    Do you pay more taxes than you need to ? Do your kids get into the best schools/colleges in the UK. Is the weather always great in some parts of the country ?
    Probably a dozen more you could add to the list - providing you can tolerate your neighbours being American, or Swiss, or Monacan (?).

    Your forgetting the racist hate of him as well, what is it with the British to hate a very successful sportsman, Beckham gets similar ****, so what if he’s a bit of a dick, he’s officially the best F1 driver ever, suck it up haters/****ers

    I'm sure you can find reasonably affordable sound insulation solutions if you have the brass ?
    Anywhere.

    If winning at F1 is simply all about the cars, it's a bit odd that constructors pay their drivers millions of quid to drive them around.

    I know this is gonna sound kinda crazy but not everyone is governed by money or how little tax they can get away with paying.

    "In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love; they had five hundred years of democracy and peace and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock".

    Those lads must have been on the bench for this game. Strong squad ? Even Grant could have been a success with that squad !

    Probably would have won 2 or 3 more opens if he hadn't had the bad hip

    Stick me in that car and I’d win 10 x F1 titles back to back.

    FACT.

    Absolute joke of a past time.

    I know I’ve banged this drum before but when my doctor tells me to get more exercise and I tell him I do at least an hour of sport a day I imagine it would go like this;?

    Oh really Carmine what sport would that be?

    I drive to work and back.

    Oh well done big man, that’ll do you the world of good. You might want to double up and start playing chess as well.



    Get to ****.

    I've personally have got nothing but admiration for him, he came from a normal family who like many parents try to do whatever they can to give their offsprings the best chance in life. He took that opportunity and got to the top, which in my book I take my hat off to him.

    When you watch a race like yesterday , you see just how good of a driver he is , also before the race they showed the turkish grand prix I think in 2007 where he literally tore through the field in a mclaren like nothing I have seen before against drivers with better cars and much more experienced, (incidently the grand prix was a certain Sebastian Vettels debut and he showed some great driving skills that race also) .

    Like others have said , fantastic driver and deserves all the plaudits for his driving , but he just has never been likeable for me , I think its just his outright determination to be the best for him and him only , which should be admired I guess

    It's reasonable common knowledge that the Cuckoo Clock is a German invention.

    So Orson Welles, huh? Greatest actor, writer, producer of his generation?

    Anyone would have been as good with similarly affluent parents who paid for them to attend the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

    Useless beardy hipster ****.
