I much closer identify with the crybaby on the mercedes team than the douche. I’m ok with this.

Not sure if sarcasm, I’ve never seen that feed.

I sometimes see brief moments of awesome-cool-generous-fun-guy , but they are rare.

One has to hope that he does have some humility and generosity buried deep down in there somewhere, but the cynical side of me often thinks people with egos this big do “nice” things just to make their fans think better of them. If you take your photographer to charity events, or issue a press release when you make a big donation, you’re doing it wrong...

For some reason, the verses they cut out of the single version of Heroes seem to apply.

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing, will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

And you, you can be mean
And I, I’ll drink all the time
‘Cause we’re lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we’re lovers, and that is that

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could steal time, just for one day
We can be heroes, forever and ever
What’d you say?

Seriously...he acts and dresses like a fair amount of European pro athletes of African descent. This is Mario Balotelli, a soccer player over in Italy. His clothing is terribly normal for who he is and where he was raised. Throw in the racist garbage he had to deal with coming up racing and you have a young man in Lewis Hamilton who has decided he is going to be black as shit publicly. I mean, he picked Hank Aaron jersey number for his car. He is INSISTING that you see him as a black man in this sport.

he is going to be black as shit publicly.

I understand what you’re saying, but I think he’s being as “ Beiber as shit publicly” if you ask me. No matter the color of someone’s skin, that’s obnoxious.

And speaking of Kings - I can’t believe I didn’t add this to my “King” comment earlier. Mind = blown

I met him in the paddock for a second, he put his arm around me for someone to take a pic and thanked me for the support, seemed really nice and cool to me.

You have it backwards. Beiber is acting black as shit publicly, but he ain’t black. Lewis is not acting, that is my point.

I’ve never said he wasn’t nice. It’s this larger-than-life shtick that get the reaction out of me.

They have so much attention focused on them, it must be mind boggling. Who knows what that’s like. I don’t follow social media so I only see them on race broadcasts and interviews.

Hey, you compared an 30 year old elite athlete to a 21 year old pop star, not me. If you made a better comparison, I would not be as harsh about it. Which is really my point about Lewis. He is graded on a different scale the the rest of the dudes in F1. If Lewis acted like Kimi while having the season that Kimi is having, Lewis would be SAVAGED in the media and internet. And when someone else in F1 has their family disrespected like this, please let me know. If I were him, I would barely give interviews after shit like this.

Pretty tasteless, which is why it’s best not to follow him on social media.

In any case, when a driver does something like this, even if it is disagreeable and pointless, I still prefer it to robotic PR machines anyday.

I’m saying man. Kimi kept the 4th best seat in F1 with his attitude and results this season? But Lewis is the prima donna? What did Jon Stewart say in his last show? “If you smell something, SAY something?”

I’m saying something. It’s bullshit and it needs to stop.
