He did his back pretty badly at Suzuka.

Yeah I am. You ever watch something for as long you can remember, and then the moment a Dutch driver gets into the F1 these fairweather assholes come in with their stupid loving outfits and make embarrassments of themselves?

That's what's happening now. It happened in the 90's and it's gonna happen again.

I feel that way every time the British go out country supporting 'England' at football.

If it wasn't for his attitude problem he'd probably be one of my favorite drivers, but he always acted like he was so hard done by and refused to put any effort in.

His attitude didnt bother me as a young lad. I thought he was, and still do, awesome. Mansell is the reason why today, you guys have to put up with me.

I've got terrible news for you: this is how the British act when they go abroad for any reason. It's especially great in countries where the main language is not English, because they will typically behave as is everyone should speak English but at the same time no one actually does speak English (and it's therefore appropriate to yell obscenities all over the place, since the foreigns won't understand).

You can't argue that English/British people are insufferable, both abroad and at home.

He perfectly embodies the British national spirit of being innately talented but refusing to do any hard work and then just having a moan when things don't work out.

Yeah I'd really say this is Lewis's championship to lose after today. He's got the advantage on almost every front.

I was thinking exactly that during the closing laps. All we need is for a commentator to utter the same thing live on air and invoke the dreaded commentator's curse.

It's actually a pretty good read. He does still seem a bit twattish, but by the end you do kind of agree with him on most things.

But that means Rosberg will win, unless somehow both Merc drives become absolute poo poo, letting the bogan win (Riccardo can only get 351 points, assuming he wins the remaining 8 races).

Ricciardo and Webber are cashed up bogans, so they suppress their bogan urges most of the time but sometimes during an emotional moment their bogan behaviour takes over and they do something gross like this. Much to the embarrassment of us regular Aussies.

I feel like he came into the sport too late, if he was around in the 90s he would've just been just as successful as Alesi.

Watching the interviews now thinking that it is good there are engine change penalties, that will stop a dominate team from using new motors constantly.

Now after this race Lewis went from the back of the grid to 3rd and he has more engines available than most people.

Yes what a surprise, a biography painting a nice picture about a person.

I think in http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/opinion/f1/frank-dernie-podcast we learn that he really kept pissing everyone off while Piquet was a nice chap.
