I am sorry but I find that to be very inaccurate, when did Hamilton complain? Could you give me a couple of examples? Yes infact, every time his car is not exactly the way he wants he complains, if he doesent win its always the cars fault. And he never helps to pack after a race like the other drivers do. Thats atleat how it was last season. Do you actually have any strong evidence of bad behaviour on lewis? Everyone complains when the car has a bad setup, so that the mechanics can fix that. As far as I know none of the drivers help to pack up after a race, even if some drivers do you cant blame the ones who dont because its simply not their job. I am not even going to comment on the 2nd claim. If you have any evidence on these things (link a video or something else)......
Why do so many people say Hamilton is an egoist, shelfish, cocky etc etc I dont get it. Obviously nobody is perfect but I have seen plenty of interviews of him and I never never got that impression. I used to like Nico as well, he can be a solid racer and a nice personality but ever scinse Mercedes built that very strong car it feels to me like he has been trying to sometimes get ahead of lewis using dirty methods instead of a straight fight. I truly admire the fact that he doesnt settle in the number 2 driver role that everyone excpected him to be in Mercedes but instead pushes lewis as hard as he can and wants a piece of the cake, it has made the races much more interesting. It seems however that he cant handle it if someone is faster than him and can act really stupid.

Im not here to ague with anyone, let's just agree to disagree.

Hamilton wears his heart on his sleeve for better or for worse which makes him much more likeable or relatable in my opinion. Rosberg seems calculated in front of the media, praising Hamilton and seemingly taking defeat in his stride on the one hand but not being able to hide his true colours on the track which makes him seem disingenuous and fake.
Being pissy about Hamilton slowing him down (in his opinion) and ruining his chance for a race victory by using the undercut because he had to defend from the Ferrari's. I've got news for you Nico; Hamilton overtook you on the track plenty of times last year so if you want to win a race take the fight to him and don't cry to the team managers about being in his dirty air and him ruining your tires. That's not racing that's being a vindictive prick that tries to negotiate his way to a victory rather than earning it the real way.

Tbh I'm not a fan of Hamilton's personality, but he's British so I don't give a ****. But I'd rather root for Hulkenberg and Grosjean

I know this is completely irrelevent to what is happening right now in F1 but this guy is so right: youtu.be/xRvcxykZVVs?t=3m53s Yes I agree, what we have now is quite nice to watch and I defenitaly prefer it over the 2009-2013 era but it could have been much better.

WAAH he takes the words from my mind!! F1 should be the most bad ass sport of them all thats why its F1. It's not fun when GP2, GP3 and the saftycars sound more then the F1 cars. I agree with all he says, only I prefer the V8 or V10

Nokia, cigarettes and an ashtray on the table? How old is this vid? (I do agree with it though)

Nokia, cigarettes and an ashtray on the table? How old is this vid? (I do agree with it though) Peter Windsor's youtube channel is great, I absolutely recommend you watch some more of it. Rob Wilson has coached several F1 drivers from recent years, such as Räikkönen and Montoya. Even though he's a bit biased towards drivers like Räikkönen, he's got a huge amount of knowledge and insider stories about F1. My opinion about the V6 vs. V8 vs. V10 thing. I've been watching F1 from 1998-99 onwards, and I've gotten used to big overhauls in F1 rules, grooved vs. slick tyres, refueling, aero rules etc. To be honest, I enjoy seeing teams go through the hurdles of new restrictions and I'm always amazed by the results, and same thing goes with the modern V6 power units. It's the second season with the V6 and the performance has improved significantly, the lap times are already close with the V8s, which were already nearing their development peak. In my opinion the problem isn't the V6, the problems lie elsewhere. The idea about promoting F1 as a environment-friendly sport is not working. Motorsports that are using fossil fuels are never going to satisfy the eco-people, they're always finding more problems to complain about. The V6's great potential is killed by strict fuel-flow and fuel limit rules. edit: I do miss the noise, though.

That was a quite fun race to watch. Such a shame about Red Bull and Toro Rosso though, they both seem to have a good car but the Renault engine unit is ruining everything for them. Even when it is working, its still costing them so much time down the straights www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzLVN7YTp5c Williams are in a big gap between Ferrari and Red Bull now, pretty much racing on their own, lets hope the 3 week break changes that. Also it was pretty suprising watching Vettel do an avarage race.
