    Yeah, they both traveled 6 miles to school, but Elton rode on Ron Dennis's back. ;)

    Max got there first, because he already had a kart after he learned how to walk. Hamilton had to rely on and old man to walk.

    So enlighten me. Where do cool guys like you and Bas mine YOUR driver info from?
    Don't say FormulaScout. Everything they print reads like the driver/team's PR department wrote it.

    And you know this how?
    Answer carefully...this is the internet and even the most far fetched things can be verified.

    And...
    What information about Kubica was incorrect in his Wiki page?

    I already told you, but seemingly you're incapable of taking the advice and just listen to the Beyond the Grid podcast.



    It's not that the wiki page is incorrect...it's not complete. It doesn't give you the full picture.

    You want a reasonable argument but once it's entertained you throw it all of because it doesn't suit your point of view and don't bother listening.

    Unless you want to be an expert based on wikipedia reading, maybe enlighten yourself a little more?

    IIRC Anthony had a contact at Buckmore kart circuit who knew Dennis and made the introduction

    Well one thing is certain,
    Lewis is a very skilled driver.
    Skins color discussion have no importance in the end.
    He just should stop talking about it when his agenda requires this ..

    Very different from the documentary though that, isn't it? By this point he was already in the sport.

    The argument over the last page was that Lewis had a severe disadvantage getting to the sport at all because of his skin colour...yet here's Lewis' dad himself saying it was an advantage of all things.

    The fact that some small brained spanish fans deciding to racially abuse him after he got to the sport are 2 totally separate things.

    Maybe this portion of the thread discussion should head over to p and r. I would have loved to meet Anthony over his pos son. But they are one and the same.

    I genuinely don't think there's an issue here in discussing this particular issue.

    Anthony Hamilton said in the early documentary that Lewis' race was an issue as he stood out. Nothing wrong with that.

    Then the article linked, Anthony (correctly) announces his feelings on that a group of the tiny brained amongst us who thought dressing up in black face and writing ''Hamiltons family'' on it was sane or acceptable.

    A page or so ago it was claimed that Lewis' race was another hurdle to overcome to get to F1 but Anthony Hamilton directly disputes that.

    Lewis claims he's had racial abuse growing up and I'm sure it's true. But it's nothing to do with motorsport or anything like that. It's kids and young adults that do that. When I was in predominantly white schools. a few of the pea brained in the school would abuse those of a different colour.

    When I lived in the caribbean and was one of the 5 white kids, the same happened to me.

    Conclusion? Kids are cruel basterds, and some people simply don't grow up.

    Goods points. I think the pressure to perform is more immense when you are singled out. I think other drivers were free from certain pressures, making it more adaptable therefore easier to perform.

    That's noting compared to the abuse that french drivers sufered in England back in the early 80s...nowadays Alan Jones would have been sanctioned everytime he opened his mouth....glad it was back then cause he was funny and quite often speaking the truth....

    Did you use wiki for that?

    If you watched the actual season happen, it was damn competitive up front right until the Mercedes driven TD39 directive came through. That neutered Ferrari and RB ran home free and hasn't stopped since.

    If you recall, RB and Ferrari where both dead against it.

    And yes, the other cars where really competitive against each other.

    Whatever was behind TD39, it applied to all the teams without distinction.
    Like for any technical change, some teams do better with it, others not.
