F1 : Hypothetical Life After Lewis

Based on how you know him so well personally, being a friend of the family and all that?

Or based on the nonsense you skim through in the press and the media about his lifestyle, clothes, hair etc?

Because the stuff I see of him leads me to think he is a half decent bloke (given he has obscene wealth and talent in equal measure) and genuinely seems to be trying to make a difference in the sport and in certain aspects of society as well.

I linked the Daily Mail because something tells me you would be familiar with it.

But i guess that doesn't fit the narrative eh?

Don't be so bloody ridiculous, are you seriously calling me a racist because I think Hamilton is a bit of a knob sometimes?

I knew as soon as I decided to post my original post I'd get pelters.

your argument on me not personally knowing him can be reversed....

My personnel viewpoint is simply that, in my opinion he likes to think people are talking about him. As I said he will be racing next season, he could clarify that very easily.

You can all apologise to me when he is lined up, hopefully in pole for the opening Grand Prix.

So, you think running off to a ranch in the mountains and not using social media is "attention seeking"?

Not sure how you arrive to that conclusion unless, as I stated previously, it's an irrational and u explained hatred of one of our greatest ever sportsmen.

Yes. You can't explain how hiding in colorado and not using social media is "attention seeking" when it appears to be the exact opposite.
Your hatred seem irrational to me and you can't explain where it stems from

Suggest you reread my posts and calm yourself down. The insinuation you are making is very unsavoury, especially to someone who has very nearly come to blows in the stands with racist fans when no one else seemed interested.

Maybe also read my contributions to the post for the final Grand Prix.

pretty sure I never called anyone racist, but that being your interpretation is interesting.

"I linked the Daily Mail because something tells me you would be familiar with it."

I'd consider the Daily Mail if not racist, definitely nationalistic. You knew exactly what you were doing.
 
I am a big Lewis Hamilton fan (the driving, not his fashion sense).
Followed him from his meteoric rise in 2007 and his subsequent 7 world titles. In fact I have a giant canvas print of his 2008 win at Silverstone framed and hanging in my office.
I personally think he will be back and think he has behaved impeccably in the last month. He is right to force the FIA's hand on their handling of this so-called investigation. If anyone knows how clandestine they can be need only look back a couple of years ago to their handling of the Ferrari fuel flow sensor debacle. The FIA have a giant broom and a giant carpet after all.

For me it would be Nick DeVries who would stand in as Lewis's replacement. He has proven himself as a worthy FE champion and is already well integrated into Mercedes.

I guess only time will tell though.

The same. I didn't even contemplate the fact he was racist. Yet he seems to think that is what we are both implying. That's a worrying insight into where his head is at

My insinuation is that your hatred of Lewis is irrational. The fact you still can't explain how hiding away and logging off social media is attention seeking is helping to back that up.
 
I don't think anyone would blame Hamilton for walking away, what happened towards the end of that race was utter schoolboy farce and done for no other reason to change the fair result for the benefit of others.
 
I haven't shown anything at all, it's all in your head.

Where has the viewpoint come from that he is walking away from F1? It's just nonsense.

My viewpoint has come from Lewis' use of social media and his interactions with the press in the past.

You can seek a response by not engaging - I'm sure there will be a psychological term for it.

Brilliant. That’s why I think you have an irrational hatred. You think not seeking an attention is attention seeking. Do you realise how ridiculous that sounds? You probably don’t, hence why I said irrational hatred.
Also hilarious that you criticise him using social media to “seek attention” which seem to ignore the fact that that is 100% it’s purpose.
 
Wow some of you have really gone for a poster because he had the affrontery to suggest that LH might have a narcissistic part of his personality, guess what it's not uncommon for most people to have at least some aspect of that in their personality and I include myself in that just as much everyone else. My view is that LH's (in)action is just as powerful message as if he shouted out how the last race was a joke, he is using an very effective way to provoke change, the press are talking constantly about it and for the people who own F1 they must be running scared that LH wil walk away and with it one of their true global assets and audience draw. LH is asserting his Value to them in a very effective way.
Yes if someone said I was a Daily Mail reader I hear the negative implication in it, on this forum it as good as calling someone as a racist.
