Hamilton tempts rivals into mind games

[elinagr]

http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/080912093043.shtml

Hamilton talking about Raikkonen:

"That's the way he drives, If you don't have the balls to brake late, that's your problem,"


What a bad attitude, there is no way Kimi will let him win this weekend,
if Hamilton tries to pass Kimi they will crash for sure. Ferrari will start to favor Massa and it will work well with Kimi's help.I dont think that Kimi wants Hamilton to win the championship after this stubit comments.
In 2008 a stubit English comments the world champion that he don't have the balls, oh dear, someone should teach him a lesson on Sunday.

[ioan]

Mind games?!

We all know that Lewy has great balls, after all he keeps repeating it day and night, however in order to play mind games you first need a great mind, and for now there is little proof he's got one.

[Knock-on]

I read it and laughed.

This penalty has fired him up more than usual.

:D

[PolePosition_1]

I read it and laughed.

This penalty has fired him up more than usual.

:D

I agree I think its awesome.

We all complain about drivers being too PR orientated and in the interests of sponsors and PC. And when one breaks the mould everyone is first to jump on him and criticise him.

I hope it continues :)

:laugh:

Lets get back to the drivers being the most important part of this circus and not the Team Principles, engineers, race directors, stewards, members of the FIA or the hooker wife of an MI5 employee :)

Some people here would sh!t a brick at some of the goings on with the likes of Senna, Prost or Il Leone

[Big Ben]

I don't really care if he has big balls or not... it's his big mouth that bothers me. I don't recall hearing any other driver talking so much about how great he is.

True. I see it as him running off at the mouth and again making self gratifying comments.

[Knock-on]

I hope Kimi and Massa are a little more thick skinned than some here or Ferrari are really in trouble.

Hope none of you lot ever play cricket if a few digs upsets you so much :D

Here's a few for you.

1) Rodney Marsh (Australia) and Ian Botham (England)


Rodney Marsh to Ian Botham in an Ashes match: “So how’s your wife and my kids?” Ian Botham's reply - "The wife's fine. The kids are retarded !"


2) Javed Miandad (Pakistan) and Merv Hughes (Australia)


Javed Miandad called Hughes a fat bus conductor during a match. A few balls later, Hughes dismissed Miandad. “Tickets please,” said Huges, as he ran past the departing batsman.


3) Glenn McGrath (Ausrtralia) and Ramnaresh Sarwan (West Indies)


McGrath to Ramnaresh Sarwan: "So what does Brian Lara's di*k taste like?"Sarwan: "I don't know. Ask your wife.


McGrath (lost his cool): "If you ever F**king mention my wife again, I'll F**king rip your F**ing throat out."


4) Douglas Jardine (England) and Bill Woodfull (Australia)


England player Jardine complained that one of the Australian players called him a B4stard . Australian captain Bill Woodfull turns to his team, points to Jardine and asked “Which one of you b4stards called this b4stard a b4stard ?”


5) Mark Waugh (Australia) and Adam Parore (New Zealand)


Mark Waugh standing at second slip, Adam Parore played & missed the first ball. Mark - "Ohh, I remember you from a couple years ago in Australia. You were then, you're ••••••• useless now". Parore- (Turning around) "Yeah, that's me & when I was there you were going out with that old, ugly slut & now I hear you've married her. You dumb ••••".


6) Steve Waugh (Australia) and Parthiv Patel (India)


When Steve came (Steve's last test match) to bat, Parthiv said, "Come on, just one more of the famous slog-sweeps before you finish" Steve-"Respect Me...for when i made my test debut You were still in your nappies".


7) Glen McGrath (Australia) and Eddo Brandes (Zimbabwe)


Aussie paceman Glenn McGrath was bowling to Zimbabwe number 11 Eddo Brandes - who was just missing each ball. McGrath, frustrated, went to him and inquired: "Why are you so fat?"Quick as a flash, Brandes replied, "Because every time I make love to your wife, she gives me a biscuit."


8) Ravi Shastri (India) and Mike Whitney (Australia)


Shastri hits the ball towards Mike Whitney (the 12th man in the game) and looked for a single. Whitney said, "If you leave the crease i’ll break your f***ing head". Without battling an eyelid, Shastri retorted, "If you could bat as well as you can talk you wouldn't be the f***ing 12th man".


9) Sunil Gavaskar (India) and Viv Richards (West Indies)


To ease the pressure on himself, Sunil Gavaskar had decided to come lower down the order and bat at No 4 for that particular match. But, Malcolm Marshall fired out Anshuman Gaekwad and Dilip Vengsarkar for ducks, setting the stage for Gavaskar to walk in at 0/2. Viv Richards said "Man, it don't matter where you come in to bat, the score is still zero."


10) Viv Richards (West Indies) and Merv Hughes (Australia)


Viv Richards hit Merv Hughes for four consecutive boundaries in one over. Merv stops halfway down the pitch, farted loudly, and said to Viv: “let’s see you hit that to the boundary!” Viv was dumb-founded.

