Lewis Hamilton

Does anybody else think that Lewis's burnout antics in Melbourne are funny or is it just my sick sense of humour. Good luck to Mark Webber for this his home race

I reckon someone probably saw him and yelled out to him "Hey Lewis man, give it some **it brother!"

and the rest is history

still it is a public road and the Police have no choice other than to deal with it like they would you and I, it wouldn't be fair otherwise and someone would get their knickers in a knot over it.

It's funny that he wont get the car back until Monday - that made me laugh.

I'm sure he's had a giggle over it too.

In a whole bunch of countries, or states, where there is a bit of common sense, the reaction would probably have been, "Look, it's not a good idea to do that here, sir, so please take it easy and on your way."
Instead, this is a front page story. What a load of rubbish.

I thought Mark Webbers comments went a bit too far.

macfly - please explain your heritage, you seem as smooth as katschit, I figured you must be an aussie or pom : p

but 1/4 doesn't cut buddy ; )

Chewie, my great grandad on mum's side was one of the engineers who built the Perth-Adelaide railroad, after that he started an opal mine, made a stash of cash and decided to send his daughter back to London to get a proper introduction into high society. Well she met my grandpa, and they had a child out of wedlock - very scandalous in those days, anyhow that was my mum. 1/2 ozzi 1/2 pom.

Dad's side is all Scotland for 900 years, Kingussi & Newtonmore, but I was born in London, but been in the US since 1984 and became an American in 2000.

There you have it, I'm a mutt of many influences, but all of them were under the queen's flag!

macfly - I knew there was something special about you must say I am surprised that none of your American brothers jumped on me, when I said you must be Aus or Pom, the concept of 'taking the piss' is filtering through.

Webber's never been a Hamilton fan so I'm not surprised he took the opportunity to take a shot at him.
