just wondering.
as for me I'd have to say I dislike Hamilton at times, for example Canada GP this year and at Belgium when when he didn't give Kimi the recquired cars length distance.

Used to be Michael Schumacher. Little bit of tall poppy syndrome I guess.

Now its Vettel after he shunted Webber at Fuji. Arrogant Hamilton a close second.

Lewis Hamilton for me as well. Not because of Hamilton himself but just because of the way he is glamorised in the media..I'm just sick of hearing about him to be honest. The worst example was at the end of the Monaco GP when James Allen said "Lewis walks in the shadow of Ayrton Senna!" which was ridiculous. The media just love Hamilton to death and it's just getting beyond annoying. His name is mentioned about 500 times by the itv commentators per race which is excruciating, but I guess itv is british. When I talk to friends who don't follow F1 they always ask if Hamilton had won because that's the only name they ever hear about.

He does not deserve to be compared to sporting legends at all yet, all he has done is win races here and there- about he same amount as two other guys, one of which actually won the world championship last year. But he is British. I remember the early days of Button in Williams, when they used to say he would win a world championship Laughing

I hate Hamilton too. The way his camp treated Alonso last year is the reason. Hamilton was the rookie and Alonso was the reigning world champion, but the way they carried on it was as if it was the other way around. His father in particular.

stupidest comment james allen has ever made. ayrton senna is a one and only, and i highly doubt somebody will match him in terms of pure class for a very long time. all because hamilton has the same helmet too. itv commentary frustrates me, and i made a thread about this a few months ago - its absolute rubbish how they think he's a god and ignore the other 19 drivers.

but my most hated driver is alonso...imo much of the implosion at mclaren last year was caused by him and his expectation of preferential treatment.

To their credit i reckon they have been showing a lot less of him lately...theyve been showing actual battles down the field instead showing Lewis doing circles...thank god

Yes I'm a Hamilton hater as well.

I think to be a graceful winner in F1, you have to do some time in one of the slower cars. It's only by being one of the laggards that you appreciate things like the importance of your team, or you learn to respect other drivers and so on.

In F1 (apart from a little FIA intervention) Hamilton has had everything handed to him on a silver plate. He was gifted a fast car without wasting a few years in a Force India or a STR or a Honda, partly because he is British, and partly because he *****ycuddled Ron Dennis. He also picked an era where the rules allowed McLaren to play catch up to Ferrari, and when Michael Schu. was not arround.

Hamilton seems to think that all his results are due to his skill. They partially are. But - maybe becuase he hasn't been in a minnow team before - he has a grossly inflated ego.

That's why I have not the slightest sympathy for him spinning out yesterday. Those who respected the track and the conditions qualified at the top, and most of them were either at minnow teams, or had spent plenty of time at them.

Exactly...much the same as Schumacher, until he decided to rebuild the Ferrari team...i have the utmost respect for him when it came to that, although some of the methods he and the team used could be called into question...

Look at the true greats: Senna started with Toleman and had to prove himself, while Prost started out in a trully uncompetitive McLaren, and Piquet in an Ensign and then an (at that point) under performing Brabham...None of them sat straight into a championship caliber car...Hell even Alonso started out in a Minardi
