Merc Imploding. Yay!

Good news to hear Lauda and Toto don't get along. This team of misfits has been off since they booted the legendary Brawn. Once the hard work had been done, it wasn't hard to keep their incredible engine advantage and go about winning everything. Toto is a caretaker. He didn't build this team, he came in when the engine had already been designed and made. We'll never know how good the Merc chassis is honestly because their engine is simply too dominating. But they did struggle in the wet in Austin, so there's a clue to how their chassis really is.

The one thing I found both fascinating and also ridiculous was Glamiltons little cry over the radio when he was told to pit the second time in the race. Once again the big little man was "questioning" his team and trying to dictate things. I couldn't give a flying F if he thought he could go longer. Guess what you balding bleached Fwit, Nico could have gone longer on his tyres too. But he listened to his team and came into the pits. His inference that Merc were being overly nice to Nico was both arrogant and demeaning. Is Hamilton that insecure that he needed to stay out and thus get the "win"? What a tool. He radio attitude was BS. His relating to Nico in the after race interviews was crap too. This guy has just won his 2nd hollow meaningless World Championship to add to his first one and he's acting like this.

For fans of other drives, we get it. This is why we don't support this douche. He's never changed and appears to consistently behave in this manor.

Very much the same as Vettel and webber, I'll say it again lol.

How is this the same though. They did their fighting and tangling whilst racing, not by how gracious Hamilton is in victory by actually being a complete tool.

Vettel had his issues with Webber and vice versa, but I don't really recall it getting to the point of total demeaning behaviour. At times one was more p**sed off than the other, but all credit to Webber he is still good friends with Vettel and has backed him on many occasion.

Multi 21 was a rather unique situation. But we've gone down that route many a time. Vettel felt in his mind he was justified to pass him. Justification for Webber at Silverstone and more worringly for Vettel, virtually near taking him out at Brazil.

This is different. Nico's not a threat to Hamilton. Can he be happy to let Nico take the odd win? Even Schumi was gracious when beat by Rubens or Massa. Hamilton is not gracious. He always comes out after these incidents to "clarify" things and put a PR spin on it, with him being all contrite and "humble", but it's a put on. Nico won in Mexico fairly. They both were asked to pit. It's only Hamilton that decide he knew better. I think he should look back at the shambles of Monaco and see he actually does not know best whilst in the car. He does not have access to all that information that his engineer does.

Multi 21 might be the only time I can honestly recall Vettel not doing what he was asked. Sure there was that moment he was asked to move aside for Ricci last year and he commented over team radio "too bad" or something like that, but he still let him past.

The point still stands. Hamilton is a douche and is still just as immature as when he first came into the sport. He had no right to insult Nico in that fashion.

You made a valid point there mate, I agree with this, your right. I don't think I've ever heard him say "I got beaten fair and square today" what's funny is he came out and said he was faster than nico in Mexico, bah, didn't look like it to me.

Correct. He wasn't faster until Nico pitted for his final stop. He attributed being in the lead to him being faster. He probably could have gone the rest of the race on those tyres, but so could Nico. Thus he would have still had to try to pass him. But he never even got under the 1sec mark did he. And as hypocritical as you can get, last year or whenever it was, Nico was behind and bummed out he wasn't allowed to pass Hamilton. Hamilton's response was Nico wasn't fast enough, and that he was never even right behind him to attempt a pass. So the hyprocrite seems to bend the same situation in whatever direction to only apply to him.

Now I know all F1 drivers have to selfish. Because when you are not, you get the Rubens, Massas, Heidfelds, Fissi's, Trullis etc. Hamilton is selfish and at times both arrogant and demeaning. He's now a 3x World Champ. Yet he couldn't even show some grace towards his team mate. Too many a$$ kissers in his inner circle with Uncle Bernie being one of them. Why would he change when all these clingers keep telling him he's the best, the greatest and so on.

It's not as though fans go out of their way to hate on someone. The Lorenzo and Marquez saga is unique and different. But guys like Hamilton and Alonso in his dirty days, just make it so easy to not support the guy. I'd rather follow a driver that has integrity, and if they win, all the better. How many times has Kimi demeaned someone, or shown flat our arrogance and insulted a person. What about Vettel? Button? Webber? Ricci? Hulk? I haven't seen it. But here's Hamilton yet again several times over questioning his team, not believing them and showing this hollier than thou I know best attitude. Why support an ego and driver like that? Most people can sniff out a phony. And that's why Kimi has so many fans. He might not win anymore, but he's got an impeccable record of just being himself, being honest and giving his all.

How I see it monkey is that Hamilton has had so much success and takes it and runs with it, which is fine but you also have accept the bad times if you greedily take the good. That's what made Michael Jordan such a complete athlete. He was an offensive weapon but if it was his defence that was lacking, he would work himself into a lather like a race horse until he improved that particular aspect, not whinge and mope. Ohh btw Lewis, Jordan was actually black, not a half cast like yourself claiming full blackness, heck iam as dark as you and iam half Pom slash Lebanese, mine is called a tan. Read up on Michael Jordan monkey and you'll se what a true professional is in sport.
