Current Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton MBE

A place to put all the posts from all the other threads primarily but love him or hate him, and even for the indifferent amongst us this is the place to discuss the marmite that is Lewis Hamilton, to learn a thing or two about his rise, talk about those controversial, genius or mad moments and something that i am bemused by, the recent articles that suggest something quite different to my perception of what's going on. Any experiences of meeting LH?

Brundle had to write a Lewis Hamilton article recently and in my tweets (which were probably ignored) I asked him to talk about LH the driver not LH the personality. It seems that you can't have one without the other.

So as a starter for ten, here is a fairly recent LH article. Posts should not be limited to this link but it can get some discussion going. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/13755883.stm

The only banned topic as it is clearly ridiculous involves these four things "Glock" "2008" "Brazil" "conspiracy"
 
Its working out for him so far isn't it?

We are only 3 races in though and I'm sure he's not counting his chickens just yet.
 
You can't really judge whether his decision to move was the right one or not for a good few years yet, or possibly even until his F1 career is over. If the McLaren/Honda partnership pulls off the next five WDCs you'd have to say he should have stayed...
 
On a different note, Hamilton is doing a very good Vettel impression at the moment, isn't he?
Except Hamiltons car isn't on rails (and surprise surprise Vettel is struggling now that his car exhibits lateral movement). Hamilton is basically one helluva driver - arguably the best on the grid - can master anything. But of course some of us knew that already.
 
Indeed he has, and as with Vettel, Schumacher, Prost, Senna, Button, Mansell, etc, etc, before him he's using it to the full. Including showing his team mate a clean pair of heels. Whether you like him as a person Lewis Hamilton has to be the most naturally talented driver in F1 since Michael Schumacher.
 
I believe they are all (Well mostly all, there are a few exceptions.) very talented drivers, given the right equipment any one of them could win multiple WDC's I don't agree you can stick one above the other in that respect and I am not going to buy into this Vettel is rubbish malarkey that is starting to go around..

I'm surprised Mephistopheles . Surely young Seb' is just ripe for some of your superb and insurmountable cutting, barbed and depressing but astute commentary. Perhaps if he continues to under perform we can look forward to a wonderfully eloquent demolition of the man, particularly with regard to how he has betrayed your faith and trust in his ability whilst on his way to his own annus horribilis? :thinking:

:)
 
Indeed, he has bigger cheeks than Lewis Hamilton ...

Until Lewis shows he can win titles in a bad car I don't think we can rate him......

Oh no. Sorry. Thats Seb isn't it. *slaps hands*

I never get why people have to destroy one driver in order to praise another. The fact that people recognise the amazing talent of Lewis Hamilton obviously means they can see talent so why deny that Seb has any with this "its all the car" crap. Whether it be 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012 and even 2014 (yes. Have people forgotten his Malaysian podium already) we've seen Seb pull out results with far less that a 'car on rails'

Very similar to the amazing Lewis Hamilton of the thread topic.

It is an odd thing that people do. They don't do it with food. You never hear someone say "Cheese Burgers are the best food in the world because their juicy, covered in cheese and have lots of different elements. Unlike Steak which is usually served on its own. I've had a couple of Steaks that weren't cooked right in the last few weeks and I think that vindicates my opinion that steaks are crap and Cheese Burgers are the most naturally cooked food since Curry"
 
RasputinLives - Ah, but I had Cheeseburger in the same meal as Chips, and I think Chips won. Therefore Chips is the best, even despite a later defeat to Chicken.

Although Chips beat Chicken one meal on countback, when I threw up.

Curry didn't have any strong platemates, just Naan. Clearly its legacy was overrated compared to Pie, whose mealmate battle with Roast Potatoes was legendary.
 
I can't believe no one has mentioned Mash Potato who has pretty much had the most difficult platemates of anyone. I know it often gets knocked due to the fact that the plate gave it clear number one status over gravy and gravy was forced to move aside to let it be eaten first on more than one occasion but you can't argue that it got on top of Sausage.

I'm a bit concerned about these 'pay foods' like Sprouts and Cabbage. I don't think they are in the eating game for taste but are here purely on their nutritional value. We have to be careful that foods with real taste don't miss out on being on a plate to the likes of them. Also is it just me or did Cress add nothing at all? Appears to be there for decoration.

Anyways to save us going down this obscure Izzardesque pathway my middle of the night manflu delierium sent us on I'll bring the topic back to Lewis Hamilton and say that although I'd like to.see him pushed a bit more he's not really put a foot wrong so far this season.
