What and provide the same level of biased insight as you can be prone to? Although less in this entry, I must confess, your usual anti-Hamilton bias does you no justice. How about treating the sport leass like a soap opera and more like the sporting spectacle that it is. The real interest is what happens on the track. Is Hamilton in a weird head-space right now. Of course. Is he losing his grip on reality if he has to bleat on about his private life when most of us would kill to be in his shoes? Of course. <br />That said, I'd imagine that most of the readers of this site would rather concentrate on the Quali and racing.....I am actually a Hamilton fan. I love his racing (I'll happily sit through his off-form races for the ones that remind me why I love F1). Does he have some growing up to do? Undoubtedly, however, I look forward to each time he gets in the car as there is the chance of seeing something a little special.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-9244837244010705622011-11-14T13:24:42.245-05:002011-11-14T13:24:42.245-05:00Boring race for the most part.
