Agreed Povol.
.... off Slarty, if you want a lesson on who's a cheating .... then look no further than Hamilton! You ....... fan boys have so much .... over your eyes from wanking off every time you see Hamilton to open your eyes and realise not everyone else cheats, he got beaten fair and square.

Im just waiting on the whining little .......... to play the race card AGAIN. What a ........., he had the entire race with numerous restarts to prove his superiority but failed. I kept thinking Rosberg was going to get ...... on the pit exchange but the caution saved him from the team playing shenanigans. You want to talk cheating, look no farther than Mercedes illegal tire testing last year, which by the way included Hamilton. Maybe its just Germans in general who cheat.
Yeah I know a guy who's kid raced against him. The little ...... and his dad were always pulling the race card.

The clear fact that Lewis Hamilton was totally deserving of his penalties apparently carried no weight with the McLaren driver. It seems also that the 2008 Formula One World Driving Champion feels no remorse over having ended a rather good race for Ferrari's Filipe Massa and Williams driver Pastor Maldonado.
“It's a absolute frickin' joke!” Hamilton bellowed when he stormed up to see the stewards, one of whom was British sportscar driver Allan McNish. When asked why Lewis believed the panel of four was victimizing him, Hamilton barked, “Maybe it's because I'm black.”

Or you could try this alternative reading of the same scenario, from this link
Bsnell, why so keen to jump on me over this? I was asking a sensible, civilised question, not calling anyone a liar. I was not doubting your insider knowledge, just asking for examples I might have seen as an F1 armchair enthusiast.
I'm sure, like all racers, Hamilton is not easy to like - most are arrogant feckers, but I do like to see the data when people make broad brush statements, such as "waiting for him to play the race card AGAIN". Your real is not necessarily mine, no disrespect, no argument.

That was a weak attempt of covering his ... after the .... hit the fan
Later, as McLaren set about trying to control the damage he caused, Lewis returned to the stewards to attempt to make amends.
“I've been to the stewards to make peace,” Hamilton announced. “What I said was a bit of a joke, which wasn't funny at the time. I made them aware that when emotions are high, and it's very intense at the end of those kind of races, you don't always say the right thing, and the joke didn't come at the most appropriate time.
It always depends on how you interpret it, but no amount of word bending changes what he said, he said (jokingly or not) that the stewards were picking on him because he was black. Thats him using the race card, whatever way you cut it. He was making out that he wasn't being summoned to the stewards for the fact that he drove like an arrogant prick and crashed into 2 other cars during that race, no it was merely because he was black. Well thats BS.
At the end of the day, it works to his advantage too. How many times has he used being the 'first black x' to promote himself? You can't use skin colour for you, then claim racism when you percieve (wrongly) it to be being used against you. Thats all I'm sayin'

I think he made the point at the stewards meeting and they accepted it, hence no fine etc. IMHO, the Massa incidents were far too many to be co-incidence and IMHO it wasn't Hamilton in the wrong the majority of times, but that in itself is conjecture and opinion.
If you look at the incidents as not being Hamilton's fault, the whole racism thing falls on its .... If, however, you see those incidents as being Hamilton's fault, then I can see how the whole thing would escalate. IMHO it all hinges on whether you thought Massa or Hamilton at fault. A bit like the McLaren year with Alonso - down to which driver you prefer if not viewed with total objectivism, and who is seriously capable of that?
True, its always likely you'll favour your preferred driver and while I agree to an extent about the Massa insidents, there were an awful lot that were Hamiltons own doing.

With the massive political correctness these days (I have no idea how to correctly describe Hamilton - is it "black", is it "coloured" is it "ethinc", is it "Afro-Caribbean" or are these now "insults"? - ffs this is out of hand) how is he to deal with the same PC bollox?
Does he try to make a joke of it? I genuinely believe he tried to, a la Ali G, rather than ....... up and being "dressed down" by the team etc. as you claim - BTW, there is no info out there that substantiated your POV that I can find.
Or should he not mention anything that might make people feel he is "pulling the race card" because it's not PC?
If you really feel the latter is true then your "PC attitude" is causing a fellow human being to have to modify his speech and thought processes because he is black - you see how ...... up this .... has become???*
I wish that all the PC crowd (in whatever walk of life) could be put against a f-ing wall and shot. So there - childish or not, you can stuff that in you PC hat and smoke it!!
