&lt;p&gt;I for one, do! the guy is unbelievable, and not in a good way.&amp;nbsp;Ever since he came into F1 he's been bigging himself up, and his dads' are unbearable, that is: surrogate dad dennis, and the real one.

I honestly believe any talented driver;Kubica, Kovalainen, Rosberg would have been able to achieve what he did last year had they been driving the same car. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He even had time to refer to the slower teams as "the monkey's at the back."&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He accused&amp;nbsp;Alonso of trying to run him of the road at Spa, just because someone dared to challenge him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He&amp;nbsp;ignored team orders in Hungary, yet Alonso was punished.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He drove dangerously behind the safety car, but did anything happen?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He held up Riakkonen at Interlagos but got away with it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*I am sure he used an extra set of tyres once, but it was all laughed off as inexperience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*He was driving a ferrari all season, masquerading as a Mclaren, then claimed he knew nothing about it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now that Kovalainen has joined Mclaren, he is looking better than Hamilton, yet ITV still hail him as some god like entity. I am an F1 fan before i follow any particular driver, but i hope Alonso joins ferrari next year. The combination of Raikkonen and Alonso should prevent Shamilton from winning anything for a good few years, and that can only be a good thing. I actually dont think he will win this year and i wouldnt be surprised if Kovalainen finishes higher. Lewis is a child, and the more he is indulged by ITV and Ron Dennis, the less he will learn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yours points on Hamilton are silly and childish. If Hamiltons deserves to win the title, then&amp;nbsp;he deserves to win because presumably he has won it by being consistent and winning races? At the moment he doesnt, at this moment oddly enough &lt;b&gt;only Alonso does&lt;/b&gt;, everyone else has messed up big time this season.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I think Hamilton, McLaren and supporters need to take a step back and realise a phrase called delayed gratification, havng something too soon is sometimes not good, sometimes we have to wait and work hard for it and i think Hamilton needs a dose of delay gratification when it comes to F1, I think&amp;nbsp;a few more&amp;nbsp;mess ups would do the boy good, right now he thinks he is the come back kid and metally I do not think that is right, he has to learn about digging deep, concentrating and F1 in general isnt that easy. I want Hamilton to know he has to fight for the title not lose it, because it all became too easy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I find it rather disturbing in the first place that this post name can produce such a response, the negativity of those same sad posters and the amount of energy they have put into knocking Lewis would have solved the Global Energy Crisis!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Whilst it is great to be able to discuss issues and also have fun doing so, it becomes really quite monotonous when you find the same tired old rhetoric from the same tired old posters looking for posts that give them the opportunity, (and some that do not!) to get out the ‘I hate Lewis but don't know why pamphlet' and have another go!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;We all know your views, and I, and probably most others are ready to move on from this ridiculous type of posting.&amp;nbsp; NUFF SAID!!!&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Does anyone hope LH never wins a title!??</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/786011.aspx</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Nov 2008 14:37:27 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:786011</guid><dc:creator>anametoremember</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/786011.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=101&amp;PostID=786011</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;anametoremember:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;lukef212004:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

&lt;P&gt;I agree with you there, and it ruined alonso's reputation in the process. Lewis needs a reality check before its too late.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Alonso did that himself by assuming no 1 status in an equal team and he did not play like a team player. McLaren can get Kovalinen and Hamilton to work together but Alosno was rattled that a rookie and his team mate was doing better than him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Hamilton didn't exactly play like a "team player" either, or have you forgotten the disobeying team strategy bit, the running to the FIA bit, and the snidey remarks he directed towards Alonso bit ?.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Heres something for you to consider, he was annoyed because Alonso wanted No1 in the team, fast forward to the beginning of this season, what was Hamilton announcing to the world ? He was telling us all how nice it was to have Heikki in the team, but what a big responibility it is for him (Hamilton) to be the "Team Leader".&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If that's not hypocricy I dont know what is.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;One day all will become clear, I just hope it happens sooner rather than later.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I agree with you there, and it ruined alonso's reputation in the process. Lewis needs a reality check before its too late.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alonso did that himself by assuming no 1 status in an equal team and he did not play like a team player. McLaren can get Kovalinen and Hamilton to work together but Alosno was rattled that a rookie and his team mate was doing better than him.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Does anyone hope LH never wins a title!??</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709787.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:39:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:709787</guid><dc:creator>mr mccrack</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709787.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=101&amp;PostID=709787</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;lukef212004:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; 
