I'm sceptical about that account. Don't think that it's his.

I witnessed a proof (back in january or february), I'm convinced that's the real LH's account. He rarely write there, and amongst the many fake and publicity/news/blog users who use his name on Twitter, this account is kind of hidden and overlooked.

Oh, well then I'd better follow him! Weird that he only has 1500 followers and on facebook he has almost reached the 400 000 mark.

If its not his account (or at least closely connected to him) - why has it got a picture of his car from inside the garage and pics of his family at various locations - some invisible stalker maybe ??

The fact that he spelt McLaren wrong makes me dubious of that account.

Maybe it's his brother's.

There are pics of Lewis and Nicole on holiday in South Africa as well with the brother.

I don't think there's any chance that's his account, have you read the entries?! It's not even a good fake.

Not sure how someone got hold of the photos.

If he had an account it would be referenced by the 5th driver, jake etc like the realjb is, not to mention by f1hamilton, the websites twitter.

it's not real. nicole's is a real account and she isn't following him, yet he's posted stuff to her, she would be following him.

Yeah bit like Schumacher really, except Schumi had to have a team mate that gave him his well earned wins as well.

That's true.

It's real, mark my word. None of them use Twitter seriously or importantly. I'm convinced, but I witnessed something more proving, that you now cannot, which was then soon removed. I won't go into detail, as I respect him.

Riddle me this hunnylander!

Quite cryptic, you hvae me intrigued now! But I still don't think it's real

Perhaps you could consider other options for that post. I'm still unsure due to the poor spelling, and the use of "maclaren".

I'm not telling you are wrong, but there have been a few other twitters for other people that are very convincing.

without the evidence then as far as im concerned its fake

It looks real
Could it be there were some photos removed?

It's strange that Nicole has not ONCE, ever tweeted to this account, she's not following it, and never referenced it in her tweets.

It doesn't look like it's real at all. But then how can it post those kind of pictures?

Anyway, most drivers who have an account have it integrated in their own website aswell.

Pictures could be from facebook, alot of them aren't taken by Lewis, especially since he is in some of them.

Most probably.

It's kinda sad, though.

Obviously somebody with paddock access, but were it real I would expect sponsor logos to be present in the background of the page (such as Reebok) and also a more professional design than tiled images of a mock up car at some promo event. Also, I don't think any Englishman refers to their mother as "mom".

No, fam and Mom are very americanised (Not limited to). This leads me to believe that this is by one of Nichole's stalkers. Judging by some of the tweeted photo comments.

From what I read on this thread alone, I reckon Hamilton has his own stalkers, no need to fall back on Nicoles.

Amazing that the whole last page seems about the genuinity of that twitter account.

Well, there are a lot of gullible folks on the internet, and also enough weirdos to go to the effort of making something like that twitter account up. As you say, this very topic throws up a few suspects, both pro and anti.

Nice one

We're all sinners, aren't we?

I can only assure you of one thing, if I'd ever bother to make a fake, it would look a lot better!

I Would hope so!

PS- I wasn't actually thinking of you...... I could name names but the post would be deleted!

I was hoping Hamilton's stalkers would know a little more about him and do a better job ;) I just think if they were Nicholes pictures that would explain it a bit.

Stalkers stalker

Is Lewis fn kidding me? It is not only already too late, he has a lot of nerve putting MSC down that way when he is just as god awful in this ethical driving behavior. He will be remembered as lying to the stewards and subjecting other drivers to his particular brand of tactics. If he completely changes (and he won't cuz a leopard does not change its spots) perhaps the memory will be of moving from what he was to what he becomes. But right now, he is as tainted as Michael and without the 7 championships to show for it.



Seriously, he is getting down right embarassing now. Let me get this straight: Lying to the stewards to get yourself elevated onto podium position is so much less unethical than parking to keep pole? Please - Michael has to be thinking the dude is a total jackass for even suggesting such a thing. I am a hater of Hamilton's behavior relative to F1 that is 100% certain and he just keeps it coming. There are many like me out there and the bottom line is: SOMEBODY get this man a manager! Quick!

As I can see, this is another press-constructed thing, and you just swallowed it

He obviously didn't mention MS by himself, he was asked about MS Monaco controversy and he said he doesn't want to be remembered by that or something similar. And then press constructs headline in this manner, and to make it worse - you deliberately remove part of interview to suit your agenda

Btw, what should he say to press after that kind of question?

Hamilton refused to be drawn into a judgment on what Schumacher did last time around, however.
"I just focus on my own job. It doesn't have any impact on me. You guys have an opinion about it... whether I think it was right or wrong I wasn't in the car with him," he said.

As I can see, he actually defends MS, but he says he doesn't want that kind of things to be what he himself is remembered about. But obviously, some people are prone to press constructed stories

So here we go again
Lewis gave an honest and open interview and boooh what right does he have to state his opinion
(nice to see that Lewis has kept some ethical values after some years F1)
Quick get him a manager to tell him what he should say
Better he shoud do it like Michael , he said to the journalists asked about Monaco 2006 "Stop boring me" and answered nothing more.

The only thing that is embarassing is your post. The bold part says enough ...

And ... Learn to read as the last 2 posts mention.

