasion in 1 year (might be 2 in 2, but we haven't got that far yet) Where's JV now? Senna and Hamilton are very similar - their careers tracking pretty much the same no matter how you look at it. Hamilton has already achieved your 2% maureen, plus a bag of chips on top of that.

This is the kind of stuff that caused Maure to come up with the term lewisteric. Hamilton is a good driver, but to compare his accomplishments to Senna is premature. Come back in 7 years, and then start doing your comparisons. These are interesting facts, and do put Hamilton in good company so far, but to compare him to Senna!!!!!!. Only after a coulpe of WDC wins should a person even consider the comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fed up 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 The whole "accents" thing is a little over the top in my opinion. It speaks volumes about the person behind the the moniker "Fed-up". I guess you are OK with that. You are right it is over the top - As is monkey chants aimed at Black footballers, monkey chants during testing and jeering during the podium ceremony. The only common denominator here is that they are prevalent in certain parts of the world only. What I have witnessed in F1 since Lewis joined the grid has been nothing short of alarming. The hate and venomous attacks is nothing short of weird. Perhaps I am being over sensistive here, but I've tried to understand where all this hate is coming from and why and I'm still baffled. What is certain, however, is that true F1 fans recognise talent over personality - The reverse seems to be the case on here lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rainmaster 7 Report post Posted October 1, 2008 Andres, do you regret starting this thread yet?? That is the definition of Hamilton right there Wow that made me laugh for a while... Thanks, and of course I'm liking the sig Awww ok, it was fun for a while!For what it's worth, I do think that he must have been joking, too. I mean, he is one arrogant S.O.B., but not this would be just too much. But it was fun to see who would take the bait I also posted this because many times, some of Nando's comments that were obviously a joke were taken out of context or just mistranslated into English and caused uproar. A few days ago, he made a comment about not wanting LH to win the championship. He then added that Hamilton is the best driver with the best car, and his previous comment was an obvious joke (it was for a Spanish public). It appeared on some websites as "Alonso doesn't want Hamilton to win the WDC" and "Alonso prefers Massa rather than his sworn enemy, Lewis"... So, here's a lesson for us all: these comments might or might not be what they seem. But we can be sure that the press would do whatever they want to twist them and convey some predetermined image of a driver. Think about it next time you read an arrogant comment from your most hatred driver EDIT: Mr.Fedup, what exactly does that whole "accents" talk mean???? I don't get it Yeah I suppose Hammy could've been joking (although it would be out of character from what I've seen), anyway he should still know better even if he was joking STFU guys.
