Still the funniest video of the season. As somebody amusingly said in the comments,
"If a Mclaren Mechanic did that ...Lewis would be docked points next season."

Isn't it odd that even a Ferrari fan, "MartinezMKD" suggested that the team should have run to the FIA for an investigation? Just bypass the stewards and get 'ol Max to jump in when they don't win... As usual. Spa comes to mind. Fuji with Massa and Bourdais comes to mind.

Just, you know, take down all the Ferrari sponsors on the wall when you hit it next time, too.

[Snakeyes]

lol what a nob....they look like idiots celebrating when they
didnt even win the title LOL

[f15active]

Actually they did win the title. Another prehistoric video from Drew, well done. No surprise both of you completely miss the point and the facts...again.

[mulishajp]

hahaha

[Snakeyes]

rofl...yes the won the constructors title.....but he was cut cause they didnt win the drivers title :)

[Allyc4t]

Is there any point with this video? or are you just trying to bait ferrari fans?

[Nuclearmadmoe]

Good find...never noticed that before.

[EAO_CrystaLM]

mail this back to last year when somebody might've cared

[T.Hussey]

But that's just the thing. A video similar to this WAS shown last year, yet your inability to laugh at Ferrari's expense was shown still. I wonder if the roles were reversed and it was Anthony Hamilton who had celebrated prematurely, would you be laughing? From what i've seen over time - my conclusion is that yes, yes you would.

[Webby]

That would probably be because Anthony Hamilton has turned himself into a celebrity, happy to pose for the cameras and prances around like he is F1's messiah - whilst Felipe's father and family have always at least attempted to maintain their dignity rather than sell their souls to the global media.

Furthermore, why wouldn't the Massa's be proud, Felipe crossed the line World Champion and that was an amazing effort, and even looking at the race in isolation, it was an amazing performance. He achieved what very few thought was possible, and he achieved that in spite of what had happened to him throughout the year. That engine failure in Hungary, the useless light system in Singapore, he was there right at the end despite his horrendous luck.

Lewis was somehow there despite trying his best to lose.

And yes, here comes the abuse, how the FIA and the stewards so nearly stole Lewis's title, but alas, somehow, out of the ashes, like a phoenix rising, he is champion!!! If it wasn't for Glock's Toyota struggling so badly, he would have crossed the line sixth and would have been runner up again from seemingly unlosable position. Add to that the Canada brain fade, the stupidity of Fuji, the unbelievable luck of Monaco, and it paints a picture of a season where "sure, Hamilton was fast, but never before has a driver made so many driving and mental mistakes and still walked away champion."

Now, say what you will about that, maybe, to you, that means he must be brilliant because despite obviously failing on the intelligence stakes, he still brained the field at Silverstone and was champion. Well, it's true, no one has even questioned his speed, so yeah, good for you, as a fan, you can live by that and enjoy it.

To some of us, it's actually sad for the sport that someone that runs into parked cars in the pitlane is now World Champion. Sorry state of affairs.

That is the way sport and life works, differing opinions, such is life. Liuve and let live I say.

Except for one thing, one thing I despise from both Lewis and his fans. The blatant and unrelenting whinging about the FIA, Ferrari and the bloody rules. All throughout the year, all you heard Lewis do was whinge and moan about how he is hard done by he was, and how the FIA and the stewards and the media were trying to take him down, but oh how he vowed from his shoebox to win in spite of them.

I mean, give me a break.

Newsflash mate, the world isn't out to get you, so stop acting like a petulant little child (which, you may recall, Hamilton fans accused some other Spanish guy the year before of being) and accept responsibility for your actions and realise that the world is far too interested in itself to worry about vilifying you day in day out across a season. That is my pet peeve with Lewis, and it carries to his fans who have gone from blaming Ferrari, the FIA, the stewards, the solar system, their own mothers and that bully in fifth grade at high school for being out to get Lewis, and have reverted to just being smug, and just downright arrogant.

