Chris,
Why was it surprising that Peter W. kept at it with the pass questions? He and the SPEED crew pretty much needed tissue for all the "I feel sorry for Hamilton" rant that went on for maybe 5 minutes.
Also, remember the pass Hamilton got from Heiki? I forgot which race it was, but he needed the points...and Heiki was wasn't too happy after the race.
Hamilton would have a lot more fans if he didn't gloat so much after a win or good race...and if he was more humble with his peers. The SPEED guys were commenting that all but one driver avoided talking to Hami during one of the events over the weekend. He and Kubica use to be good pals....and now I doubt they even talk, esp. after the comments from Hamilton and his handlers about Kubica. Something about Hamilton .."doing his talking on the track." then he finished outside the points...while Robert came in 2nd.
If Hami doesn't win it this year...no one will really care if he wins it next year or not. If he wins the championship next year...he'll just be another champion,nothing special. If he loses the championship next year..it'll just be another Hami season. The name Villenue was tossed out during the race. Until he starts showing some humility, he'll have to win more championships than Shumi to win over his detractors.
Oh well....Brasil will be a good race.
