The Naysayers are All Wrong - - Lewis Hamilton is 100% Authentic

Don't shoot me down, but after reading so much about this beiber thing, did they actually come out as a couple? I didn't know beiber was gay, obvs Elton gave us a lot of clues so I was pretty convinced at some point it would turn out that Nicole was a beard

 

Instagram

F1 30k likes
Alonso 30k likes
Ferrari 20k likes
Nico 20k likes
Lewis 90k likes

 

Likes? I think you're confused lol. That's for posts. Here are there number of followers:

F1 1.2 million
Alonso 562k
Ferrari 668k
Nico 604k
Lewis 2.8 million

In other words about as much as them all combined

 

And Kim Kardashian has 72 million. Doesn't make her and her enormous inflated ass the standard of measurement, does it?

Part of the reason Elton has the amount of followers he does is because the likes of Kardashians, Kanye's, Biebers and all he hangs out with. Just about any black actor/musician who has the means to go to Cannes every year or hangs out in Hollywood when Elton is there mention him in the instagram/twitter machine, which automatically translates to more followers.

I specifically mention them; most of them have a huge twitter following and they follow Ham for two things; he's black and embraces the black culture. Go to Africa (lived there long enough in several countries and been to plenty countries in there) and each and every person there that catches a hint of anything F1 related, all tell you that Hamilton is the man. They haven't a clue who anyone else is.

Same goes for celebrities that go to Cannes, of course. Elton is probably the only F1 driver that goes out there and hangs out with all the other celebrities (famous for being famous or otherwise), so automatic support goes to him again. If 4x world champion Vettel walks passed them on the street they haven't a clue who the **** he is. Kimi Raikkonen? ''What is that?'' they'll likely ask.

Elton does a lot to be as famous as he is, and the twitter/insta followers come with the territory.


Doesn't make him any better/more liked than other drivers. It's not a yardstick for likability.

 

Spot on Bas. How many followers does Donald trump have, I'm guessing (as I'm too grown up to Twitter at my age) he has a lot, yet lots of the world don't think all that much of him (but they, and me, also are not in the US and don't see everything he says/stands for, so we know nothing about the political position, so don't take this as a political stance please)

Followers and likes and pokes are in a fake SM world. In the real F1 world and outside of Britain, Elton is as popular as athletes foot in a hot tub

 

Never said it was a yardstick for likability. He's more well known that's all. The khardashians are the scum of the earth but in my view any exposure for f1 is good exposure. He can make a sex tape with Kendall Jenner for all I care - whatever gets the sport more popular is a good thing.

Again one cannot assume that exposure results in popularity but it's a good start

 

+1


Any stats based on twitter/insta hits is going to be a huge flop, IMO.

I cannot see Hamilton's so called popularity in social media being of any benefit to F1 in any way. Beware of mass hysteria !!

Like you say, his "support" here or even on this forum is mostly due to "ethnic" interest, I would think.

 

Errr ... I said likes and I meant likes. Followers is something else again.

 

He's more likely to do one with Bruce I reckon, three way with bieber? Hahahaha....... Kendall Jenner is actually pretty hot, too much wasted on him!

 

Wrong,crap like the Kardashians and Biebers are all f.1 doesn't need....we are trying to watch a sport,not a circus or a vanity fair.

 

LOLOLO, can you imagine a new song by Bieber an Elton..lolo, just the idea bring tears to my eyes..i think it could be the biggest thing ever since David "Assoff" made a clip driving his harley!! LOLOLO..what a bunch of tools!!

 

But on an Instagram an individual photo obtains likes but a page is measured by followers so where did you get all your stats from


I think you're confused

 

Yeah.... I'm the confused one. Just forget it, ok?

No. Bruce Jenner is the confused one.

Best,

Sammy

 

I don't think he's confused at all.

 

According to the media and lefties he's a she, who wants to be a he.

 

Correct... So he's not confused. A person who knows what he wants isn't confused, is he?

 

Keep up with the times - it's she rather than he.

Best,

Sammy

 

Yeah true!

 

Doesn't Elton want to be a she?

 

Do i detect a lil bit of homophobia creeping in here?

 

Oh, that again...So all those not following Hamilton must be homophobic racists...
I bet there are not few people around here who do not give a **** about his skin colour or who he spents his nights with (as long as it is not his dog )...

 

Back to more pressing issues.... "the thread". Love not War

.... so my girl at Gucci calls me and says hey I have a new cardigan for you. I ask is it dark brown with bumble bees on it. She says well yes. I say no thanks. lol.

 

Belloff and Warwick - the younger guys... were HOT property in F1. Belloff - died ... so never got to get to a top team, but in Group C - he was the benchmark.

Warwick - Senna feared him so much that the made Lotus not take him as #2 in 86... they took Dumfries .... sadly Warwick never got a good drive - some his own fault and some luck. but again drove the hell out of the Jaguar in Group C.
