Lewis loses friends, alienates people
If you polled F1 drivers on who they want to win the title this season, not many would answer Lewis Hamilton. You’d expect Heikki Kovalainen to side with his McLaren team-mate, but who else is in Lewis’s corner? Adrian Sutil, maybe. And, er, that’s it.
Looking around the paddock, it seems there is a shortage of love for Lewis. Fernando Alonso is shameless enough to tell a newspaper that he wants Felipe Massa to win; Robert Kubica - who used to be Hamilton’s mate - says Lewis is a dangerous driver; Nick Heidfeld thinks Lewis hasn’t “learnt his lesson”; Jarno Trulli reportedly wasn’t happy that Lewis ignored blue flags for at Fuji… the list goes on.
So where are the drivers rooting for Lewis? Well, that’s the thing. As far as we can tell, there are no drivers rooting for him. Eight out of ten drivers would rather see Felipe Massa crowned as world champ.
Why is this? Could it be that Hamilton’s aggressive, karting style of driving pisses off the other drivers? Surely not (ahem).

Lewis, Massa or Kubica: who’ll win the F1 title now?

Because they don’t like the idea of a black man being the youngest world champion. They are a bunch of whining, cheating, hypocritical, racist bastards.

Lewis has had this jealous racist shit since he was a boy and I’m sure he is happy as long as his co-workers, his friends, his family and his girlfriend love him, and they surely do. Kubica is an ugly SOB who is rude to his engineers and a vile twat. As for Alonso, well … The rest of them can go to Hell.

The authors of this blog really seem to value the free speech of their commentators…

There is nothing better than a person of color winning the WDC, Massa or Hamilton pick your poison really. Both of those drivers will do, its like a big FUCK YOU to those racist cock suckers. But its Hamilton’s arrogant attitude, its like he doesn’t know whats he’s doing wrong or he just doesn’t care. He’s young and he’ll grow up soon enough. Everyone thought was an arrogant young bastard too, just ask Senna. Lewis just needs to grow up and he’ll be a great champion.

you know, watching the interview post-race yesterday….i noticed someting i havent noticed before…..all the guys from the podium (bobby, nando and kimi), all of them were very humble and polite (except nando when talking about lewis), all seemed very sweet and simple people.
when hamilton is on the podium, he is so cocky, arrogant and always has a crooked smile that says ”i’m better than you, hehe”….I HATE THAT !
god bless him, i love his driving style, but i just wish someone would pull him asside and say to him ”man, at least try to fake it that you’re a nice person…dont rub it in everyone’s faces”…
i want him to win because i think massa is too bad of a driver, and i just dont think he will ever deserve to be an f1 champion…he just sucks…and HALF the points he has he has not deserved, he got them thanks to the stewards and ferrari bought the points for him…..
i mean, i think lewis deserves the title, because i think massa DOES NOT (and will never) DESERVE IT. but, i just wish he would have a little bit better personality.
or maybe it’s because i’m a sensitive chick…and am not looking at this rationaly ??????
anyways. i want it to be lewis. if not him, then bobby (who will win it sooner or later). BUT GOOD GOD, PLEEEEEASE DONT LET IT BE UNTALENTED TWAT MASSA !!!! GOOD GOD HELP US ALL (AND HELP F1) IF SUCH A CATASTROPHE SHOULD HAPPEN.
MASSA CAN SUCK IT.

A Ludlow , go fuck yourself, let the BEST driver win, not the most arrogant S.O.B

it hasnt taken Lewboy long to make himself so unpopular with everyone!!! hes got too much of the “Im gonna be like Senna” attitude about him and that doesnt fit with F1 anymore……..getting into 1 of the best cars in his first season could actually turn out to be a backward step for him!!! McMorons and Mercedes ahve put plenty of pressure on him to win, but hes cracking up again…..and Fernandos comments about helping Massa are really gonna screw with Lewis mind ………..:)

How does Massa not deserve to win a championship? Massa can drive as fast as Lewser and have proven so by winning GP’s. So what makes lewser more deserving than Massa? Explain that!! Jelena GET OFF LEWIS’ LIGHT SWITCH DICK!!!! Maybe that’s why he’s so quick, because he’s lighter down there.
