Lewis Hamilton American Accent

thegoth

Did anyone else notice Lewis Hamilton's American accent in the post race interviews ?

The more I see and hear of this guy the more I like him !!!!!

COME ON BUTTON

thegoth

Prost to my Senna. AHHHHHHH. It gets worse

Oh no...


Please tell me he didn't really say that.

And I thought my hatred for him had peaked.

I hear ya man. Thought the same, but then I heard his americian accent and now he is comparing himself to Senna and Alonso to Prost.

How did Alonso not just deck him the arrogant little pr*ck

On a side note, its also great to see how loyal he was to his father who put him where he is !!! Firing him. Good man Lewis you plonker

Autosport

Lewis makes the race interesting

Yeah and we all know what happened to Senna...

Anyone know why Lewis fired his father and what the whole story is there?

He is 26 all grown up?, doesn't need his oul lad hanging around all the time. His Father was out of his depth as a F1 drivers manager anyway.

Hamilton is no Senna

Most of the greats wouldn't compare themselves to anyone before them but want their own name to be up there in its own rite. Couldn't see Vettel or Alonso wanting to be someone else.

To be fair, Alonso is far from the humblest person on the grid, Pot meet Mr. Kettle.
I'm a massive Senna fan but he did things that would make any modern driver look a saint, cough*Suzuka*cough, but it was all passion for him I suppose:rolleyes:

It's only a newspaper article, for all we know he said those things jokingly, & could easily have been taken out of context.

What's that old axiom, don't believe everything you read?

You could take any interview from an F1 driver & document it in a way that makes it look like their singing their own praises etc. Just move on, I wouldn't pay The Guardian anymore attention than I would Legard

It's all about the racing.

Father possibly was out of his depth but that doesnt explain the major fallout that happened. Seems they were not talking for ages. Lewis is a d1ckheaad really.

Again, none of us know what hes like in reality, we see him mainly in competitive mode where he has to come across as confident and dare I say it arrogant,
Hell, he's never even allowed on camera without some sort of Vodafone/Mercedes/Santander advertising around, we rarely if ever get to see Lewis as Lewis and not as superstar F1 driver Lewis Hamilton,
Who really knows what hes like,
Again using Senna as an example, most people didn't know of his massive charitable contributions till after his death, and I'm sure more than a few found him to be an arrogant sulky driver always ready to complain (some Prost fans to name a 'few') when he was alive and racing.

That said it is highly irritating listening to the radio comms during races when he's doing badly, ie: 'the cars not right', 'my seats not right', 'the tires aren't good', 'I've got no downforce', etc,etc....

As may be obvious I do like Hammy, but as a driver, its nothing to do with his personality, a good/likable personality is MORE OFTEN THAN NOT a trait NOT possessed by most F1 drivers, give the nice ones success and watch the goodness disappear as the want to remain successful increases.

And as for his dad,no one here seems to know the reasoning behind his sacking but most are happy to believe it was Lewis's fault, maybe it was his dads fault........
