Yeah, in rush, mother doesn't get his autograph, little girl falls (maybe even injured) and he just walks away like nothing happened.

Just look at how poorly he overtook Alonso and Mass at Silverstone, he guy doesn't have a fighter instinct.

Although Hamilton aggressiveness has led to blunders like in France, Bahrain and Canada at least he's demonstrating the urge to pass other cars and win. Heck he even challenged Heikki in Silverstone even though Heikki's car was just as fast. Heikki would never have the balls to attempt the same thing on Hamilton.

Problems with setup is not an excuse, nobody has a perfect car throughout the all the race weekends. Mclaren had major problems with their setup in Barcelon but yet Hamilton cooked up a strategy with his engineer and fought very hard the entire race to end up on the podium. So stop using poor claims that the reason for Heikki's lackluster performance is due to Mclaren favoritism.

I'm not hating of Heikki. He's a good driver, but "good" isn't enough to drive a top car and he has yet to go the extra mile that warrants him to drive such a fantastic car. All I'm saying is that he's not the right man for Mclaren.

i think this whole overtaking issue is due to the car aeros itself. it makes overtaking these days almost impossible.

we all saw how Kimi got stuck behind Trulli for 19 laps. then, Massa was stuck behind Glock in Canada for a bit. Hammi in France, Hammi in Bahrain.

in contrast, look at the way Kimster used to overtake back in 2003 and 2005. bottom line is, the aero these cars have these days are nuts to overtaking.

Re: 2008 German Grand Prix

What is funny is even the mother first ignores the crying kid and is still trying to get the autograph. lol.

Oh and I hate kids, so I would probably have not stopped either.

McLaren did the right thing, the problem is that they are a bunch of hypocrites, that say one thing and do another. And you are starting to sound like Ron Dennis.
