Re: Lewis Tweet: Need analysis

It was a bit of a silly one, but as a fan, I was absolutely delighted to see the tweet. It was so cool to get that insight in such a manner, he was giving something to the fans. I don't think he realised the mistake until it was done. Gotta ask though, why did whichever team member let him take a ph...

Re: Did last season really suck? Or is this season really g

Last season had it's good points, some really exciting races, generally ones where Vettel didn't win, it's never that fun watching a driver dominate a season like he did. I guess it may be different if it's the driver you support. Last year didn't suck, but this year it's far more competitive and we...

Re: Peter Windsor and Rob Wilson on the best of the current

I posted this in the Kimi forum as I thought it would get a bit of a response but to no avail. Regardless, having watched the video blog ( http://smibs.tv/live ) of Peter Windsor last week with analysis from Rob Wilson (driving coach to a number of current drivers by all accounts) there was somethi...

Re: Is Vettel the new Hamilton?

I think why people don't "like" Hamilton is because of ITV it was basically "Hamilton, Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton Hamilton" Then a bit about Raikkonen, then introducing the race was, "Now we get to see how Britain's Lewis Hamilton gets on". I su...

Re: Sky F1 Website

From my experience of using the Sky site to find out prices... I'm not surprised. By contrast (and take this with the pinch of salt: I can't afford Sky's F1 package anyway): BBC's iPlayer is way ahead of the competition when it comes to online TV. Way, way ahead. Contrast ITV, Sky, anything using M...

Re: Lewis Hamilton

As far as I can remember, he didn't make any errors during the race bar losing one place on the start. If he had made a bad start you would have expected him to have been mugged by Schumacher as well, given the starts the Mercedes - particularly those with Schumacher at the wheel - typically give. ...

Yes, Button beat Hamilton, he did the better job over the year. He wasn't up until Monaco, he hadn't been doing any better than him, in face...

Okay, so in the interests of covering every angle of my opinion here's my layout: How I rate them: 1: Hamilton - 9/10 I think Hamilton has the most natural talent, he just needs to harness it. 2: Alonso - 8.8/10 At the moment, the best overall package on the grid, relentlessly consistent, agressive...

Canada 2010. He proved he could control rapidly degrading tyres and was still quick enough to win! I had a knot in my back from tensing the whole way through the race. It was exciting! ;)

Re: The Lewis Hamilton appreciation thread (official)

I genuinely think he'll do well this season. Being honest I don't think Button was his problem last year. He equalled Button's wins, he made mistakes, and he also had his fair share of bad luck - punctures, pit stops, strategy errors. All in all he finished 43 points off Button. In your worst season...
