“By no means have I ever suggested that I’m better than Ayrton – for me he’s the king, and always will be,” Hamilton said.”

i hate when people like LMAO take things completely out of context. he said he ADMIRED Senna. that Senna was his role model and that he aspires to be like Senna. how is that arrogant? how is that disgraceful? sounds more like a tribute to me.

he may beat schumachers records but schumacher was nothing

now he is comparing himself to senna – noone does that except god

hamilton shut up and hurry up and loose the championship again

and to the people who make character judgements on Hamilton, saying things like “he takes things for granted blah blah blah”…um, do you know him personally? Have you spoken with him? Do you magically know what he’s thinking? What grounds do you have to make these assumptions about him? Listen to his post qualifying and post race interviews. He is the most grateful person I’ve heard in a long time in professional motorsports. He’s always thankful and amazed at where he is and what he’s accomplished, always thanking his team. People who make these outrageous claims about his personality simply dont like him and are MAKING THINGS UP! come on, grow up people.

and to say today’s drivers are less technically and mechanically savvy than before? are you serious? today’s drivers almost have to be engineers to communicate with their team about what the car is doing and what it needs during tests and practice. they can’t/dont just say, “the car is loose” or something like that. you don’t get anywhere near F1 if you cant understand and communicate about intricate technical details about the car. do some research before you make asinine statements like that.

and all this if if if if crap about things like Vettel winning the championship already if he was in a better car. come on. if grandma had balls she’d be grandpa. the fact of the matter is that those sorts of assumptions are ridiculous. there are so many factors involved there is no way of even being close to certain. Who’s to say a McLaren or a Ferrari would suit Kubica’s or Vettel’s driving styles? They are the best of the rest, plain and simple. Until they get a drive in a better car, there is no way of knowing otherwise.

and people who say Hamilton will have problems next year because of the rule changes are downright ignorant. they were saying the same thing about this year because of the loss of traction control. Hamilton is a FORMULA 1 DRIVER! and a great one at that. he and every other driver will adapt to the changes in the off season, just like they always have whenever changes effecting the cars’ performance have taken place. the people who say he’ll have trouble act like the first time he’s gonna drive the new car will be in Australia in march next year. come on. have a little sense. drivers of Hamilton’s caliber will adapt in about a dozen laps during a test.

and to say he’ll be spinning shows just how much you dont know about racing cars. the cars are gaining slicks next year and losing some downforce. spins happen in lower speed corners, where mechanical grip has more importance than downforce. the cars will be gaining mechanical grip with the slicks. if Hamilton was going to be doing any spinning, he would have done it this year with the loss of traction control. and the downforce loss is mainly going to effect higher speed corners, which the drivers will deal with by braking more and taking the corner at lower speeds.

wow, that was quite a rant. but warranted given the nonsense that some of you are spewing.
