Was reading the straits time home section just now and read the F1 section ... And check this report !!
Other drivers agreed that the stewards were right to penalise Hamilton. And this lack of support is telling, for it is clear the Mclaren star is not popular among his peers. His critics see an arrogance in him that is unattractive and unjustified by his lack of world titles.
In Monaco earlier this season, he infuriated many by talking about racing legend Ayrton Senna, making it clear that he sees himself in the same class.
One never hears Raikkonen, the current world champion, or Fernando Alonso, a two time-time champion, do this. Other statement from Hamilton also speak volumes."I think MASSA is on the back foot and he is the one that has to work damn hard to keep up with me," he said.Hamilton said Raikkonen after the Belgian GP: "If you don't have the nerves to brake late, that's your problem."On the track, the Mclaren man is becoming increasingly aggressive, some would say reckless. At one spell in Monza, he passed 8 cars in an impressive charge.
But on several occasions, he was on the edge, pushing Timo Glock, the Toyota driver, onto the grass and banging wheels with Mark Webber of Red Bull. "I do not know what he was thinking," said Glock. "I was right next to him, but he left me no room. "Sometimes, he drives as though he is completely alone on the track. The next time I am with him on track, I will behave with him in exactly the same way.
But the Mclaren man simply boasted: "I drove my a*** off and you know what i can do in the wet."
The season has come to the boil at the perfect time for the Singapore GP. A tight title race featuring a brash championship leader in Hamilton against a dark horse in Massa finally coming into his own. A night race that none of the competition has faced, on the street circuit that has never been raced on. Whatever happens, the race will be a bright spot on the Formula One Circuit !!
Ferrari's Felipe Massa has vowed to pull out the stops at the Singtel Singapore Grand Prix. "Now we go to Singapore, which is new. It's important to see the track and see how it is. This year, we have seen a lot of rain in the race," the Brazilian said "All I must do is to keep trying and make sure I'm in front of Lewis Hamilton."
