no one likes him cause he english but it all good cause i believe the rest of the world need to realize that Britain save the rest of the world

I like Lewis a lot, and I'm from a country that hates deeply the UK due to the Falklands War. I don't care too much for it, it was before I was born either way. I don't think that people hate Lewis because he's English, they don't like him because of his attitude. Even I, a great fan of him, think that he needs to shut up a bit and focus on driving

Do Argentines have any animosity toward Brazilians? because if so prehaps your liking of Lewis is just because the other option is Massa?

 

Yes, they do, and a lot. But that's not the reason, I've been a fan of McLaren and hated Ferrari since I saw my first F1 race in 1998.

 

FTW!

Have I added you as a friend yet? Seems not.

I was watching F1 before 1998 and my dislike of Ferrari doing well comes mostly from Shumacher as I used to watch when he raced for Benetton against Damon Hill with Williams (Berger and Alesi were Ferrari drivers I believe). I never really watched it religiously but I see a few races each year and don't like to see Ferrari up front all the time, in fact part of the reason I don't watch more was Shumacher winning so many races.

I have F1WGP2 for the N64, and usually play as Hakkinen or Coulthard. (unfortunately I have no other F1 games as Sony secured the liscensing, I am hopeful another quality F1 game will come Nintendo's way sometimes)

 

First, thanks for the add.

My dislike of Ferrari comes mostly for two things, my hate of the colour red, and that in '99 they were penalized (but then acquitted) for having irregular cars, so I thought they were cheaters (I was just a kid), and it stuck with me.

An my love of McLaren comes probably from the fact that Hakkinen was driving for them, he's still my favourite driver ever, I've always admired him, plus he did the best overtaking I've ever seen (Spa 2000 against Schumacher)

 

 

Hehee, i take you mean this one:

Yep, gotta agree with that Schumi and Ferrari always winning F1 started to lose it viewers, myself included.

But as always, Schumi is great driver nevertheless (like Hamilton might be), but even great driver can't win without great car.

Nevertheless Häkkinen, still won his championship, with inferior and tending to broke car, against Irvine in 1999

Much like Alonso won his championship "easily" with Kimi strugling with broken Mclaren in season 2005.

And same could be said about 2006 when Mclaren went downhill.

 

"An my love of McLaren..."

My love with (Hamilton and) Mclaren ended last year when this spying incident came out.

At least Alonso was man enough and did the right thing. Hamilton just wanted to use any means possible to win in last season.

 

Sorry about the rant. :p
