Anyone watched the FIA conference with Lewis about the incident involving him & Trulli ?

Lewis is almost crying. :o


Yeah, saw that on the BBC. Hopefully that's it and they can move on without further penalty's (exclusion would be stupid, only 18 cars on the grid then)

Puts a different slant on the issue if the wronged party are absolving one of the guilty parties of most of the blame.

It was the first time since Belgium 98, no Ferrari and no McLaren scored points.

And it was the first time since 1986, no Ferrari and no McLaren scored one or more points in the opening race.

A team scored it's first win with a one-two in that race as well. (though because it's basically a renaming, I don't feel it as much a first win as Jordan was.

I dunno if you're being sarcastic or not, but that's fucking it! what a joke. Great role model you are, Lulu.

Anyone actually seen the Mercedes-Hamilton advertisements around nowadays? Especially the one where it says something like "catch up this half term", obviously aimed at the kids. Yeah, catch up and see the sport with shit like this, and the champ lying! Bravo!

Look at your role model first before you judge Lewis, thx.

i wasn't under the impression that liars publically apologise for their mistakes but what do i know.

have we ever seen a driver that holds a press conference to apologise? cause i certainly don't remember one. and i seem to recall many times where drivers tried to blatantly mislead and make a fool out of everyone. a certain 7 time world champion stopping in the middle of the road at monaco springs instantly to mind. of course, normal misleading happens in all investigations. i wonder if BMW, Ferrari, RBR and Renault are going to be accused of misleading for protesting against teams that are perfectly within the rules.

of course when lewis "cries", it's crocodile tears... when massa cries it's being humble.

arrogant must've gotten too old...

Hamilton considered quitting over Oz GP

By Simon Strang Saturday, April 4th 2009, 23:43 GMT

Lewis Hamilton considered quitting McLaren, and even Formula 1, over the controversy surrounding his exclusion from last week's Australian Grand Prix, according to a report in The Sunday Times newspaper.

The newspaper claims that the world champion was talked out of walking away from the sport by FIA president Max Mosley, after Hamilton contacted the governing body to express his frustration that McLaren had misled him over the affair.

The Briton was disqualified from the Melbourne results after the stewards deemed he and McLaren sporting director Dave Ryan had 'deliberately misled' them about a radio conversation that took place after he had passed Toyota driver Jarno Trulli behind the safety car.

Hamilton and his father Anthony are reported to have been furious that his public perception had been tarnished by the affair, and both apparently insisted McLaren allow him to take the unprecendented step of holding a press conference in the FIA media centre so he could come clean about the situation.

He subsequently made an emotional open apology to the stewards and his fans. "I was misled and that is the way it went," he told the press. "I would like to say a big sorry to all my fans who have believed in me, who have supported me for years, who I showed who I am for the past three years, and it is who I am. I am not a liar. I am not a dishonest person.

Bernie Ecclestone told the Daily Mail: "Lewis is terribly upset but his father is even more upset having his son called a cheat. Anthony has brought Lewis up not to be like that and he is disappointed somebody has called him a liar when he isn't deliberately lying."

Hamilton's future with McLaren now remains unclear. BBC commentator Martin Brundle pointed out in his Sunday Times column today that the 24-year-old could walk free from his multi-year contract citing a breach on the team's behalf.

"McLaren could also now be perceived to be in breach of Lewis's contract for bringing him into disrepute especially as a senior team member has taken the whole rap," said Brundle, who raced for McLaren in 1994. "This would make him a free agent if he wanted to move teams."

Brundle also suggested that the scandal may stay with Hamilton forever. "The Briton's reputation has understandably taken a battering but a sense of perspective is required here.

"He will recover from this in time but he will have to live with the stigma in perpetuity, just as [Michael] Schumacher does. It will always be mentioned in his epitaph."

They took it rather harsh if that's true.

For everyone interested, here's the explanation BBC gave the viewers yesterday before qualifying.

I guess it's April 14th as there's the decision about the diffusers.

I'm not the biggest Hamilton fan and what happened was certainly not good at all, but I genuinely feel that Hamilton is a) sorry and b) was put in a very difficult position by people in his team that should know better. At the end of the day we can all sit here and say 'well, he had an opinion of his own and should have stood up and been honest', but when you're getting paid a few million quid a year by a team that basically gave you the chance to be a superstar, I dare say many of us would have towed the line too.

Spot on Matt. Its easy for everyone here to say that he's a liar/cheat/they wouldn't have done it etc. But its almost certain that everyone would've done the same if told by the team who were paying them tens of millions each year.
