Hamilton Criticism
by Villenueve
He's being critical of the way Hamilton is too aggressive at the starts of the race? Criticised for being too like Schumacher FFS??
Sorry but the sport needs drivers like this with a bit of passion, and some good old fashioned race sense. What is he to do, let the experienced drivers through or drive all namby?

Re: Hamilton Criticism
Mr Villenueve (one hit wonder) always have something to say about other drivers.
If H is driving like MS then good for him, maybe he will get more than one World title behind his name.

Re: Hamilton Criticism
Villenueve only won because he was in the best car at the time. Skill-wise he was never as good as Hill or Schumy or Hakkenin. Sour grapes if you ask me. Other drivers say you need that extra bit of aggression to win.

Re: Hamilton Criticism
The opnly thing you can criticise about Hamilton is all the BS publicity that surrounds him and him not allowed to be interviewed pre race or unchaperoned.

Re: Hamilton Criticism
Surely if he was too aggressive, then he wouldn't have finished all his races?

Re: Hamilton Criticism
He definitely swerved a couple of times at the start of the Bahrain GP - Martin Brundle picked up on it in the commentary, and it was mentioned on here in the main F1 2007 thread.
Chrispy seemed to think that it was borderline acceptable, but he got away with it because he's the golden boy at the moment.
But given the outcry when Hamilton wasn't really cheated out of a win at Monaco, I wouldn't fancy being the steward who black-flagged him!

Re: Hamilton Criticism
JV was explosive from the word go. You always expect indy drivers to struggle in their first year in f1 but he was right on the pace. He was aggressive and survived MSs shenanigans + one world title. But that is just a distant memory now and he is/hasbeen bitter about the rest of his career and it's not a secret. I hope that he makes peace with it and i also hope that button doesn't suffer the same faith at that burial ground named Honda.

Sad if he does as he is good. Shame he never got a chance in a really good car.

Re: Hamilton Criticism
In any sport it's true to say that he or she who wants to win the most will win, it's that will to win that drives them to excel above all others.

Re: Hamilton Criticism
Does anyone know who the guy was that M.Brundle interviewed before the race, he was some hip hop record maker claiming to be a publicist for Hamilton. Came across with all the wrong vibes to me. I'm told that in USA they are making a big deal about LH being black, good and bad according to who you are listening to

Re: Hamilton Criticism
He was with Farrel, part of the Justin Timberlake clan. Does some class videos such as "work it" in the Playboy mansion and Lapdance
Probably not a good influence on young Lewis  but I guess dad will keep him grounded!