+1 ... Nice and well overthough post.

you keep saying how un ethical he is and dangerous he drives and spoiles other ppl racing but when we ask to give us some prove
you keep saying i dont have to cmon just say you dont like the guy personally i would understand that as i do have problems with some drivers and it doesnt have anything to do with what they say or do its just something i feel
but dont come with something thats just BS
yes the lying thing wasnt clever but do you think that your guy (vettel) never lied or spoild some drivers races you are pritty mutch wrong ,get your facts straight lewis isnt worse than any other driver

Maybe it's best you don't read any press relating to Hamilton as it so clearly upsets your frail sensitivities and results in you spouting bollocks.

On lieing to the stewards it's probably about time you opened your eyes and stopped kidding youeself that Hamilton is the only driver ever to have done this. It wasn't comendable and he apologised for it, but there is a ridiculous amount of hyperbole surrounding it, equivelant to the non-event of Senna squeezing Prost in Estoril '88 which seems to have gone down in folklore for the anti-Senna brigade.

And on on top of that (regarding the lying to stewards) we know his natural inclination is to be open, he got out of the car and told the reporters exactly what happened.

For the lying to stewards to be Schumacher-esque you would need to reverse the roles of Dave Ryan and Lewis Hamilton i.e. you would need to rewrite history so that Lewis conceives the idea and gets Dave to go along with it, rather than the other way around, and you would need to remove the bit where Lewis talks to the press beforehand and tells openly what happened.

But that would be quite a rewrite eh?

Bernie on why he's disappointed with Lewis this year: "People praise his overtaking but you don't get any points for passing cars."

http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/83600

Well i've just read this page of posts and you've been absolutely sat down. Your best off leaving this thread. Your just embarrassing yourself.

Bernie....
The old man who lives in Disneyland
Perhaps he lost a lot of money betting on Lewis

He should be thankful for Lewis overtakings, the driver who adds some fresh live to the boring show
Bernie "The Shady Pines" are waiting for you

You do get good TV raitings though Bernie ...

LOL but I don't think a manager will help, when he had his dad around he also was a bit of a loose cannon and good for a foot in mouth quote at nearly every race.

I see it as entertainment, gives us here something to talk about.

Anyway great quote from Ecclestone: "People praise his overtaking but you don't get any points for passing cars."

Here's the Telegraph article:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorspor...-to-Russia.html

People, including bernie, seem to miss the point about overtaking.

Lewis doesn't deliberately decide to qualify down the field or have an extra pit stop to give the other cars a head start so he can then pass them.

He passes them because he's unfortunately started behind them.

So bernie, no you don't get points for overtaking but equally if you start behind cars then you have to get in front of them in order to get into the points positions...

I'd say overtaking gave him 18 points in china because, without it, he'd have finished, what 14th or something?

It's the same with all the bs about jenson taking the easier route than hamilton...lewis didn't deliberately take a harder route for the fun of it so he could show off his overtaking skills!!

Not really, as it all depends on what position you are passing for. Passing cars generally brings more points. As the promoter he should be quite happy with the entertainment level Hamilton has provided, particularly after the flack the sport received from the Bahrain procession. Perhaps he is disappointed that Hamilton is not further up in the championship. Aren't we all?

Awesome quote lol..

Its so contradictory and typical Bernie...

Bit dumb qoute if you ask me; as of place 11 every place is worth 1 point or more

Here the full interview:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorspor...-to-Russia.html

Bernie is right, nonetheless.
You don´t get points for overtaking people.

I don´t see anything contradictory in that. Bernie probably would love to see Lewis totally dominating the sport like Michael did for years. Look what these Michael years did for the sport.
For some time now, Lewis is shooting himself in this foot, then in the other foot. Would he be totally dominating it would be much better for Bernie´s coffers than this off and on showing in terms of results that Lewis provides.

If a driver in second overtakes the leader, doesn't he gain 7 points?

I imagine the last thing bernie wants is anyone dominating the sport, I thought they wre so desperate to stop schumi dominating they changed the rules to try and disadvantage him and ferrari?
Much better for him to have 3 or 4 top drives in 3 or 4 top teams, all in close competition.

I'm a bit confused about your comments re: lewis shooting himself in the foot though. I think he's driven brilliantly this year with the exception of quali in oz (team have said gave him wrong advice re: warming up tyres) and malaysia (forgiveable).

If his wheel had lasted 2 laps longer in spain he'd be 2nd in the WDC and 1 point from top.

Hardly shooting yourself in the foot, or disappointing as bernie calls it.

I also always thought that if one driver dominates the sport it would be rather bad for F1.
Yet history shows that whenever one driver really dominated it helped the sport in TV ratings and public perception.

Probably a Lewis winning everything and becoming a real Tiger Woods of F1 (bar his private life) would have been more to Bernie´s liking.
Also witness how Bernie is pampering Sebastian Vettel. He obviously thinks Vettel is the next big thing and Lewis just does not cut it.

I take it verbatim. Bernie seems to be honestly disappointed with Lewis.
Well, maybe there is some background reasons we are not aware of as well.

Most of the overtakings gave him points. Every point counts.

Lewis is in good form, doing what he can, giving his best. No-one can be perfect all the time. He can't see into the future to avoid problems regarding weather and wheel rims.
