What a guy

And now for something completely different...

if Lewis Hamilton doesn't win the Formula 1 world title this year there's no justice, as the man is some kind of saint. He had to leave the Chinese Grand Prix while in a position to clinch the title after ditching his car in a gravel trap while trying to drive into the pits on a set of tyres that barely existed any more, they were so worn down. Not twenty minutes later - at a point where just about any other driver, and indeed any other person you could name with the possible exception of Buddha, would still have been breaking things in the garage and throwing a full-blown hissy fit for not being called in for a pit stop sooner - he's doing the rounds of his engineers shaking hands and slapping backs, and giving an interview to the BBC in which he took full responsibility for missing the corner and said he was looking forward to winning the next race. The man's incomparable.

Are you talking about the same guy that is unable to accept Dennis orders if there are not in his favour, or accuse his team of giving "team orders" if he is unable to beat his team mate as in Monaco??? Apart of the "help" received from the FIA not pennalizing him for a lot of faults he has done in some races. It's astonishing all the things around Hamilton. Possibly the best rookie ever (and possible the only rookie that have had a winner car and team in his first year in F1). But it's not the good guy you believe it is. Apparience, only apparience...
