Default What an arrogant little.....

Lewis on Kimi after Spa-
"That's the way he drives, If you don't have the ***** to brake late, that's your problem."

^
He realy does act like he's ten, complete with the personal attacks over him breaking the rules. He has to remember it's the FIA that gave him the penalty not Kimi....

Kimi in Response-
"Maybe that's what he thinks. But I don't mind what other people think. It's down to whether he gained an advantage or not, and it's down to the people who make the decisions."

In a car that was/is vastly superior in the wet.....

Kimi could respond with "if you don't have the brains to understand which way the track goes, thats your problem"...

True enough It just speaks to his character that he resorts to personal attacks on a person that didn't do anything to him, just because things didn't go his way.

Not condoning the way he says but he does have a point about Kimi braking early at that point in the race

To expand on that point, I think it reflects more on his level of maturity than his character. Older, and he would have commented differently had the incident even occurred in the first place. Not taking anything away from his talent, but it's times like this that the recent departure from his teens really shows.

Well actually I just found this, apparently Kubica did-

http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headline...12192107.shtml

Kubica surprised by Hamilton comment

BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica has chided Lewis Hamilton's suggestion that world champion Kimi Raikkonen didn't 'have the *****' to beat him at Spa Francorchamps a week ago.

Ferrari's Raikkonen shrugged off the Briton's comments with his typical cool disregard, but Kubica sounded surprised when he too was informed at Monza about Hamilton's brash words.

"Did he really say that?" Kubica is quoted as saying by Motorsport Aktuell. "I cannot imagine that."

"We drivers should have a fundamental respect for each other," he concluded.

Put up or shut up. He puts up the other guy should shut up and work on not hitting walls. The FIA call was bull**** and we all know it. This is grown up racing not knitting.

Kimi got smoked in the rain. what is with the "he had a bad setup" junk? Where is "it was the setup" when Kimi was leading for so many laps? Kimi got outdriven in the rain.

If I won a hard fought race that was as exciting as this one was I would be a bit pissed when some clerks in some office that stinks of cheese took it from me.

Sit for a moment in Lewis' shoes. Would you be happy with the way the ruling turned out?

Fock no. I'd be pissed beyond comprehension. And...I'd be ready to throw down at Monza.

If I were in Hamilton's shoes & had just been penalized--rightly or wrongly--by the maFIA, I would sit the **** down and shut the **** up.

What are you smoking? The 'other guy' is pretty much shutting up. Its Hamilton who likes to run his mouth...
