“It’s motor racing, what can you do?

British sportsmen should uphold fair play and a dignified manner.

hamilton, is too aggressive and too cocky.

His sort don't represent decent British people at all.

true, hes trying to be a winner....what a terrible trait eh?

btw I'm brit and I think its people like you who hold this nation back...

kenchan- yeah, putting others lives at risk and not apying your blooming income tax is a really good trait.

open your eyes to waht he is, a dangerous driver, who used free British education and health service, and when he gets some dosh, buggers off abroad to avoid income tax. And a bloke wiv these morals doesn't hold Britain back?

if you believe the pre-planned "barbed" comments from his rivals (who are no less dangerous if they were as close as Hamilton to the title) then you are definitely the type of person that holds this nation back and probably reads the sun....btw as you might not realise (it seems the case unfortunately) that nearly all F1 drivers "bugger off abroad" (you mean Monaco) after they become even abit successful.....targeting Hamilton alone for such behaviour is just plain ignorance/prejudice. btw none of what you say about him as a person has anything to do with his driving being "dangerous".

If senna was still alive then he would approve of Hamilton....

I think Mr Garnett has a vaild point. Mr Hamilton is a menace on the race track, and his selfish aggressive behaivor could kill!

I also believe he is ungratefull to the nation that nurtured him. He sets a bad example on the track and in his tax avoidance. I agree his sort should not be a role model for Britain.

MrDIckMorris- Thanks for seeing the truth about my messages, unlike the biased Hamilton fan club. Hamilton lets down Britain. He doesn't understand the British way of fair play, his sort never will i suppose.

Someone should learn him some respect to other drivers and his country, the no good swine.

I suppose neither of you read my "NEARLY EVERY F1 DRIVER LIVES IN MONACO!" statement? keep closing your mind to the facts and spout yr prejudiced nonsense (so you two must also dislike the other drivers for tax evasion?)....I suppose you two are probably not obama fans either I guess...

kenchan- Because Hamilton may do what others do does not make it right.

Us British are well known for our fair play and loyalty to our country.

Hamilton is a thug, who's aggressive driving may one day maim or even kill. His lack of respect for other drivers and his refusal to pay his way to the country that brought him up, fills me with disgust.

His type should not be supported by true Brits like me and my father.

never knew this was a forum for BNP members....

us and them, right and wrong, black and white......such arrogance is worse than what hamilton is doing imo.

why has none of you people complained about other british drivers who are avoiding tax like hamilton? why do you only complain at the brit who is doing well? Do you hate Button or David Coulthard also?

as for dangerous driving...do you think the FIA would let him continue driving if it really was going to cause a death on the track? Don't believe the mind games being played by Hamiton's rivals...don't be so naive.

kenchan- i believe the posts are directed at Ha,ilton as he is the subject of the article.

If he drives aggressively, i hope he does not hurt or kill himself or others. Safety first is a policy it seems hamilton lacks.
kenchan at 08:41 AM JST - 19th October

onTherecord> yes they are directing their hatred at Hamilton but have no logical rationale for it...or none that is specific to him.

I wrote a post previosuly, stating my frustration at Hamilton's boom or bust driving style, which I fear will lose him the title again...so its not like I am a huge fan, but these people are just spouting hatred of him as a person and has little to do with his driving...this article does not talk about Hamilton's driving as dangerous to others..they say (rightly imo) that it might casue him to lose the title).

as for "Safety first"....do you truly believe that any of the F1 drivers actually do this? who are you kidding? At this level of driving, the line between glory and failure is too close to be able to think first about safety. No one can win anything with that attitude.

well Hamilton proved us(including me) all wrong with a well drive win...and it was the other ferraris that showed little fairness by letting the slower massa through to 2nd....its this kind of behaviour that the FIA and the useless stewards should punish as it makes a mockery of who is the fastest driver.
