Lewis Hamilton Sucks

Hamilton: Risk taking sets top drivers apart

ESPN - Lewis Hamilton believes the most successful drivers in Formula One have always been those that are willing to take risks.

Hamilton has been involved in a number of incidents this season, from two collisions at Monaco to a clash with his own team-mate in Canada. He has received four drive-through penalties (or the equivalent post-race penalty) and two reprimands for his driving, and his track record has attracted criticism from some quarters of the press.

"I think just generally in motor racing there is a fine line between being very dangerous and putting other people's lives at risk and then being just beneath the danger zone," he told Reuters.

"And that's kind of where you just try never to go over the line. But this is motor racing and we are racing wheel-to-wheel at 200 mph so it's going to happen. There are crashes all the time and people are going to touch at some stage."

Hamilton apologises for crash

REUTERS - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton shouldered the blame and apologised to his Formula One team after yet another accident in a crash-strewn season ended his Belgian Grand Prix hopes on Sunday.

The 2008 world champion, winner at Spa last year, speared into the metal barriers at Les Combes after trying to pass Sauber's Japanese Kamui Kobayashi for fourth place.

Commentators were divided on who was to blame, with McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh making a strong defence of the Briton, but Hamilton said it was his fault.

"After watching the replay, I realise it was my fault today 100%. I didn't give Kobayashi enough room though I thought (I) was past," he said on his Twitter account after he had left the circuit.

"Apologies to Kamui and to my team. The team deserves better from me."

The accident happened on the 13th of the 44 scheduled laps when the McLaren's rear left wheel touched the Sauber's front right, a contact that sent Hamilton's car careering off the track and into the metal barriers.

The Briton, who went to the medical centre for checks, emerged unscathed apart from a few bruises.

Hamilton doesn't 'desire' Ferrari drive, but....

CRASH - Lewis Hamilton insists that he has no huge longing to drive for Ferrari - at this point in his career.

Even though he is thought likely to be confirmed as a McLaren driver for next season, Lewis Hamilton continues to be linked to the Woking team's biggest rivals for future F1 campaigns.

Hamilton's body language and comments have been altogether more pro-McLaren in recent weeks, coinciding with a two-race winning streak for the Mercedes-powered squad, but not so long ago he was overtly seeking a chat with Red Bull team boss Christian Horner and has been repeatedly mentioned in connection with a possible Ferrari seat, even though former McLaren team-mate Fernando Alonso has inked a long-term deal to remain at Maranello.

With Felipe Massa all but certain to remain as the Spaniard's cohort in 2012 - he has been verbally confirmed by president Luca di Montezemolo - Hamilton may have to wait for a drive that McLaren team-mate Jenson Button rates as one of his 'dream opportunities', but the 2008 world champion insists that he is not losing sleep over whether or not the chance comes his way.

"At the moment I don't have any plans to [drive there], it is not something I desire or feel that I have to do," he told Spanish sports newspaper AS , "but we are talking about a fantastic team and you never know what could happen in the future."

'I made big mistake' admits Hamilton after chicane spin

THE INDEPENDENT - It was a mixed day for McLaren at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Delight for Jenson Button, despair and disappointment for Lewis Hamilton.

After leading for much of the race, Hamilton's afternoon fell apart when he stayed on the super-soft Pirelli tyres after pitting on lap 40, spun on lap 47 and later made another pit stop for intermediate tyres that became redundant when the rain soon stopped again.

"I made a big mistake," he confessed afterwards.

"My left front tyre was pretty worn so I went a bit wide at the chicane and spun, which is very, very rare." Resuming with a spin-turn, he delayed Paul di Resta and was given a drive-through penalty, which finally killed his chances. "I didn't see him," he said.

"I had absolutely no clue. But I apologise to him."

Lewis Hamilton: I need a longer anthem!

THE SUN - Lewis Hamilton wants longer to reign over his rivals. The Formula One star has called for the National Anthem to be extended so he can spend more time on the podium.

Brit Hamilton roared to victory in German Grand Prix after what he rated one of his best-ever performances.

But the 26-year-old McLaren driver feels God Save The Queen is far shorter than his rivals' anthems and he is being cheated of podium time after a victory.

Hamilton said:

"I am massively proud to hear the National Anthem. When you're growing up and you see Olympians and the greats standing on the podium, you dream of being up there and having the anthem played. But everyone else's is much longer than ours, so I would urge the UK to extend our National Anthem. When I stand up there and Felipe Massa has won, Brazil's anthem is like 10 minutes long. Ours is less than half a minute."

Hamilton has vowed to win again in Hungary this weekend if the team give him the same car.
