jimdiesel Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Prehaps this is the real reason Lewis has splashed out 20 mill on a new jet. So he can be home in time for dinner on a Sunday, when his car expires after 5 laps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Is it Hamilton you don't like, or McLaren (the latter being because they wouldn't extend you 0% over 50 years on an MP4-C probably)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I don't dislike Hamilton - I just think he's turned into an arrogant prick and going to Mercedes was like pissing on your father when he's spent most of his life bringing you up and looking after you. Merc probably offered him more money, which, to me, shows he's shallow and is chasing some possible future glory against two existing teams in McLaren and Ferrari who have the best winning records of any of the teams. It'll be interesting to see how quickly he gets pissed off if things don't go all his way this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Alternatively, the family relationship at McLaren had become strained to breaking point due to the team's repeated f*ck ups, boy wonder reluctantly decides his chances of silverware are better elsewhere and likes the look of the Mercedes project, especially for 2014 onwards.

Tipex Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I just think he's turned into an arrogant prick and going to Mercedes was like pissing on your father when he's spent most of his life bringing you up and looking after you. He actually did that as well, not literally of course, it's been since he sacked his father and went to the celeb management agency that his attitude, and his driving, have gone downhill.

Andrew Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I heard two stories about Mr. Hamilton recently from some people serving him. 1. A kid runs up, racing cap on, eager to say hello in a bar. Lewis' dad leaps up, stops the child saying "don't talk to my son" - all the while LH was on his phone texting and didn't look up once. 2. Asked to sign a book for a charity raffle at a well used hotel post dinner by the owner of this hotel, he stating "there isn't anything in it for me". Sounds like a grade A ar5e to me.

Andrew Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've no axe to grind with Hamilton, if I'm honest I think F1 is a bit sh1t and don't really follow it but those were the stories I heard from a person who had witnessed them.

He won't be there as he's not a McLaren driver any more. I can understand you missed his move to Mercedes as it wasn't well publicised.

If Luke wants child-hating, non-charitable Hamilton to get his flowers, I'll get them there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
