  1. I wouldn't call it a talent but I once while walking home from school nearly choked on a 10 pieces of Hubba Bubba cotton candy gum I'd eaten all at once, managed to hack it up, and as it fell out of my mouth I instinctively kicked it before it hit the ground, and it stuck to a stop sign 10 metres away. That's the best thing I've ever done.

    Anyway, I'd be concerned If I was a Hamilton fan, you know, losing out right now in the championship. 

    This is getting so boring AMS, I know you said that just to get a reaction out of me.

    I'll make you an offer for the sake of the forum and our sake: Can we please stop with the digging before, during and after races? I'm tired of it. It leads to nowhere, people who come here to see what's going on have to read through the same crap over and over again and neither you or me feel good about this whole BS. Or so I assume.

    Constructive criticism is ok and I will continue to say Vettel's not doing the job he is expected to do if he doesn't (as I'm sure you will once that's the case with Lewis) but blaming a driver for his brakes failing or playing the payback-card everytime, even on occasions which are obviously for pure trolling purposes is just plain dumb and unnecessary.

    I'm tired of it. Are you too?

    Vettel beating Ricciardo was good

    I'd be pretty worried (edit: if I were a Vettel fan) about the fact that Ricciardo finished less than 10 seconds behind Vettel despite being knocked down to P15 after the first lap.

    I doubt Vettel was pushing as hard most of the time, Ricciardo was pushing a lot because he had ground to make up. 


    You will always find a way to discredit Vettel so I honestly don't care. 

    You think Vettel wasn't pushing when he had to battle with Fernando, the Hulk, Kimi, Button and Hamilton?

    Ok.

    Or do you disagree with potentially faulty brakes being a safety-issue?

    Most drivers in the paddock are using Brembo brakes, same as what Hamilton was using yesterday. If it really were a safety issue, then you'd be seeing more drivers switching away from them.

    Incorrect. Apart from Mercedes, most of the other teams are using last years Brembo-brakes. Last year Brembo had a different supplier. The quality of this years Brembo-brakes is worse due to a different supplier and due to the fact that Brembo have outsourced most of their technical staff to manufacture brakes for airplanes for financial reasons.

    No, when did I say that? Putting words in my mouth. I'm saying, Hamilton never proved himself in a lesser car before he got his chance at a top team, like a fair  amount of other top drivers have done now and in the past. 


    Then this is just another lame attempt to look for anything negative to talk about I suppose? Because, you know, if a driver's got the talent, it shouldn't really matter if he started off in a midfield car or not.

    What difference does it make that he got straight into a top team like McLaren? Isn't it even more difficult up there with all those expectations regardless of your experience? McLaren gave him the chance because they wanted him to deliver, which he did. He lost out to a far more experienced guy by 1 point.

    Hamilton was not in a position where he could afford to not finish his first 5 races of the season without any consequences as Vettel did in his first full season in 2008, most of the time due to his own fault. If anything, Hamilton's first two season at McLaren were far more astonishing than Vettel's 2007 and 2008 seasons pressure-wise. Battling for points and battling for the WDC are two completely different situations to find yourself in, as they say, it's on top where the air gets thinner and thinner. 

    So yeah, to sum up: You're clutching at straws for whatever reason. Probably frustration about Vettel once again losing out to Daniel and Seb's reputation crumbling faster than the PiCK UP!-Cookie I'm about to eat while being amused by your comments.
