Do you like Lewis Hamilton?

Seems a bit wooden when I've seen him on tele.

Couldn't care less really

I thnk the other thing we and I shoudl bear in mind, is how he is being groomed / has been groomed to appear in public over the years by the Mclaren publicity machine, must act in this way, must do this, must do that etc etc. I wander if half of the time he doesnt know any different and is behaving that way because he has had to. I'm sure I read somewhere that Mclaren drivers are not allowed to grow a beard. I think Ron can be very controlling.

Tis true. Mr. Dennis is not a fan of facial hair which is why Alonso grew a beard after the Hungarian GP last year - ooh, what a rebel!!

he needs to grow a little beard like Jenson Button. I'm easily impressed by acts of rebellion such as those.

I did not know that. I am immediately impressed by rebellious Alonso!

Not sure he could grow a beard TBH.

Was watching the race the other week and my mum walked in and asked seriously, "Do you think he shaves?"

love that!


not only does he make me feel better about my babyface, he is the most exciting thing to happen in f1 for years. yes, he mucks up frequently but have you ever seen someone race as hard, all the time? any arrogance is to be expected really. he makes most of the other drivers look like they dont care who wins. no wonder the fia hate him, he shows the world how stale the championship has become
the dude's a legend

I agree that he is clearly talking the McLaren script, which is why he can irritate in interviews.

I think he's a very talented driver who is lucky enough to be in a top performing car. I'm sure that Jenson would deliver if he wasn't in the Honda Brick(tm). He's clearly still learning his lessons but I think he'll do better and better.

It's the media coverage that I generally object to- so basically ITV's presentation. Even accepting that they are behind a British driver who is really flying the flag for us in terms of performance and potential, they really are over the top. Most of the time now, they won't show the post race interview past Lewis' part and not at all if he's not in it.

Do they not realise that there are people in the UK who support other drivers?!! Roll on the beeb!

yeah, they are pretty biased. you have to go to the f1 website to see the press interview which is a bit pointless. but then if you watch a race in spain they are exactly the same with alonso.
dont know if this is a new fashion, cant remember damon hill bieng praised quite so relentlessly. mansell, i dont know. bit before my time really

Yeah, but David Coulthard's funnier.
