“You have to learn how to find braking points when you are six years old in go-karts. Obviously you should know how it goes at this level”

Yes, that was part of it. And part of it was the namby-pamby director who thought that properly shooting him in the sternum 3 times instead of the toes & knee might hurt his self-esteeem.

Bitter, dumb, and violent is no way to go through life. Nor is constantly playing the race card.

Massa ran a guy over, spun himself out and they penalized the other guy, he didnt several pirouettes at Silverstone as well as other wet races, has crashed on his own in the first turn right into the wall, jumped a curb and hit Lewis in the same race he ran the other guy over. There is plenty more to add to that list as well.
Kimi isnt much better, between accidents and plain not showing up at the race, he's completely laid an egg on the championship that he's had.
I'm sure if we tallied the count, Lewis wouldnt have any more bonehead mistakes than those two (individually), and he had a rookie year involved in that. Considering where he's at in his career, I dont hold him to being flawless, but I certainly dont see where Massa and Kimi have been "better" yet Lewis take a brunt of the bashing.
But I dont feel the need to bash either of the Ferrari guys, besides, the FIA couldnt do any more for them than join their pit crew. The insecure guys that have been trying to find a reason not to like Lewis since he entered F1 will continue to do so, and they will keep running out of things to say as he gets more experience.
"Lewis can only win from pole" <------Anyone remember that one, seems to have died down lately, but the haters have found other things to try and hang on him as they always will. But this too will end.

He's been applauded for his avatars, people that have been here dont need to look, we've seen them all.
But that's not the topic of this thread, I spoke my piece, and confirmation that other people have found it suspect (verbally and in post) is good enough for me.
