To be honest I don't know why anyone is getting so up themselves about this.

Find a mirror. Look in it.

Hamilton was the second coming, and he pretty much lived up to it.

Second coming?!?!? Please. :roll:

I don't have a pic of you in my mirror, sorry. Just Lewis.

Can you let me know what other drivers entered the sport in such a manner, winning their second season at such a young age?
 
Well Emerson Fittipaldi is the classic example, winning the title in his second full year at the age of 25 after having to step up as team leader when Rindt got killed. Not quite as young as Lewis was, but not far off

Jacques Villeneuve?

As in what other drivers were handed a seat with a top tier team in a car capable of winning on a silver platter, all orchestrated by a team manager that financed them? None that I can think of.

Even Senna had to tough it out with Toleman his first season. Shumi brought Benetton from backmarker to Constructor's Champion...........

Well you seem just as committed?

His situation is totally different from Button's, for example.

Both his upbringing and his racing life.

Button was touted as a prospect for the future when he entered F1, Hamilton was the second coming, and he pretty much lived up to it.

Journeyman versus mercurial genius, if you like.
I think journeyman is rather harsh for Button - and I'm far from his biggest fan.

On pure driving talent / ability alone, I'd rate Hamilton higher, but Button has done enough, IMO, to elevate him above journeyman.

It was a leading question, and he answered with humour instead of just walking off.
Leading question? Of course it was a leading question - what was to be expected in that situation, when being questioned by a journalist.

The problem is, he didn't handle it in a calm or jovial fashion, he was clearly steamed up, and he wore his heart on his sleeve.

Now that is far from being unexpected for a guy in his position - but then that's really true - it's far from being unexpected.

Now true enough, some like and prefer that. Me, well I'm not sure - it's one thing to display emotion, and a bit of passion - it's another to have lost your cool.

At the end of the day, he had a bad weekend - some of it not of his making, some of it partly of his making, and some of it entirely of his making. What he didn't do - and rarely does, is simply hold his hand up and say - "Messed up there..." a la Webber. Even if he didn't want to take his own blame when it was due, then he shouldn't try and stick the knife in either his team, other drivers who'd done no more wrong than him - perhaps less - and the stewards, who it would very much appear, have treated him no differently than any other driver.

It makes an enormous difference whether he was being serious or not.
Well you see light-hearted, jokey - I see lost-his-cool-and-put-his-foot-in-his-mouth, then deftly played the joke card when he'd quickly realised the implications of making serious implications about FIA officials.

All power to the lad, he is one of the few drivers who could match the careers of the likes of Schumacher and Senna. He is unfortunate to be driving in an era when external control has entered the equation, both physically in the cars and generally in the media and hype.
I'd agree with some of that - he certainly has pure talent.

Whether he's got the absolute talent of Senna, or the talent and savvy combination of Schumacher - well time will tell.

He needs to think more, though - and I'm not just talking about his stupid outburst(s) at Monaco.

Nail. On. Head. 8)
 
I do understand his frustration

However .. When asked why he kept being asked to the stewards. He could have said.. They like me or because I drive for mclaren. or because I am young .... He didn't because the first thing out if his mouth was what he was feeling.. and that was because he felt they were racist.. He deserves a financial penalty for the inference and blatant racist remark

With the childlike and everyone elses fault attitude I foresee him being a Ferrari driver one day
 
I think you are all jealous and it's just sour grapes .... :?
