a pretty solid photochop I think...... look at the arms

and I have had my doubts to, especially the whole "qualifying on pole is better than sex"......this story sort of dispells that, seems as if he has not just 1 but 3 gf's

STFU and drive asswipe. Win something and then talk to me. Man do I miss the days of MS.
My feelings exactly,

How many times already?...

-it's not my fault
-my confidence is not affected,
-I'm is sorry I caused someone somewhere some grief for my ****up (but it's not my fault)
-Suck it up I'm Hamilton

Good lord... "how can you see a redlight at the end of pitlane?"

IF conditional, because Hamilton has little/no fault, it's the redlight that destroyed Kimi's car, or his team, or some steward, or whatever...

You may be on to something here...

F1 drivers do not use the same stock/off the shelf HANS device as us mere mortals.

Correct. All the F1 teams actually manufacture their own HANS-type devices, custom for each driver, under licenses with Hubbard Downing (HANS' maker), I believe.

Default Hamilton says he can still win in France

By Pablo Elizalde Wednesday, June 11th 2008, 15:49 GMT

Briton Lewis Hamilton believes he can still win the French Grand Prix despite the penalty he was given in Canada.

The McLaren driver will lose ten grid positions at the Magny-Cours race after crashing into the back of Kimi Raikkonen when he failed to see the red light at the end of the pitlane in time.

Although that means Hamilton will start from at least 11th place in France, he is still confident he can finish on top.

"I feel quite confident that we can still win there. That's my job," Hamilton was quoted as saying by Reuters.

"I've got to have that belief in myself and the team. I still feel we can finish in the top three but it's going to be a real challenge."

Hamilton also dismissed suggestions that the Montreal incident was a career low.

"It was nowhere near one of my lowest points. I don't even particularly feel it was a low point. It was one of those things you just have to come to terms with and move on. In the race I was on top of my game," he said.

The Briton lost the championship lead to BMW Sauber's Robert Kubica in Canada and is now four points behind the Pole.

He added: "I believe it is going to be very difficult to win but I don't plan on it going to the last race. We will push as hard as we can to do the job, it doesn't matter if it is early or the last race. So long as we get it done."

I dont think its photoshopped, more likely just the angle of the photo. Notice LH's boyfriends hand is much closer to the camera than his.

I can't believe Hammy and RD thinks that a 10 grid penalty is harsh. They essentially cost KR 10 points. That's what Hammy should've gotten. A 10 point penalty. He's a ******.

so what do you think the Ferrari HANS engineers know that the engineers for the mass production model don't know? Maybe it's a design specific to the needs of an F1 application?
