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.

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.

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

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

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.

Inside the hats are lined with tinfoil
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....
