Which would be fair. Mclaren were punished earlier in the season but their drivers wern't. Wouldn't have beena good way for Hamilton to win either.
At least Alonso didn't win it.
Lewis came second in a driver's championship that was actually a close finish for a change, this in his first year of F1, which is amazing. He'll be world champion next year or the year after, assuming the car he drives is good enough.
I think Hamilton's going to be another Mansell, though. Good, but always the bridesmaid.
English Team with an English driver, why would you want ferrari, no matter whats got on, this is an amazing young English talent coming through so don't understand why you wouldn't support him!!
Do you support the Aussies at Cricket? The South Africans at Rugby? Brazil at Football? If so then I understand why!!
Littlemissy isn't English though
I don't especially like him, but not as much as I don't like Coulthard who going by your logic I should love?
By that definition half of English football isn't English. At least the McLaren team are English.
If Scotland get to the Euro's are you going to support Croatia??
Apology accepted, just don't do it again.
You can't try and force people to support somebody, maybe some people just don't like his personality?
Aye, because that's exactly the same thing.
Anyone who says Arsenal or Man Utd are English are having a laugh.
i think you mean majority owned, and not for long i'll bet...
And I'm thinking if I can feel the difference cold fuel makes in my little car then to an F1 car it could make a HUGE difference and worthy of penalty. Although I do think drivers should lose points and not just the constructors, simply because if they were on the same fuel as everyone else their cars would have been slower and they'd most likely have finished further down the grid.
But IMO only a pathetic saddo wouldn't like his personality, he's humble in victory and defeat, he doesn't mince his words, speaks straight down the line honesty, he's a highly focused and motivated individual, all them are excellent personality traits and only the people who are jealous of such traits wouldn't like him!
But...its mainly to do with what he's doing on the track, he's and awesome driver, he drives like no-one else on the F1 circuit, he's fast, he's exciting, he's courageous and performs over-taking manourves like no-one else in present day F1!! He's brought excitement back to F1 when it was starting to become a little boring, so forgive me if I don't understand if an English person doesn't support him!!
He's English but that isn't enough to say he's wonderful. Like Mansell, he comes across to me as very good at what he does, but a little bit of a nob. Which is what makes him win.
I support Ferrari so I'm happy Kimi won it!
I'm sure you make stuff up half the time about everything you discuss, I can't remember him saying anything about "how wonderful he is", he's a highly motivated and talented individual and to get the best out of someone with so much talent they have to have confident in their ability. JUST because he's confident in what he's doing doesn't mean hes saying "how wonderful he is".
Don't know if you saw the program on Sunday about him?? Maybe that would have wedged open your welded shut blinker eyes to see actually who Lewis is and a bit of an insight into his personality and how a lad like thats brain works!
I feel sorry for him, but Raikkonen was the better driver, winning more races.
I don't actually care if he is English, Jamaican or Swahili. I don't like the way that McClaren conducted this season with the whole Hamilton / Alonso fiasco. A lot of dirty laundry was aired on both sides. Yes, it will be nice to see a British driver do well on the F1 circuit and I do look forward to him winning the title in the future, but I think that Raikkonen deserved it more than the bickering children at McClaren.
except if it's cuntyballs jenson button.
He is very very talented, and he has the right mental attitude to do well, but I really wouldn't say he was a nice person. Nice people rarely win in such a hostile atmosphere as F1, which is why all the top F1 drivers are all really very selfish and self-centred.
I can't think of an F1 world champion in the last 30 years who could be classed as being "nice". Damon Hill and Keke Rosberg are probably the closest.

Although I recon more for tax reason then anything else - I don't believe the "I'm leaving cos I'm hounded in the UK too much line" - the amount of money he's set to make he can but a huge house with big gates.
On another matter, is there anyone else with half a chance for this year's British Personality of the Year award? It must be as good as his surely...
BTW anyone ever heard of Lewis Hamilton before this year?
I never heard of the guy until he started in F1.
