John H – saying “god was on my side” and saying “for god’s sake” is not the same at all; not even slightly. Atheists say “for god’s sake” all the time as a figure of speech, they never say “god was on my side”

I wish people would just leave him alone !
Just cos he’s different and talented…. people need to stop being so bloody jealous.
And who wouldn’t have a big head after his first season… You telling me that all the main line drivers don’t ?

It’s so annoying that people are short-sighted enough and mindless enough to not be able to make up their own mind about someone. My dad is a great example: he hates Hamilton because of the way people like James Allen etc. go on about him. Is that really Hamiltons fault? No doubt people will hate him because Reebok chose to do a ludicrous picture of him and stick it up in London – exactly how is that Hamiltons fault? He is getting cash from them – essentially he is on there pay role and will do as he’s told. How Reebok choose to do there advertising is out of his hands.
And as for the God comment: Somebody was looking down and favouring me the other day when I narrowly avoided an accident on the motorway. But really, do i think God is only on my side? of course not.
I ******* hate the press and I firmly believe the world could be one step closer to world peace without them stirring up **** all the time.

Interesting responses. While all have jumped to Hamilton’s defence. Same benefit is not given to his competitors for their (rather His) comments. We can’t give “Selective benefit of doubts” should we

Architrion – Looks like your comment was “overlooked”

Or maybe we should consider that he’s worshipped Ron Dennis for so long that he seems kinda like a god to him….;)

Alain Prost was the only one (as I recall) to criticise Senna’s faith. Prost thought Senna drove recklessly, aggressively and without due consideration for his or anybody else’s safety because he believed God would protect him. Prost might have just been saying that because his own overtaking moves had been criticised as timid, or even ‘balletic’ I think was the word used.

I for one am extremely pleased that Lewis is happy to talk about his faith, because it’s refreshing to hear an F1 driver talk about anything at all other than about what a great job the team did. When Lewis says God was on his side, it doesn’t preclude God being on other people’s sides as well (if you believe in an omnipotent God), and does reveal a little bit more about Lewis’s character, and makes him more likeable. And I say that speaking as an atheist.
