I don't know who you are Der Kyhe, did you have a name/AV change? Because I don't see your name on the secret vendetta list issued to us by the Queen.

No I am just a _very_ longtime lurker who sometimes comments on poo poo.

But it exists!

Just look deep into your soul and it is there! Just hymn "Maamme"-song while inserting the screwdriver into your brain via nasal cavity and twist it around to reach that sweet utopia.

Like most of the "Lewis was cheated"-people has done before you.

I thought all the brits in this thread disliked Lewis because he wants to be a bad and uncouth American and escape the harsh reality of growing up in the mean streets of Stevenage, Hertfordshire with it dangerous late 1960s architecture, proximity to Knebworth and low low crime though?

In more relevant news Paddy is going for a pay rise and seems to be rolling the hard six. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/rival-f1-team-bid-for-lowe-adds-pressure-to-mercedes-talks-858200/

Poor Paddy, I imagine he has barely slept since Abu Dhabi, where he was forced to commit treason against our Lewis over team radio, probably under torture from Niki Lauda and the Mercedes moustache guy. He had no choice but reading the statement from Stuttgart that they gave him, but his tone of voice said: "Get in there Lewis!!! You deserve this!!!! Don't let us steal the title from you!!!!!"

Now that the British Bleeding Heart Society is trying to get me probated I will also come out and say that yes, I miss having Maldonado in the grid. What does motorsports need? Excitement. Maldonado was certainly that. And as much as it hurts to say so, Bottas in the Mercedes and those N+1 "dontgiveashit"-drives in the back rows are certainly not that.

I legit think the warmest thing said about are poois in the worst thread is "not as bad as_____, mostly, but with ___________ caveats".

Also the majority of British people think he's a bellend. The reason the media loves to talk him up is because people that hate him click on "things lewis did on a smartphone this time" even more than fans.

Lewis is ever so slightly less annoying than Nigel Mansell was when he was racing, but there is still enough time left for him to be much much worse. #blessed #positiveside

I remember years ago somebody complaining about how Mansell was bringing the Football hooliganism culture into the sport. I think that was wrong but I can see that sort of argument holding some merit for alot of poois fans.

Mansell's issue was that he was a dick and lazy and people kept calling him on it. Lewis' issue is that he is a dick and lazy and nobody bothers to seriously call him on it.

Nige was an alright driver but I was more of a Piquet person and Mansell always seems to have a moan whenever he talks about his time in the sport so he puts me off a little bit.

Looking back its pretty amazing that Williams developed the best active suspension car given that neither of their drivers were particularly fond of the system and their lead driver hated testing.

He also made mad bank doing it. Dude drives around in an iconic team within the sport, gets paid mad bucks (well beyond his worth, and I say that as a Kimi fan) and makes Vettel look as average as he actually is when not driving a Neweymobile.


It's pretty good to be Kimi.

Ya Kimi on paper was nothing special this year except he pretty much has the best god drat job in the world and is banging a super hot chick while making mad bank. You really can't hate on the guy for just embracing the poo poo out of being a Ferrari number 2 driver.

Hold the gently caress on... any meaningful measurement? Like race wins and poles perhaps?

Also you presume that I don't want to live in a world where fernando only has one WDC. Some of us diehard Lewis fan boys still hate that oval office for this treatment of be second cumming of Christ /Senna.
