Lying Lewis hamilton
The one time world champion Lewis (the liar) Hamilton threatens to quit formula one, does anyone care. He has lost the affection and support of the racing public after being caught lying to gain a few extra points at the expense of a fellow driver. Hamilton won the world championship last year in a car that even I could have won with, this year Jensen Button, a much more personable and likeable driver has the best car and he will win. There is no fun left in Formula one, best car wins full stop. The racing authorities need to look at levelling the playing field, or soon formula one will cease to attract the crowds which will in turn impact on advertising, which will hurt revenue, this in turn could lead to the demise of the sport. How things have changed in the space of 12 months, last year we were all marvelling at the "skills" of Hamilton who hit the sport like a thunderbolt, which frankly had become boring during the Schumacker years. Now with Lewis out of the picture and being dropped by sponsors as frequently as the ball by an England fielder, Formula 1 needs to shake itself up. Maybe they could all drive blindfolded.

Formula 1 needs to liven up. Last year, two proposals of mine went unanswered. Both would make the 'sport' more interesting, and level out the playing field.
ReplyDeleteMy first suggestion is that 4 pit-stops during a race are mandatory. During these pit stops, the driver MUST leave the vehicle and down three pints of Tennents Super (or Special Brew)and at least one Flaming Sambuca (during re-fuelling), before returnng to his car.
By the end of the race, the swerving and crashing will add much needed spectacle. Random breath tests will disqulify any F1 driver under the limit. This technique will ensure new blood is introduced during a season, as the more experienced drivers perish through wastage or liver damage.
My second suggestion was to make the event more 'even' Introducing speed humps and zebra crossings would 'bunch up' drivers, and make it more competitive. The spectators, who pay good money to get in, should be allowed to use such crossings freely.
On both counts I have heard nothing back from the F1 association. I for one shall no longer watch this dire 'sport'.
