    Any time the car isn't perfect he whines like a toddler. He's asked to park the car when it's not up to snuff. When Nicole dumped him,... he melted down...

    Discuss.

    No, because as the other thread clearly indicates, Vettel is too mentally weak to win. Get with the program Simon.... :rolleyes:

    Is this “mentally weak” week or something?

    Hamilton? Mentally wig, surely!

    I’ve been fairly vocal for the past number of years about my lack of appreciation for LewHam...but...

    He himself has told us that he wasn’t where he needed to be mentally (previous to Spain)...and, he tells us that Spain is exactly what he needed to turn that around. He HAS shown that he can put his head down and get on with business.

    Any Ferrari fan who feels comfortable about the remainder of this season and that Lewis will be crying in his oatmeal instead of trying to win the WDC is kidding themselves and has a very short memory about who was mentally strong and who was not last year. Sure, it is a new season and some things are different...but, some things are still the same, too.

    Yes, which is also a display of mental weakness.

    Both he and Vettel are divas. Divas will have melt downs. They have both crumbled under pressure at times and handled it like true champions in other. Neither is perfect, both are great drivers.

    When people I know talk about a person as much as this forum talks about Hamilton, I tell them to get it over with and **** already. I'm starting to think the same of this site.

    For sure, Grosjean is working hard at becoming the most absurd driver on the grid.

    Or what???

    And accuse of whining??? OMG,... are you serious??? >50% of Hamilton's radio communication is whining.

    If you know how media works you would know the top popular drivers get more trasmits aired on tv. Thats why Kimi has complaints that have become famous, and Vettel many complaints especially the one with Charlie Whiting, are well known. All drivers go back and forth with their team on the radio, probably more so
    than the front runners.

    So you are admitting he does (sometimes) whine on the radio?

    All the drivers do, but why do we call it complaining? Most of the time when i hear Lewis he is just asking the team a question, or has a legitimate concern

    Thanks..this means a lot to me, to be a real hater is a very hard job, at first it was easy when i only had Alonso to concentrate on, but then with elton joining the bandwagon i had to divide myself and things were not that simple anymore, than Lancelote showed up and he joined the gang! And the hard part is that all of them they try to steel the show, it's not easy to cope with all this hate, but i'm doing my best , trying to treat them all fair and square, not favouring any of them!

    Lololo, the thing with Letuce is that he whiped out Alonso at spa 2012, and i'm in debt with him ever since, so i'm cuting him some slack...but i agree, he's pushing he's luck!
