And I guess I'm a bit jealous, because he is a tremendous driver, and will probably become a multiple world champion. He certainly has the abilities, but he has still much to learn in dealing with difficulties and managing his tyres better, but that will come as the time goes.

I just hope Massa wins this year, and that he gets a win in the rain.
I just want you to give only one humble champion from the last WC of the last 20 years; I'll give you the names and I want just one humble :
Schumacher, Alonso, Raikonnen, Hakkinen; Hill (maybe), Prost, Senna, Mansell, Piquet, Lauda :cool:

at least he doesn't say beautiful things like "I was thinking, 'Hang on, I'm no No 2, whoever you put me next to - even Michael Schumacher.' I was there to prove how good I was, which I did" or "We can just focus on improving the car because we have a reliable package and I'll just go on collecting points - which is what a world champion does."

I mean.. commoooonnnn!!!

Remember what he said in Valencia "When I am driving, nobody overtakes me". How many people have overtook him so far. I would love to see a force india overtake him.

Where does he come up with this silly nonsense? I guess since he thinks he's senna he reckons he could take on schumi.

I think he is a very decent young man but getting very bad influence from the likes of JAMES ALLEN, MARTIN BRUNDLE, & RON DENNIS - not necessarilly in that order. For those of you who don't watch ITV, you are saved from listening to a lot of Hamilton hype nonsense under the guise of f1 commentary.

He is confident but not without good reason. Almost winning the championship on your first year is something special.

I dont think Martin Brundle is to blame at all - he is being ordered by ITV to be Hamilton biased - itvs ratings have soared since LH's arrival but James Allen is. Ron Dennis is his boss, so of course he will favour him- dont forget Steve Allen.

Cause he's spoiled like a brat.
He's very arrogant.
He acts like a rookie sometimes.
He's a talent and he's showin off how good are his driving skills.

Thats the reason for me, its a mix between arrogance - brat's behavin and the fact that he's a great driver.

Anyway, we have seen the same type of hype by ITV commentators before - regarding Jenson Button. Goodness me! you should have listened to James Allen when JB won in Hungary. You'd have thought he has won the championship!

Lewis irritates me cos he never has anything interesting to say and tries to be the clean-cut young man when we can see a darker side to his character (see his row with Alonso).Nonetheless its the stuff that comes with Hamilton,the British bias towards him,the sucking up to him by the media(mainly ITV and the BBC),and the sycophants who tell him how great he is that really annoys me.