[Big Ben]

so in our case, it's hamilton and... who?

[Dave B]

Top-flight international sportsman uses the media to put pressure on his championship rivals.

Hold the front page :rolleyes:

[wedge]

I don't really care if he has big balls or not... it's his big mouth that bothers me. I don't recall hearing any other driver talking so much about how great he is.

Senna?

Prost once said "the problem with Senna is that he thinks he is God"

Senna?

Prost once said "the problem with Senna is that he thinks he is God"

He well might have been thinking that he was "God", but I don't recall him ever claiming that Alain was lacking in the testicle department.

[jens]

:laugh: That quote made me laugh too! He's talking very... straight!

Talking about arrogance... it may be easy to become arrogant if one becomes very successful already early in his career and feels superiority over others in direct competition. Time may settle him down (I don't quite think he'll have similar comments at the age of 30) and/or if he faces rivalry, against who he struggles. Last year's WDC was his to lose and this year he is leading the standings again. He hasn't really felt yet that there is somebody, who is too hard to beat even for him... If one day he experiences such feeling, it may increase his respect about his rival(s).

[Shalafi]

Hamilton showed in Canada how he has balls to brake REALLY late...

[wedge]

He well might have been thinking that he was "God", but I don't recall him ever claiming that Alain was lacking in the testicle department.

Schumi didn't like Senna bullying him in 92/93. Senna retorted by calling Schumi a "stupid boy".

[MAX_THRUST]

Lewis has been playing games for a while now, I'm surprised it has taken this long for a thread on it....He has made plenty of comments, none that I can recall. A few to Massa in press conferences. The experienced drivers know it, but it can still rattle people.

There's no harm in coming second as long as you tried your best. That line has worked so many times in so many sports, and people still fall for it.

Fighting talk is good for the fans and good for egging drivers on.

Schumi didn't like Senna bullying him in 92/93. Senna retorted by calling Schumi a "stupid boy".

Yes, but that was in a slanging match after both were involved in a crash, not in an interview. Schumi slapped Sato on the helmet (Down, Max!) but that too was in the heat of the moment, not in a PR event.

Not sure I remember Senna being so derogatory in an interview.

[elinagr]

what a stupit thread :P

[pino]

what a stupit thread :P

You sound just like someone I banned months ago for posting such stupid and unecessary posts...so stop doing that and stay away from topics you don't like !

[pino]

what a stupit thread :P

Why you started it then ?

[wedge]

When he was really angry Senna used to use expletives in the press conferences. Can't remember exactly but I seem to remember watching on youtube clip of one of the press conferences and he used the F word whilst referring to someone in particular.

[ioan]

what a stupit thread :P

I wonder who started it! :laugh:

[wedge]

Reminds me of when Patrese congratulated Mansell for setting pole at Silverstone 1992 and Patrese wanted to check how big Mansells balls were!

The day Kimi passes Lewis on the track, would be funny if Lewis grabbed Kimi's balls during the podium ceremony!

*checks podium ceremony protocol*

[Knock-on]

:laugh:

I remember that.

Wouldn't it be good to get a bit more personal with F1. It's been aloof for way to long and it's refreshing to see someone "big it up" a bit.

I know the bleeding hearts will moan about the arrogance, rudeness, cheek etc but I love it :D

[Dzeidzei]

Well it seems that Kimi´s really upset. He responded with an Italian type of emotional way.

"I dont care", he said. Or "all the same". In Finnish that speaks more than a thousand words about how he feels about Lewis´ mind games :)

And I thought Lewis´s mind games was handled by his papa.

[elinagr]

I pray for Kimi to crash into Hamilton, payback from earlier this year an the pit exit.........

[gloomyDAY]

I pray for Kimi to crash into Hamilton, payback from earlier this year an the pit exit.........That's a silly thing to say while accusing Hamilton of being a bad sportsman.

[Tomi]

The day Kimi passes Lewis on the track, would be funny if Lewis grabbed Kimi's balls during the podium ceremony!

Maybe better if he continious playing with his own and his dad's balls.

[elinagr]

Sportsman? who is this?:P

[markabilly]

what ???Last year he said he was cooler than Kimi and then went out and pushed the wrong button, crashed out in the pitlane....bottom line last his cool while kimi took home a WDC.........so expect him to do something really stupid now that will demonstrate his balls are much smaller than Kimi, that is assuming he has any, and the more I see of him at times, the more I wonder how much make-up....I mean are thsoe lips really that red, and is he using eyebrow liner??????????????

[CNR]

i hope that a Ferrari driver can take the WDC for the next 4 or 5 years in a row

i think if alonso ends up there is a good chance of that

It's a shame really.

People say how boring F1 drivers are these days but if you speak your mind and you're labelled as arrogant.

Mind games?!

We all know that Lewy has great balls, after all he keeps repeating it day and night, however in order to play mind games you first need a great mind, and for now there is little proof he's got one.

So why is Lewis so obsessed with everyone's balls? Hmm?

