    He complains on the radio instead of crashing/spinning out. A true champion indeed.

    "Meanwhile in spite of all the detractors and armchair critics, Lewis Hamilton has just bagged his 5th WDC, and I guess that Mercedes will also clinch its 5th WCC.
    Talent and efficiency have been justly rewarded."

    This. No matter how much you may hate Hamilton or think you know better he and his team have risen to the occasion once again.

    Absolutely.

    Epic F1 history has been made this year. We have been privileged to witness one of the greatest F1 drivers of all times achieve two ultra rare goals: Most pole positions and fifth championship.

    A true champion grits his teeth and gets more performance from the car than believed possible. That is what Senna (in 1993) and Schumacher (in 1996) did in their days.

    By the way, you can not prove Hamilton is a great driver by pointing out that another driver is not....

    A true champion wins championships. You can move the goalposts all you want and come up with silly "But he hasn't done this" but he's won five titles now. I'm not a huge Hamilton fan, but I can respect the hell out of what he's done this season. He earned it.

    Correct. I was being sarcastic with them.

    A champion is one who wins a championship, therefore Hamilton is a champion.
    A true champion is someone who also shines in adversary conditions. Hamilton does not, he starts whining and blaming others.

    There is always a winner (Champion) in any championship, no matter how poor the competition.

    I think your argument has most steam sometime ago, but you don't see it.

    People who cannot accept the result of a championship because they have an axe to grind against the winner show themselves up as irrational, but cannot take anything from the champion.

    Doesn't that precisely sum you up with regard to Schumacher ?

    What do you call Vettel then who couldn’t win the championship even though the odds were stacked in his favour. Not only is he whiny and unhinged, he is also an incompetent moron. Leclerc is going to wax that behind.......

    I never tried to hide my dislike of Schumacher by making disparaging comments about his abilities, his look, his mood or fashion sense.

    I took exception to his ruthless methods on the track where he regularly bullied opponents, try to shun them off the track or barged right into them.

    His antics are well documented, such as the way he rammed Damon Hill to win his 1st title, or how he repeated that trick with Villeneve later.

    There were also episodes where, at full speed, he pushed another competitor against the wall; at least once against his own brother, another time againt Barichello, etc ....

    Schumacher was the only driver I know, who was disqualified from a whole championship and had all his points taken away. That says a lot !!!

    So, no comparison with Hamilton whatsoever.

    Schumacher was a successful driver who tarnished his image by being a thug on the track. No a great driver in my book; in that, I put him in the same category as Senna, whom I didn't like either.

    Now that changes everything... others are called haters because they question a driver but you are OK because you never tried to hide that you simply can´t stand either Schumacher nore Senna....:rolleyes:
    And your love for sportsmanship was very well proven when you said Schumachers current state is a question of karma...

    Yeah, he’s a four time champion. Mercedes cheated their way through, and ferrari helped them by falling apart. That doesn’t make Elton great, it makes him a lucky prick

    Oh, rest assured haters are easy to spot. Calling drivers names to try and disparage them can only come from a place of hate. Calling out drivers like Schumacher for cheating on track and his illegal cars is not hate but simply stating a reason why one wouldn’t consider such a driver the best ever.

    Once again, the usual ******** and bollocks of someone that clearly hates on Senna and Schumacher, yet supposedly abhors the same when directed at Elton. Hypocritical rubbish

    Lol Ferrari can only wish they had his kind of luck. I see Vettel’s ineptitude has done quite a number on the hapless Tifosi. Nightmarish period this must be.
