http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/15054429.stm Never particularly liked him tbh, something about his manner irritates me, but I really think Lewis needs to have his dad back as his manager and to listen to him. Obviously Lewis wants to be his own man, not some 'daddy's boy', and we all remember how we rolled our eyes at our parents only to find out years later that they were right. Always thught that signing with Simon Fuller was a very ill advised decision, Lewis should decide if he wants money and fame or WDC's.
His dad isnt the answer either. He needs something similar to what other drivers have as managers. Somebody who knows the sport
possibly, but he was at his best when his dad was his manager, he needs grounding and I think his dad could resupply that, you could be right and it's too close a relationship, but it delivered a title, nearly 2. I also think that the split with his dad has caused him a bit of emotional stress on Lewis, and getting his dad back as manager would heal some of that, it can't be nice seeing your dad managing someone else during your race. As to his dads managment skills, I think they're ok, doing a decent enough job for Paul Di Resta.
True Hamilton Sr is doing a good job and building a good portfolio for him self as a driver manager but with Lewis it is to emotionally attached which is why they parted in the first place.
Good article Miggs. I agree with those who suggest Simon Fuller was not really the best option. But then again, who are we to know better when what really matters is how they get on together, as much as what Fuller is actually saying? As for Hamilton senior, let's remember that he knows motor racing very well indeed! It is a great shame that their previously fruitful relationship floundered in the face of public ridicule, which at least in part affected Lewis' decision to go it alone. (Yes, he was and is affected by our opinions!)
Didn't we say this move by Lewis was going to be a bad thing? He should of got Brundle or Mika, they would of got his back at every GP.
Sorry for being OT here. But I always wondered why you and some others write should OF instead of should HAVE. Is that a British slang or something? No offense intended, I am seriously curious.
well he aint getting any support from the british media, just look at their hamilton fail compilation on the bbc sport website. Simon Fuller does not know how to manage an f1 driver, lewis needs an ex driver like mikka or even dc.
Slang, south east slang. Blame the school system, ah **** it who gives a damn! The government sure as hell don't care.
it's because when phrases 'could have, might have' are shortened to their "could've, might've" versions they sound like could of, might of, and so get written that way.
It is unfortunate that the British education system has not properly addressed this national embarrassment, which leaves people seemingly not caring about making an improvement. I say "embarrassment" not to be offensive to SilverArrow but because the truth is that English usage, grammar and spelling, is more likely to be accurate in the U.S.A. - if you accept their bastardised spelling norms! And that is a national embarrassment to anyone who is still proud of British heritage. I feel very sad about this but pleased that you have mentioned it.
Hehe.. Ok I see, I wanted to ask for long but never got around to do it. I always have to stop and go back and read it again to understand what you mean But I guess I will get used to it soon enough Ahh yes! Now when I am saying it out loud I can definitely hear how almost identical they sound. Nice! Thanks Migg

Thank you cosi, I really like the way you debate and your very correct writing(unless it's anti MSC crap lol). I recently decided for a career change, went back to school to improve my high school grades and continue at the university to become a sea captain. Currently studying English so I'm naturally very curious at the moment. Learnt "american" from TV but want to be fluent in British English thinking that will be better for my career. I might move to the UK If I find a university there. As long as it is not in Wales, I think they sound too funny and do not want to speak like that lol (sorry welsh people) Uhm.. Don't know why I wrote all that but yea..
Is that why when I try to use an "S" my spell checker which is supposed to be English UK tells me to use a "Z" instead or if I type "colour" the same spell checkers says it is "color" and "night" is "nite" or tyre as tire although in the tyre case both are correct depending on which era you live in. I could go on and on and I usually do The word tyre came from tie which was a band of steel used to hold the spokes and rim of a wooden wheel together (also used on barrels) soon it became known as a tier as in "pass me that tier to put on this wheel" in the way that the written language always progresses it was spelt as tire, however when the pneumatic tire was invented the advertisers called them tyres, hence all the confusion. Bored yet?
Because of Hamilton's idiotic decisions on track, his teammate is silently taking the reigns of the Mclaren team. This demise is sad to watch, but it was bound to happen. I remember when Hamilton stated months back that he was the only driver capable of attacking Vettel for the WDC. Hamilton did lose his front wing because of his own misjudgment not because he wanted the right line or anything like that. He deserved the penalty but unfortunately the FIA are fighting fire with fire, Hamilton is not learning from these penalty's and as I said before he needs a wise old voice in his ear to tell him to calm down. I am sure there will be some Schumacher stories suddenly appearing and contrasts between him and Lewis will be evident.. So I will clear it up. Michael was over-driving the car before the collision taking around -1 second a lap off Rosberg, even Norbert Haug stated Rosberg would have fallen back was it not for the collision. Also the corner cutting by Nico Rosberg if done by Michael instead would have brought him even more criticism "he is a cheat".. "Taking positions and not giving them back" etc..etc. It is just vile how people have a second agenda. I for one am optimistic about MSC in Suzuka. I am sure others (many others) would state otherwise.