&lt;P&gt;I for one, do! the guy is unbelievable, and not in a good way.&amp;nbsp;Ever since he came into F1 he's been bigging himself up, and his dads' are unbearable, that is: surrogate dad dennis, and the real one. He forgets that not many rookies have the oppurtunity to drive the best car with the reigning champion set-up. I honestly believe any talented driver;Kubica, Kovalainen, Rosberg would have been able to achieve what he did last year had they been driving the same car. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He even had time to refer to the slower teams as "the monkey's at the back."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He accused&amp;nbsp;Alonso of trying to run him of the road at Spa, just because someone dared to challenge him.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He&amp;nbsp;ignored team orders in Hungary, yet Alonso was punished.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He drove dangerously behind the safety car, but did anything happen?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He held up Riakkonen at Interlagos but got away with it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*I am sure he used an extra set of tyres once, but it was all laughed off as inexperience.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;*He was driving a ferrari all season, masquerading as a Mclaren, then claimed he knew nothing about it.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;Now that Kovalainen has joined Mclaren, he is looking better than Hamilton, yet ITV still hail him as some god like entity. I am an F1 fan before i follow any particular driver, but i hope Alonso joins ferrari next year. The combination of Raikkonen and Alonso should prevent Shamilton from winning anything for a good few years, and that can only be a good thing. I actually dont think he will win this year and i wouldnt be surprised if Kovalainen finishes higher. Lewis is a child, and the more he is indulged by ITV and Ron Dennis, the less he will learn.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I hope he never wins it.&amp;nbsp; He doesn't nor will he ever deserve Fernando's crown.&amp;nbsp; I personally would like to see McLaren fall back the field with a string of hopeless cars.&amp;nbsp; In such an event I can see Mr Hamilton ditching the team in a heartbeat.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It's easy to be loyal when the team give you a championship winning car.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Does anyone hope LH never wins a title!??</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709773.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:12:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:709773</guid><dc:creator>amyyy89</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709773.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=101&amp;PostID=709773</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;stigga:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;champalonso:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;stigga:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;amyyy89:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I agree with that post too, but we shouldn't forget that Hamilton is 23 or so years old, he's not some star struck 16 year old suddenly thrust into the limelight, he has a measure of control over whether he believes all the hype, and access to all the media savvy people that McLaren employ. &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I'm not saying he's played no part in all the hype, but it does appear to be part of his makeup to be boastful.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As for the media knocking him down, as I've said elsewhere, he doesn't need to make it easy for the media to accomplish that.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;You're probably right Stigga.&amp;nbsp; I was trying desperately to find a redeeming feature in Lewis and it is very difficult.&amp;nbsp; Sometimes I think "come on he can't be that bad, he's just a young guy" but I get so negative about him and it worries me a bit.&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/emoticons/emotion-42.gif" alt="Confused" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And I think that's the crux of the matter Champ, as soon as people start thinking "he cant be that bad", something happens and he just confirms that he can be that bad, even some of his own fans are now being critical of him.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;ha thats funny, cos i myself was thinking.. maybe ive been a bit hard on lewis the other day after his brilliant qualifying. but now i can't stand him more than ever.&lt;/P&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Does anyone hope LH never wins a title!??</title><link>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709770.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jun 2008 17:09:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">b561de92-0a29-4f6c-9725-81efcf327865:709770</guid><dc:creator>stigga</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.itv.com/thread/709770.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.itv.com/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=101&amp;PostID=709770</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;champalonso:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;stigga:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forums.itv.com/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;amyyy89:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
