Strange how some interpret things differently. I view that clip as an amusing parody, not hatred, more along the lines of a 'Monty Python' type sketch.

I find it comical how much Alonso is fixated on Lewis. Or, in the same vein as the Spanish video, maybe I should say "Alon-slow".

"Fernando... is... faster... than... you. But only if we turn your engine down and turn his up."


It's well known Alonso secretly makes all the F1 videos of Spanish tv channels...

btw just for your information parody clips of Alonso are very common (much more than Hamilton's), exaggerating his whining and rudeness. Don't be so over-sensitive about this kind of videos.

I ve seen people say it is racist in other posts, but i cant see that at all


Hahaha. See? Lewis IS a vile underhanded cheater with the officials in his pocket, what more proof do you need?!

Oh, and racism seems to equal saying negative things about someone who just happens to be black regardless of how relevant his skin colour is to the particular insult levied. To some people anyway.

thx for posting that


whats amusing, in the first race video...around the 56min mark, the commentators comment on Hamiltons driving style, and they say its so smooth and reminiscent of Jenson Button lol.gif and contrast it to Nigel Mansell who takes the car by the scruff of the neck..."Hamilton doesnt do that" haha

Indeed he looked smooth in his onboard in that race, n generally when you look at his race onboards, he is often smooth.

I guess the commentators then hadnt gotten the memo to start to caricature him as mainly an aggressive driver

Ha ha, good point. Just proves the absolute toss that is written about him time and again by so called experts, which then gets parrotted by armchair experts on here.

I don't think so. The Fifth Driver always tweets "@TheRealJB and Lewis Hamilton" rather than "@TheRealJB and @LewisHamiltonF1" when referring to both of their drivers.

I think it is, but I think he wants to use it more for personal use rather than F1-related, therefore McLaren doesn't link to it. Just a guess.

if its a fake, that must be an awesome stalker.... there are a few personal photos there that u feel if not Lewis, only an inner circle person would have

According to F1 Fanatic, Lewis doesn't have a Twitter account.

That LewisHamiltonF1 must be run by someone who knows him though as they seem to have a handle on what he is up to and where he is and has some exclusive pictures. Might be a cousin or something.

I don't know - I hope and pray he can. It all depends on other things other than his stupendous driving - how the McLaren matches up to the Red Bull in the final 5 races, how good the pit stops and strategies are, and so on.

Not one picture taken by him, just pictures of him. Interesting nonetheless.

I have always had a feeling that Lewis would move to the US one day, with or without Nicole. I hope it's not for a few years though as I want him to remain in F1 for many more years to come.

He was on a VMM promotional trip to India so those sort of interviews are usually mandatory and I think he handles them as professionally and charmingly as he does everything else.

The lady who was doing the interview, probably doesn't even do sports coverage. We don't have any F1 journalists so to speak, so I will always expect daft questions from reporters over here.

I'd have killed to the bloody interview though, and I don't even like Hamilton.

Yeah I know. Nothing against Lewis. I just think it can be done a lot better, and that interviewer was seriously ill-behaved.

I have a reasononably good feeling about Singapore for Lewis, not too much pressure for Mac as people think they will struggle based on previous form, keen to make up for Monza error, and an environment and crowd which he is very comfortable with- if everything plays in his favour- he could just get out there as a man on a mission, put his head down, make up for any performance deficit and do a China 08 style performance....

Lewis was very good today. Ahead of Webber and in touch with Seb & Nando. I have been totally impressed with his driving this season. He is a real old style 'natural', and now he seems to have added a 'measured' approach to his bag of tricks. 2010 is shaping up to be a championship for the ages.

Thanks for this.... despite today, I hope LH does not change his style. He has the skill to make his aggressive style work... I cant think of too many others who could succeed with such a style and that is why it is so uncommon at the top level.

No one to blame, not a reckless move or the like, but he had to turn in for the corner eventually.

Still. he drove well all weekend.
