Briton not popular with Australian, German and Spaniard
Lewis Hamilton’s racing has come under criticism from his F1 rivals following a couple of controversial manoeuvres in the Italian Grand Prix on Sunday. The McLaren driver - sporting an increasingly large chip on his shoulder - was in the spotlight once again for his on-track antics at Monza.
Surprisingly, first in the queue for a spot of Lewis-bashing was former team-mate Fernando Alonso. “There was some unnecessary movements he made and he repeated them with Glock and Webber,” the Spaniard said. “It is his way of racing.” But Alonso need not have worried about fighting Timo Glock’s battles as he was only too happy to speak out against Hamilton for himself.Â
“I do not know what he was thinking. I was right next to him but he left me no room. Sometimes he drives as though he is completely alone on the track,” he told German broadcaster RTL. “The next time I am with him (on track), I will behave with him in exactly the same way.”
A move on Mark Webber in which Hamilton clipped the Red Bull driver’s car has also been under scrutiny. Is Lewis just everyone’s whipping boy at the minute? Or does he need to sort out his on-track attitude?

Those drivers are a bunch of girls. They are jealous and pathetic, particularly big baby Alonso. At least Lewis knows how to overtake.

Top of the league racing, do they need to ask to overtake, short memories re-schumacher, Senna, the list goes on, you need to be single minded to become a world champion, and lewis now has that.
“oh do you mind so much if I pass you at 200mph?, oh thank you kind sir”

Perhaps the number 5 driver on ability behind Alonso, Vettel, Kubica and Raikkonen should shut his ugly fat gob up, keep the car on the fecking track and stop trying to kill the other drivers in moronic and reckless manouvres.
Then we might not have to hate the twat quite so much…

Manoeuver against Glock was indefensible and had nothing to do with racing anymore. The other drivers are right to condemn this kind of behaviour. I wonder if the young drivers like Hamilton are already feeling invulnerable?

To A Ludlow : A spoiled brat, who does not know his place! Give respect to the double world champion instead of crying on Ron Dennis´lap!
