The F1 Thread 2012 Season

Are they children?

Lewis Hamilton ‏@LewisHamilton

Just noticed @jensonbutton unfollowed, thats a shame. After 3 years as teammates, I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't.

:lol:

Just because he doesn't follow you on Twitter doesn't mean he doesn't respect you.
 
Get these athletes off twitter, it's becoming a joke now

:lol::lol:

Lewis Hamilton is like the child of F1, he needs to get someone to start holding his hand around the paddock, stop him saying things that are downright stupid
 
That tweet was from 4/5 days ago too!

:lol:

I'm a Lewis fan but this is just pure comedy.
 
He couldnt make himself look any more unprofessional if he tried.
 
Brilliant driver, but quite glad I won't have to worry about him being a pillock next year.
 
Seeing as we are on the topic of useless cnuts, anyone see Sky's interview with JB after the race, feck me Georgie Thompson at it again :rolleyes:

Georgie - "What do you think of taking the fight to Red Bull?"

JB - [slight pause, confused look] "what do I think? [slight laugh] erm yeah thats what we are going to try and do.."

slight awkward pause follows...

Useless bitch:rolleyes:
 
Here is the glorious moment from the dumb bitch herself at 8:45

 
Whoever the feck it is, Natalie Pinkham is just as useless as Georgie is.
 
@LewisHamilton

My bad, just found out Jenson never followed me. Don't blame him! Need to be on Twitter more!

:lol:
 
He has just apologised on twitter now:lol:

Dont worry lewis, nobody was blaming him anyway.
 
Ahh Lewis, he'll probably now complain about Jenson never following him.
 
:lol:

I don't know whats funnier, the fact he never followed him in the first place or that Hamilton got upset about it anyway. Jesus christ I know Lewis is a sulky feck when things don't go his way but thats pathetic.
 
I love this reply someone left on his most recent tweet :lol:

@LewisHamilton Well, you look like a massive tit now!
 
So what he's just gone and done is basically admit to the world they no longer get on after initially being quite pally. Wonder what happened.
 
Jenson knows the game, hes been around a long time in multiple teams and had to assert his authority politically behind the scenes. Hamilton never had to do that, hes basically been expected to win and beat his team mates since 2008, that and he is also an incredible sulk.

They were never friends, they got paid to get along for sponsorship and team purposes. I don't think they dislike each other, I just don't think they are mates off track either like most F1 drivers.

But I think McLaren should pull any episodes of Tooned they have left :lol:

It's what happens when you get thrown straight into a championship winning team. Hamilton has never learned the need to make allies with the crew, since the Mclaren crew have always supported him since he's part of them since his junior days.

It'll be interesting to see how he does next year, he'll need to learn how to play the backroom politics with the crew to get their support or he'll be in with a hard year. It'll be easy if he keeps winning races, but once he hits a bad patch of form, there'll be a strain in relations, especially with his habit of blaming everybody but himself.

Well the one thing he has going for him at Mercedes is Rosberg, they are actual off track friends and have been since childhood, although that could quite easily turn sour in a competitive environment.

I don't think we will truly know what went on behind the scenes there until we get the usual reveal all books but something wasn't right.

Reckon Mclaren just realised he wasn't worth that much money and trouble.

Has he honestly improved since he came on to the scene? I reckon Rosberg would finish ahead of him next year, would be fun watching Hamilton's reaction if that really happens.

Definitely, this year has shown huge improvements in his tyre management and maturity in his race craft.

I reckon Rosberg would finish ahead of him next year, would be fun watching Hamilton's reaction if that really happens.

Based on what? If it's raw speed then Hamilton is a much faster driver than Rosberg.
 
Bit of news going into Korea. Turns out Hamilton had a suspension issue at Suzuka that caused his setup woes, time for that FIA delegate in the garage :lol:

He also has a new pitstop crew, http://f1zoom.fx1.nl/?year=2012&race=korea&img=229&full=1

Also, to quote an apparent in the know from the Autosport forums, The 2007 £49m FIA fine has been found to be tax deductible, in an appeal case of HMRC vs McLaren. That's pretty funny.

Rosberg wouldn't have finished ahead of an ageing Schumacher this year if it wasn't for reliability.

Hamilton brings a lot of baggage to the team that's signing him, who knows how tolerant they might be of it as compared to Mclaren. And it's not uncommon for teams to have a divide among their team for the drivers, if Hamilton doesn't get on their good side fast, they might just decide to concentrate on Rosberg instead.
