If you are a true Formula 1 fan it will.The comparison between Ayrton Senna and Lewis Hamilton manages to be both laughable and offensive. Hamilton whispering "...sometimes I wonder whether he is with me trying to help me out..." just sounds so...so like someone who played Apollo in a driving suit suspended from a rope. I'm actually surprised his management team allowed such over the top fluffing for a driver who, while clearly talented, won the championship by default this past season.
The clip is from the FIA gala and while slickly edited and all, compared to last year's it looks forced and has some seriously lame music choices. We have nothing against girls in bikinis or even celebrities but to spend essentially all the time on the clip not spent worshiping Hamilton looks simply like overcompensation from splooging UK fanboys to us.
Compare it to what a true fan was able to come up with on his own. I say, if the Formula 1 wants to save some money, fire the producer!

You will find the clip after the JUMP
Wow, just wow........
ReplyDeleteThis is what formula one management thinks we want, no wonder the sport is falling apart.
ReplyDelete1. Senna is probably spinning in his grave right now with how this video whores out his legacy to over inflate the significance of Hamilton.
ReplyDelete2. Did Hamilton win every race this season? Did he do so with a clean record? Oh he didn't so perhaps when you make a video covering an entire season you should cover other things like Vettel's first win or BMW being on the podium with a 1-2 finish or Alonso's late season charge. Massa's the real champion this season, he had more heart and passion in this than any other driver out there.
And also - this video did a great job taking good songs and then misusing them...The F1 fan-made video was much better.
ReplyDeleteSweet Jesus ... I could only make it 34 seconds in, before I hit stop.
ReplyDeleteSomeone call up Schumacher and give him whatever he wants to come out of retirement and thump this moron.
Either that or put Vettel in a top line car.
Was that a Miley Cyrus video? Jesus Christ! Ernest Hemingway said "The only true sports are auto racing,big game fishing and mountain climbing, the rest are just games." Good thing he never saw this clip.
ReplyDeleteIt would probably be cooler if Hamilton didn't squeal like a 12 year old girl
ReplyDeleteWhy all the abuse? Surely Leo sayers appearance was far more disturbing.

No but did Senna ? ever? Nope
This was in very bad taste, especially if it was an official production.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Senna's estate should sue the shit out of someone.

Hamilton nearly lost the championship by default! Massa gained 14 points over the season via steward decisions. I'm a Fisichella fan and I'm glad Hamilton won the championship. Massa got sooo many decisions go his way.
ReplyDeleteOver a month and the haters are still whining. Man it's great that Hamilton won to see you guys come up with excuses. Oh - wait - was that Massa conceding a position in 07 to give kimi a win "by default".
ReplyDelete...naaaaaahhhhhh ;)
How presumptuous to call the other guys here haters. They're fans of the sport too, and they respect other people's viewpoint too. Besides, it sounds like Mr. Anonymous here seems to be having a bit of a while himself.
ReplyDeleteAnd Massa giving way to Kimi? Sheesh, Moss gave way to Fangio back in the day. Didn't make him any less of a driver.
Thank you "Anonymous" for the kind words... Conveniently you forgot how Heikki conceded his position to Hamilton in Germany.
ReplyDeleteI take it you agree then that the Senna/Hamilton montage is both appropriate and tasteful? as is ignoring every other winner of 08? Kubica, Vettel, Alonso, Raikkonen....
To what AC said, that's exactly my point. Whoever made this video seems to have forgotten that other people raced during the 2008 BESIDES Hamilton. I'm a BMW-Sauber fan and while they only ranked third in the Constructor's series, it would have been to nice to have seen them acknowledged more or the fact that Vettel, one of the youngest drivers in the history of the sport, won at Monza.
ReplyDeleteIs Hamilton a very talented driver? Yes. Is he like Senna just because they both won in a McLaren and had talent? No. It's annoying to have the Brits gush over Hamilton as if he's the unbeatable messiah of F1. I can understand national pride but take it down a notch or two.
Just leave the poor Senna soul alone f***rs ...

At least they're not comparing Hamilton to Nuvolari -- then I'd have to buy a ticket to the UK and really cause a ruckus.