Get a grip I say. So, I have no problem per se with Lewis or McLaren. Champions? Good for them! I'm also not a Ferrari fan, and I'm just happy to see some good racing. But the personality's are getting too much. Lewis needs to learn that the big, bad, nasty world hates him just as much as it hates the next guy, there's nothing special about him, WDC or not. Also, as he learns that lesson, pass it on to your fans - winning is great, but being a sore winner is not so great, in fact, it just erks people and the perpetual circle of polarised views on Hamilton just continues it's vicious circle.

Did I laugh at the Massa's? No. They are good people, their son, even momentarily, achieved the near impossible. They deserved that moment to savour, even if it was so brief. Becauase they may never get it again.

Would I have laughed at Anthony Hamilton? Maybe a little, the man has over stepped the mark on where parents should be in relation to F1, sure, that's probably the media's fault rather than his, but he laps it up like a puppy at the water bowl. It's always kind of rewarding to see those that play the media get a little comeupance.

[T.Hussey]

If it wasn't for Glock's Toyota struggling so badly, he would have crossed the line sixth and would have been runner up again from seemingly unlosable position.

If it weren't for Ayrton Senna being killed, Michael Schumacher may not have won all seven of his championships. If it weren't for Piquet crashing in Singapore, Alonso wouldn't nearly have won. If it weren't for Bourdais being penalised for some god-known-reason in Fuji, Massa wouldn't have come close.



The stupidity of Fuji

Any driver who locks the brakes under pressure is considered "stupid" as of now.



the unbelievable luck of Monaco

Massa's lack of talent, going off in the rain was another showing of Mr. Spin's pure skill in the wet.


To some of us, it's actually sad for the sport that someone that runs into parked cars in the pitlane is now World Champion. Sorry state of affairs.

To some of us, it's actually sad for the sport that Ferrari fans can abuse Massa after Malaysia, shouting non-stop to Stefiano Domilicali to fire him. Oh wait, what happened to that? Raikkonen couldn't deliver, so we forget about it. Typical.



All throughout the year, all you heard Lewis do was whinge and moan about how he is hard done by he was, and how the FIA and the stewards and the media were trying to take him down

Yeah. I want to see a completely referenced quote from an official source which says, right out of Lewis Hamilton's mouth "The FIA are against me." Come on, give it your best shot.


But the personality's are getting too much.

Did Niki Lauda say earlier this week that Formula One needs more personality from its drivers? Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso are great examples of the shining-personality. Possibly the two most talkative drivers on the grid.

For a working class man to pay for his son to live his dream from an early age, i feel that people like him deserve recognition. He loves his son and his son loves him, i feel no need to disrespect him for that. Nelson Piquet (Snr) was banned from the paddock mid-season. I wonder, if Nelsinho had done as well as Lewis had in 2007, would it be so bad? You never know, somebody like Sutil's father may be in the Force India garage every week, giving more attention to his son than Anthony. As Sutil hasn't stood out of the crowd, you wouldn't know. The surprise of Lewis Hamilton has given him and his family massive publicity; it's only normal for the media to stay near them. Sure, he may 'milk' it, but he's living his life. When you've got possibly the most famous face in Motorsport, at the moment, as a son - why would you sit back and be quiet? Your son is famous, your family is enjoying life. Who knows, he may have been told to attract the media to Lewis to interest potential sponsors.

oh come on guys who wants to read a short story

Cooking up a storm. Generally you just skim through the long-LONG posts. But, if you're interested, you can go through it in detail.

Any driver trying to brake at the 50m board on cold brakes at T1L1
is "stupid" as of now.

And here we have is what I call "Hamilton syndrome"

Someone who has a VERY select memory and seems to forget how well Massa did at Interlagos in conditions everyone thought would hand the crown over to sir ayrton jnr, but Massa once again proved all critics wrong and he demolished the field.

Being a ferrari fan, I was disappointed he dropped it in malaysia but not ONCE did I say he should be sacked. The media (IF your selective memory is working) also jumped on Kimi's back after all his poor qualifying performances in the mid season, but oh no, of course you don't remember that, you have "Hamilton Syndrome"!



