So Lewis Hamilton has threatened to leave F1 if he is penalised for his supposedly erratic driving behind the safety car during the Chinese Grand Prix. Actions of a spoilt brat or a grown man??

Actions of a bloke who's probably just a bit fed up of all the cr@p he's had to deal with...... I'm with Stirling Moss (and he should know) - if anyone was to blame for the Japanese GP isssue that's being hurled at Hamilton, it's the under talented eejit doing the throwing... that well known also ran Mark Webber.....
As Hamilton himself has said 'Formula One's supposed to be about hard, fair competition' - not whining to the judges if you can't keep your nose out of the gearbox of the car in front....
Update: have just heard about Sr Alonso's unbelievably mature reaction to qualifying in China - locking himself in his room and destroying everything inside. Now if THAT'S not 'toys out of the pram' then what is????

If he can't stand the pressure (and the millions) he might as well go, I'll take him to the door.
He won't leave anyway, just baby tantrums. Give him back his dummy and he'll be alright.
By the way he should have been punished for his driving behind the safety car. Look at the images. What was he doing so far away from the usual trajectory, especially in those bad conditions? The other drivers were taken by surprise and since overtaking is not allowed under safety car they had to brake or risk being penalised, He clearly misjudged the situation and acted very selfishly.

I wouldn't believe everything that has been reported unless you actually see the interview - words get twisted. But anyway, I said that if Lewis got penalised then I wouldn't watch anymore F1! It's just a reaction to hearing news you don't like. I can't really see myself not watching another race cos I've got the a*se! If he did say that then I don't think it should be taken as gospel
Anyway, if he is throwing his toys out of the pram, he has learnt from the best tantrum thrower of today - Fernando Alsono!

Saying he's threatened to leave F1 is oversating a little, don't you think? I can understand his frustration - if Vettel hadn't driven into Webber, would this ever have been an issue?
Nothing was done during the race by te stewards, no"Car x under investigation", none of the commentators said anything about it. No-one would have given his driving a second thought if Mark Webber hadn't decided to have a gripe. If it was my championship in jeopardy because of some sour grapes, I'd be hacked off too.

Please listen to WHAT is being said and not in the context it is being put over by the news!
How anyone could say that accident had anything to do with Hamilton is beyond all proper sensible thinking. Vettel drove into the back of Webber, Webber was not driven into by Hamilton, BIG difference! It was coming down in sheets, it was an accident! Webber needs to shut up, stop being a girl and just drive the car.
Its get us talking about a great end to the championship though!
Simple really!

There will be no penalty as FIA have decided, which is justice.
There is so much politics in F1 now, if Hamilton were to walk out on F1, then I would have to seriously consider if I should carry on following the sport.
I have been following F1 for at least 30 years, I really feel that strongly.

i think of your remark approximately Alonso being a cheat ought to be clarified. I even have by no ability theory-approximately him as a cheat, and could be very bowled over if he had. There are different international champions who've accomplished appreciably worse, one, working example, parked his motor vehicle on the race song so Alonso could not get pole place. i won't be able to think of him doing this form of element. i think you're conversing appropriate to the emails regarding an worker of Ferrari freely giving own suggestion. To me that's not cheating because of the fact cheating consists of breaking the guidelines, and mutually greater often than not grow to be broken, it wasn't broken with the help of Alonso. with regard to deserving his place at McLaren, he totally merits it. he's the present international champion.

I hope Martin Brundle asks Webber about the rugby on his pit walk about, he`d probably blame that on Hamilton. Whinging poor looser Aussie.

It's quite frightening to think that the state of sport is going to be governed by people using Youtube.
If the offence wasn't picked up by officials, why should it then matter what has been seen by spectators?
I don't think he would leave the sport anyway, he has too much to lose.

He must be feeling very frustrated by his treatment. He is a wonderful F1 driver with a lot of potential.
It is a pity he is not related to M Schumacher, he would get away with everything.
