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"

Top 3 possibilities

1. Gay
2. Name change to M.C. Blessed
3. Something mundane like he has just enjoyed a sandwich.

Well three is just absurd. What vegan sandwich could possibly be enjoyable?!

Have we ever had any openly gay F1 drivers? If not why not? Statistics would imply there should be some.

There is only one known openly gay F1 driver- Mike Beuttler...

Mike Beuttler - Wikipedia

There have been unsubstantiated allegations against other, more recent F1 drivers, but none of them were openly “out”.

Whilst one might expect more than one across almost 70 years of F1, in modern F1, i’m Not overly surprised that those who are gay are not coming out, due to some of the regimes that F1 visits...

What a positive example to vegans everywhere.

3) Mundane.

Is it a vegan super bike?

 

[Titch]

Maybe he’s going to quit F1 and go for eco friendly super bike racing instead.

There are quite a few biofuel farmers around nowadays, presumably you only need to use up what would be food and convert it to fuel instead; great vegan position.

I bet it’s stinky. So then we have smell pollution. I wonder what the vegan viewpoint on smelly fuel is?

 

[siffert_fan]

Since humans have the digestive system of an omnivore rather than an herbivore, a vegan diet causes increased flatulence. I therefore doubt that "smelly" fuel would bother them in the least.

On a carbon related note though aren't the emissions from the racing and cargo transport offset by the commercial rights holder in the form of carbon certificates? I'm sure I read something about that some time ago.

 

[Titch]

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

 

[RasputinLives]

Do Cow Farts Really Significantly Contribute to Global Warming?

Has Lewis seen this and that's why he is wearing leather?

Yes, FOM have a carbon off set programme but after the oil has been burned it's gone so it's hardly sustainable no matter how many trees you plant.

 

[The Artist.....]

FB- you only need to wait a few hundred thousand years,and the trees become oil again!

 

[FB]

That'll work. Actually, don't trees become coal and animals oil?

 

[siffert_fan]

FB- you only need to wait a few hundred million years,and the trees become oil again!

Fixed that for you

 

[teabagyokel]

I don’t believe there’s a threat of me being contradicted when I say that waiting around is not an idea that could sustain the current human lifestyle for too long.

Hamilton has one hell of a capacity for cognitive dissonance, though.

Interesting stuff about Lewis on social media about having an Instagram message deleted which was rude about Donald Trump and some discussion about him "taking a knee" an the national anthem at Austin.
