krugerandsmith Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Such a privileged chap,but today showed his unsporting side and totally threw the toys out of the pram. Cry Baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norfolk dumpling Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 'Cry baby' - I think not. A massive cock-up by his team which he took very well. I suspect he may have had one or two thought s of retribution but bit his lip. Looking forward to the Canadian GP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingo15 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 everyone is entitled to their owns views. he did everything right all weekend and then to get shafted by his own team with just over a handful of laps to go o can see why he got narked off. No need to do what they did. on a plus note thought red bull showed good sportsmanship with their drivers for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I feel for him, I would of been very ****** off. Still a boring race. When will they take my suggestion seriously about putting a jump on the back straight or at Monaco do a loop in the tunnel, up one side, over the top and back down.

shaun4860 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 on a plus note thought red bull showed good sportsmanship with their drivers for a change. Could you have seen Vettel doing that? Or seeing as we are talking about him, could you have seen Hamilton doing that? Fair play on Ricciardo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 as for Jensen Button picking up points the only way Jenson will pick up any more points this season is if he gets a shell loyalty card from his local garage. Care to have a £10 wager on that with the winnings going to Orchid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandalf Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Cry Baby. Incredible post. The guy performed flawlessly over the whole weekend for himself and the team. He drove flawlessly lap after lap after lap. The concentration needed to drive at the max speed the machine is capable of with walls and barriers millimetres from the front wheels must be enormous. The adrenalin rush must be enormous too. Then, with just minutes to go, the whole thing is taken away from you by someone else's faulty decision... Even the Arch Angel Gabriel himself would be slightly miffed. Then he knew he had to face the TV crews of the world who are all hoping he would slang off his team mate or the team itself. (That would make a better programme for them). He did neither. He stopped on track for just a few seconds to compose himself, then got on with the job. Like the guy or not you can't be serious with that comment Krugerandsmith. Just put yourself in his position for a minute or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 some love to moan, point fingers and judge.... and I'm not talking about F1 here.... these men are super competative and its only natural to be annoyed if things didnt go right particularly if its part of the team thats let them down. They're still falable men not driving machines bread for our entertainment, I bet you nearly all the drivers would have done/acted the same if they were put in the same position. Take the Hamilton chip off yours shoulders and enjoy it for what it is. All this "I dont like blah blah" miffs me, I/we dont know any of them so how could I/we possibly judge.

bruno22rf Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I don't get it-I had tyres fitted at Formula 1 last week and it took them over an hour-I didn't even get upset -in fact I spent some quality time with my daughter in Homebase while we waited. I don't know if there's a Homebase in Monaco but surely there are similar outlets? Edited May 25, 2015 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1961 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 As a ex track Marshall who has marshalled both f1 and motogp how many f1 drivers have anyone seen jumping over rails when he saw a disabled child in a wheelchair trying to get a autographs not only gave her an autographs but posed for a picture and signed his cap of his head and gave it to her and that was multi world champion valantino Rossi the kid was in tears with joy that's the difference between a true sportsman and the primadonnas all the moto gp riders are the same true sports men with time for their fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think after the monumental error of bringing Hamilton in for an unnecessary pit stop he could still have finished second. The fatal pit stop took 4.1 seconds which was over a second slower than what Mercedes are capable of but was probably caused by a slight pause in actually moving off after the tyres were changed. Was there a momentary transmission glitch ? Had the pit stop been three or less seconds Hamilton would have got to the pit lane cut off point before Vettel arrived and finished at worst second. Vic.

tonker Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Don't like his attitude, He's either very up, or very down (sulky) I told my kids off for that when they were younger. Hate to admit it but he is a hell of a driver! But then I could probably just about cope if I was on £100 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliver90owner Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I hope those that actually think about it are clued up. The exchange of places by red bull was just a cynical ploy to get points. No more, no less. At the time of the first place swap, there was a stewards investigation going on re the collision with Raikonnen. If his team mate had given him space to make up more than an expected 5 second penalty, they (between them) would have secured more points. As soon as they heard there was no penalty, it was all change back to where they would/should have finished. The five seconds, or more, gap was the driving force behind the team orders. Overtaking at Monaco is renowned as extremely difficult (without pushing the opposition aside). Edited May 25, 2015 by oliver90owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fse10 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Could that win for Rossberg being his hatrick at Monaco equaling Graham Hills & two other drivers win's there have any thing to do with it?

So if your team management make a complete hash of managing your race and leave you with no chance of recovering from their mistake you are supposed to just shrug your shoulders and accept it without appearing to be just a little bit annoyed ? I think that Hamilton handled himself very well in the post race interviews. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Hamilton handled himself very well in the post race interviews. Vic. I agree, having watched the recorded race and already knowing the result, I was struck by how well Hamilton composed himself for the interviews afterwards, this was the Monaco Grand Prix after all which is by all account super tough to win. I also think Rosberg took the win humbly and paid plenty of compliments to Hamilton for his domination throughout the week end, he simply said that he has learned in this game to accept lucky wins when they come because there'll be times when the tables are turned. Top blokes the pair of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol p Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Hamilton needs to change his mental state. He did it after spa last year and the results were apparent. If he can drop the image factor and remember that he is a motor racing driver and not a fashion clothes horse he would be able to better focus on his winning AND losing. He came away from Monaco with 15 points and leads the championship by 10 at approx 30% through the season so far. Yes the team may have a factor in his loss of the win, but the team still won. What would we think/ feel seeing someone sulking and using unsporting behaviour because they didn't hit enough clays or bag enough pigeons while they were out with us? I've always believed that a positive mental attitude will bring results, maybe not immediately but eventually. If he can drop the attitude that was on show at Monaco and realise he had Rosberg beaten by some 20 secs before the pitstop, then this would serve him better later in the season. Let's take his main competitor/team mates father as an example, keke Rosberg only won a single race in the 1982 season but took the world championship. It's the points that make prizes. Hamilton is a fantastic racing driver and has the talent, the team, the car and ability to wrap up the season before november. Anyway, that's all I have to say about that.

Vince Green Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 There is no room for sportmanship in F1, its a hard nosed business with huge amounts of money at stake. Back in Graham Hill's day all the rival drivers used to go on the lash togeather after the race in Monaco. You cant imagine that happening today!

What would we think/ feel seeing someone sulking and using unsporting behaviour because they didn't hit enough clays or bag enough pigeons while they were out with us? I think you're kind of missing the point ! He was leading and the team incorrectly advised him that Vettel was about the change tyres and they miscalculated the time lead he had - I think he had every right to be annoyed. Someone getting upset missing clays/pigeons is down to them personally - if Hamilton had made the decision himself then yes it would have been his fault. Personally I think he did hold himself very well, but I also do agree with you he is too focused on as you say being a clothes horse, and he's certainly not my favourite British driver (JB ) Edited May 28, 2015 by MrM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
