    But he felt great being booed... I wonder why the Brits cheer for him when booing makes him so strong
    Best fans ever... #blessed

    I certainly don't think anyone here in the Aus section will miss him, however I think you under estimate his popularity elsewhere.

    Why is it that everybody here dislikes him so much, is it because he's so weirdly different with his clothes, or he is just different & doesn't fit the mould of a regular perceived F1 driver, is it a tall poppy thing, is it a racist thing, everyone seems to criticise his drawing attention to racism, frankly I find it a bit sad if people see that as a negative, that he preaches racial equality & inclusiveness or that he uses his profile to draw attention to it & somehow people seem to see that as a wank or insincere on his part, at least he's standing up & doing it, I wonder what people would be like if they placed themselves in the life of a black person... or possibly its just all the above... I guess I shouldn't forget this is the Ferrari forum, not the Mercedes Benz or LH forum :D

    I love F1 & motorsport, I like to read & partake in commentary about F1 here, maybe I'm getting too soft with age, LH is by no means my favourite driver on the grid, it's just sometimes I get sick of the LH bashing by all :)

    Because he's not the person he portrays.

    Last night also displayed his usual poor Sportsmanship, which he hasn't had to display since Rosberg because he's had no competition.

    He's a rat.

    Punts off Max last race and last night forces Max to try to qualify in his dirty air and causes Perez to miss out on a run. 20kph down pity Lane? Oh come on! Clever, but dirty.

    Well this is mostly an opinion based discussion :D & you know him personally of course, to know he's not the person he portrays...

    Qualy, not even Christian or Max complained about that, but of course... :)

    They didn't complain because it was in the rules.... But still a dog act and desperation.

    His hypocrisy is clear. I don't need to know him. Stupid post. Are you as desperate as Lewis now?

    I think the issue with Lewis at least for me is that he's an intensely unlikeable character.

    One can argue his championship success is due to the car, his position within the team and the lack of any real competition over his championship contention period save for Nico, however for me it goes further than this.

    His treatment of the team, his incessant whinging when the cards don't fall his way and his disgraceful conduct towards his team mate when Nico beat him to the championship in 2016 sums up his character.

    Off the track he pretends to have had a really tough time being black growing up in Britain. What he fails to accept, or admit, is that he had a very privileged upbringing. His conduct over the whole BLM episode is hypocritical in the extreme. He doesn't care about blacks any more than he cares about his dog.

    And the whole environment thing? Sells his cars, or at least pretends to, but then flies around the world in a private jet looking like a gangster.

    I am still to work out what all this showmanship has achieved for the greater good, anyone know?

    I started following F1 in 1979 and of all the world champions he to me appears to be the least gracious of the lot of them. I found myself following various teams over the years and would usually hope for a Ferrari win and championship. Now I don't care, I just hope it's anyone but Lewis.

    When he retires I hope the sands of time unceremoniously relegate him to obscurity.

    I don't think so either, but I'm surprised he hasn't claimed he is. He could work that trump card too.

    Hamilton and the BLM program and the removal of statues and symbols of slavery!

    Yet he drives for Mercedes Benz , who during the Second World war used nearly 40,000 Jews -slaves from the camps to support the Nazi war effort .

    So do Jewish lives matter ...Hamilton?
