it’s nice to see a journalist finally have a balanced view on hamilton, unlike some Keith has linked on here.

And what a difference 6 months make eh persempre?

Couldn’t have put it better myself, he is a self important, self indulgent nobody, who doesn’t even register on Lewis’s radar.

does he really know nothing about motorsport?

You mean like the representative of a very well known daily paper who had to ask who a certain lady in the paddocl was, muscled through the crowd around her & asked what her husband was doing now? Shocked silence followed.
She was the widow of a famous WDC driver sadly killed on track.

For obvious reasons I`ve left all names out but believe me, I don`t believe one person on this site would not know the names involved. That, sadly, is the level of knowledge of some f the people reporting the F1 as “motorpsorts correspondents”.

Typical sort of article you would expect from The Daily Mail, rubbish. Is he trying to claim Hamilton got his ‘revenge’ by driving fast when giving McEvoy a test drive in the Mercedes SLR, because that is the whole point of those events, or does he really know nothing about motorsport?

To Hamilton McEvoy is probably just another journalist, rather than his nemesis like the self important Daily Mail writer seems to think.

Its not just NASCAR. GM are pulling the Corvettes out of GT1, and VX Racing out of the BTCC. Are they going to cut back or pull Opel out of DTM too?
Strangely though, there is no sign of the ‘Chevrolet’ ex-Daewoo cars leaving either BTCC or WTCC.

See? Even in *sports reporting, “journalists” have an agenda. They must all think we’re all idiots.

“Government Motors?”
LOL well there’ll be a lot of sound and fury, but thats about it. No way will the public stand still for what they would view as “extravagant” adverts, so nascar is doomed. Eventually, of course, with that well-known businessman, auto magnate, and after-dinner speaker Pres. O. calling the shots, they’ll go belly up. (I thought we elected a Pres of the *country, not of some car company?)

Stupid papers. Suddenly Hamilton’s a villain now he’s got an uncompetitive car? He was a hero last year and wouldn’t say a bad word against him.

Usually there are two cars more or less matched for speed. So then there are 4 drivers in a field of 20 which are realisticly able to become WDC. That would mean the car determines 80%.