No...Afraid! :(

[elinagr]

he crash this kart because is small for his big balls.. maybe weight balance was wrong with the big balls changing directions and he spin :P

[Triumph]

. . . . I don't recall hearing any other driver talking so much about how great he is.

Pinched from Wikipedia:

"He's a quality driver, very strong and only 16. If he keeps this up I'm sure he will reach F1. It's something special to see a kid of his age out on the circuit. He's clearly got the right racing mentality."

Michael Schumacher speaking about Hamilton in 2001.

MS was right in 2001. Problem is that Lewis still has the mentality of a 16 year old! (Or at least the mouth of one!)

[Triumph]

I think it's the usual case of people mistaking confidence for arrogance. Based on other interviews I have seen, he seems to be a genuinely nice person.

He is reacting to a decidedly anti-McLaren (and therefore anti-Lewis) atmosphere that seems to exist in F1 at the moment. He is clearly riled and rightly so.

[Tonieke]

No...Afraid! :(

nad don't think you have to be....i don't think you can compete with Nicole Scherzinger ! ;-)

did he ever denied he cut the chicane ? nop..thought this was all about the penalty he got afterwards....

so what he says is true...they are looking for every opportunity to give him or the team a penalty lately...deserved or not..while they (FIA/ stewards ) are not always that consequent following the rules by the letter when other teams are involved !

[elinagr]

Hamilton will make sure that Kimi's championship hopes will end??
Kimi will make sure he doesnt finish the race then :D

[Tonieke]

are those Hamilton's exact words ?

I would suggest you go watch a banger race on sunday where it is allowed to take out others deliberately...

maybe he is just telling the truth ? ever looked at it that way ? ;-)

[elinagr]

yes they are here:

The Brit also accused world champion Kimi Raikkonen of lacking "the balls to brake late" in their wet weather duel and, with more rain forecast for race-day, Hamilton vowed to end the Finn's title hopes.
Raikkonen is 19 points adrift now, one more than 12 months ago when he bounced back to become surprise champion.
"That is not going to happen this year," said Hamilton. "I am going to make sure it doesn't."




I would suggest you go watch a banger race on sunday where it is allowed to take out others deliberately...


Hamilton not finishing a race will be the best

[ICKE]

HAHA!

Massa was a lot faster than Hamilton in Q3. Who's the one not driving with balls now?

:p ::p ::p :

[Big Ben]

maybe he is just telling the truth ? ever looked at it that way ? ;-)

that means he checked everyone's balls out there and I've never seen him walking around with a black eye.

p15. way to go buddy! those big balls must be touching the steering wheel :laugh:

[elinagr]

Kimi is in the better position to block hamilton and take him out

that's the tomorrow's target

According to the press conference Hamilton decided for inters in Q2? Well, I was wondering, why he was slower than everyone by 2 seconds in Q2. :p : Hamilton's self-belief is so enormous that he thought he could beat everyone on inferior tyres. :D Or he tried to prove he is the only one, who has balls to drive with inters in monsoon conditions? :D Well, this is a lesson he will remember for the rest of his life... maybe.

The strangest thing is that he was on wrong tyres and they never decided to switch back to extreme wets...

[Tonieke]

great qualifying..looking forward to tomorrows race..also think lewis made a mistake there..staying to long in he pits ! But well..we will see what the race brings...

PS: to all you out there making fun of any driver...THAT is a perfect sample of being ARROGANT....knowing if they would put any of you behind the steeringwheel of an F1 car would make you "sh@it"your pants !

where to sit??? BIG BALLS THERE YOU WILL SIT ON THEM? NO ROOM IN THE COCKPIT :p LOL

[Triumph]

All you anti-Hamilton lot out there, it's a bit early to be gloating isn't it? He's already achieved more in his short career than most others will ever achieve, which only bodes well for the future.

Lewis Hamilton has already made his mark in the motor racing history books, and there is undoubtedly a lot more to come from him yet, so you had better get used to hearing about him.

:)

[markabilly]

well given the comparative size differential between mouth, brain and balls, as said earlier, and given the fact that he manages to get his mouth inside his helmet, my big ole ass-butt ought to fit real easy in his lap. Just hope he don't get too excited, and start some of that market penetration that seems to be so important to some teams......

and speaking of balls and brakes......
Q. After that you delayed for a little while then went back out on the extreme wets. You're saying you just couldn't get the temperature in the tyres?
LH: I'd already glazed my brake on the first lap I did out and I couldn't get the temperature back into them. And I couldn't keep the temperature in the tyres.

and speaking of gloating, yes it is a bit too early to be gloating:

LH: None of those. I think over the year you get stronger and stronger, you work on your approach and you work on yourself. I'm comfortable where I am. .........
......... I've got a great car, I'm still leading the world championship and I'm the main competitor for the world championship.

Hmm,

lets' see how the race turns out tomorrow.
Qualifying determines the starting grid, It's not the race folks.
I have a sneaky suspicion a lot of you will be silent after the race tomorrow.