Yeah. I want to see a completely referenced quote from an official source which says, right out of Lewis Hamilton's mouth "The FIA are against me." Come on, give it your best shot.

It may not have been in PRINTED media but after Malaysia, Canada, France and Spa in particular almost every pre race/quali interview with Hamilton on ITV was about the penalties he recieved etc.



Did Niki Lauda say earlier this week that Formula One needs more personality from its drivers? Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso are great examples of the shining-personality. Possibly the two most talkative drivers on the grid.

Each driver has different ways going about things, but neither Fernando, Kimi or even Massa go about boasting how good they are like the second coming does. I would much prefer my favourite drivers to barely talk than to go around making an ass of himself.


Who knows, he may have been told to attract the media to Lewis to interest potential sponsors.

One of the dumbest things I have ever read, Hamilton is AFAIK the UK's highest payed athlete why would he need more sponsors?

I dragged myself away from posting here but I am just sick of all the Anti-Ferrari/Felipe crowd bashing us to death, I don't gloat that Ferrari won 5 straight drivers and 6 straight constructors championships or that Hamilton lost the 2007 title because of his retarded decision making in China and Interlagos. But it seems whenever a Macca fan can, they slip in a punch under the belt or go about blaming the FIA or Ferrari (most often both) that they didn't win just GTF over it and move on.



....... And yea chris, ford are a helluva lot better than holden, just look at the last 3 bathursts and it's all you need to know ;)

I didn't forget that, i simply ignored it :P. I respect Felipe for how he drove in Brazil, but that doesn't mean that the one performance makes up for some lackluster performances during the season.



Being a ferrari fan, I was disappointed he dropped it in malaysia but not ONCE did I say he should be sacked.

I remember A LOT of fans saying it. Maybe not you, but i read MANY, MANY comments after that race from Ferrari fans, disowning him from the team.

But that's like saying that Raikkonen didn't deliberately let Felipe past in China. He'll never admit it (or at least, not whilst he's in the sport) and we will never be sure if he deliberately did it... or he conveniently started losing 7 tenths a lap to Felipe.

Who said that he - and every other F1 driver - isn't greedy. Let's not forget that Massa did in fact say that driver pay-cuts wasn't the answer; that employee firings would be more effective. Money, money, money, money, moneeeey! (Damn The Apprentice!)



....... And yea chris, ford are a helluva lot better than holden, just look at the last 3 bathursts and it's all you need to know ;)

Psh. To be honest, i don't really like either. I can watch the V8s, but i find them to get a bit tedious after 300 odd laps around Bathurst. And besides, you only ever hear of bogans in Holdens or Fords.. Never in Peugeot ;)

....Umm if you watched the race and post race interview he pretty much told everyone he let him through for the championship, or did you choose to ignore that too?

[T.Hussey]

He never put the words "i deliberately let him through" to the media, though. He hinted and made it even more obvious to those who watched, but as far as i remember, there was no complete admit to letting him past.



Somebody going to slap Drew for starting this post?

It was going to happen anyway, you would be pretty dam stupid if you thought Kimi would finish in front of Felipe at China, the same would of happened at McLaren and as Kimi was out of the title hunt I don't see why any thing is wrong with him letting Felipe through as it was nothing like Austria '02

[Heath]

it was nothing like Austria '02

Oh dont remind me!!

I was apart of an F1 tipping comp with a few mates back in school days and i was the only one who picked Barrichello 1st Schumacher 2nd ... Ended up costing me about $100.

:frusty:

lol Ra.....:crutch:

Ferarri fan here but can see the humour in it even though I was upset at the result at the time.

I don't know what to laugh at more...Ra's comment or the Ferarri mechanic now...lol

[f15active]

mail this back to last year when somebody might've cared

Once again you guys must have missed this memo back on the second page.

What I will say though is "8 su 10". That is all.

I had half expected this post to have been closed by now. I mean, we did kind of go off the subject on page 2.
