Sorry but i don't understand why you reference soldiers in Afghanistan?

LH is not my hero as i don't believe in them. Put simply i enjoy seeing a British guy doing well (and he is). He made a stupid mistake and that's a shame, hopefully he will mature with age and stop being quite so cocky. I guess i just can't get worked up over any sport, i certainly don't lose any sleep over it.

His reaction to HIS error, and what I felt was an arrogant and unsporting response was not in keeping with what I expect from a British sportsman.

Perhaps I'm too old fashioned but these things mean a lot to me and I for one want to keep the 'sporting' in motorsport.

Funny this but if you replace the words 'Lewis' and 'British' with 'Michael' and 'German'.......................

I totally agree about John Surtees though, what an absolute disgrace.

Re: F1 2008
Funny. Sorry but driving a car around a track seventy times is not the same thing as being a soldier. Its a pointless reference. I could argue the point but i think it would be waste of time.
