Fun F1

Either Anthony Hamilton was talking BS after the Brazilian Grand Prix or the guy’s a robot. This is what he had to say after his son failed to take the Drivers World Championship after leading it for most of the season (in his rookie season none-the-less):

None of us are in pain. Trust me – we feel great…

Ok, hold on. What father wouldn’t feel pain when his son came so close to achieving his ultimate dream? Even I felt a little bit of pain for Lewis (albeit not much ). He had it in the bag and then everything went against him at the last moment. That has to hurt.

And besides, never trust someone who feels the need to say “trust me” when talking to the media..   He continued:

We’ve just had one of the most fantastic F1 seasons ever. If someone told me we’d have been in this position at the start of the season I would have said they were dreaming but to lose it by one point is no bad thing.

The “I would have said they were dreaming” part is sooooo cliche! This guy’s a walking press release isn’t he?  Lewis has had an amazing season and should be proud of his results. But to have one hand on the championship and then lose it to Kimi Raikkonen of all people..? Ouch!
