johnny g Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I totally agree with Jackie Stewart. His remarks are towards hamiltons behaviour off the track complaining on Stewards and on other driver which I too find quite upsetting. His comments are not about the on the track incidents involving Hamilton. Some comments are: "I think both were questionable – and he was lucky to get off without any front wing damage in the final incident. "You make your own luck and you create your own situations, but the key is that you should not put yourself in a position where the other driver can retaliate in a fashion that will be negative to you, or will be seen by the stewards as negative.

Tony Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Good grief we can even read the same artical and come to different conclusion:d Think we better agree to disagree:thumbs: and enjoy the rest of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinlexusV8 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thats what it is he still drives like he is in GP2;) Honestly dude you are WRONG and and so are your opinions about Lewis ... You are talking about a world champion in here. One of the best available drivers in the world with a great race craft. You know Christian Honer wants Lewis to drive for Red Bull after Mark Webber. McLaren wants him to stay with them for ever and you think he is still driving like in GP2 and not suited for Formula1. For that matter I dont think driving in GP2 is easier either. An overtake is an overtake anywhere. If an overtake is wrong in GP2 it is wrong in F1. Dont think you listened to Martin Brundle's comments in China about how good is Lewis passing skills and how he wants to show his son the video of his overtakes so that he can excel in lower categories.

edinlexusV8 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Some comments are: Dont know man how you concluded from those 2 lines that Jackie Stewart mean Hamilton is at fault in those incidents ON the track. Questionable doesnot mean he is at fault rather it means they are borderline and either of the drivers could be blamed for the incident. Or atleast this is what I understand. Coming to the second point you highlighted, he is talking about off the track behaviour aswell. Because he called the other drivers stupid and not matured for F1 and that is him placing himself in a negative position w.r.t other drivers and same is his position when he called Stewards as biased.

I did not question anybody's skills so how am I arrogant. I did not call a world champion not good for F1 as a racer. I did not say that a world champion is only a world champion because he been picked up by Ron Dennis. Infact all the time I am showing facts for every argument I made unlike other here who come here and make some statement because they are biased.

To tell someone their opinions are wrong is arrogant - everyone is entitled to an opinion after all. Lewis doesn't work for Microsoft on the quiet, does he?

I am sorry Tony ... to call you wrong there. You have your opinion and I agree to disagree with yours. I am fine with that. But I am sure we both will agree that Hamilton off track behaviour and personality is terrible! But also we both agree that Hamilton is a great driver with big balls to take on those overtakes and he does the best overtakes in F1. We can watch F1 these days because of his overtakes. Infact most of the time BBC coverage is on him as there is always some action going on with him on the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 McLaren do maintain that part of his "scholarship" was dependant on good grades in school - although, they were never defined. A pass is a pass I suppose. But, who needs to be clever when you're earning £10m+ a year for driving fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that are written correctly seem to be done by someone else, maybe his PR folks I like him. He's a genuine talent and normally eloquent in interviews. If he had a Supra he'd be an asset to the club - thank god he doesn't as I'd have to ban him for his text speak. And that would be shame. But it would be the right thing to do. Staandardz innit?
