The boy must learn respect, he did this to sato aswell

The British commentators are being apologists for Hammy. It is stupid to wave at another driver when passing a F1 car at speed. I can only imagine hammy, or anyone else for that matter, doing it out of frustration or anger. I don't think Hammy waves at every driver he passes - does he think he's out for a stroll in the park?

Our TV commentators also said that he does it to every driver but I didn't see it from him too.
It wasn't very nice.

Lewis should probably have aimed that frustration at himself - he'd caused his own predicament by choosing the wrong throttle map, hitting Alonso and then making a meal out of passing cars that should have been faster than him (he was spotting waving his fist at Sato this race as well).

Too much media attention is harmful too.....the camera usually follows hammy too much,,,hope the kid is aware of it the next time!!!!

As much as I want Lewis Hamilton to win the Championship, I must say the hand waving gestures are a bit odd, I wonder what was the motive behind them?

I watched Hamilton win the 2006 GP2 series with some wonderful driving, so when he entered F1 last year I was looking forward to being able to cheer him on. Sadly from Monaco on when his whinging and very clever media manipulation came to the fore I began to dislike him. His Danial O'Donnell persona makes me want to throw up,(Irish readers will know what I am saying) and as for his antics at Hungary, well I believe both drivers should have been banned from that race on the spot by McLaren. It might just have given them the shock both needed at the time.

Now this "can do no wrong" driver makes obscene gestures to drivers he is racing for position with. His Danial O'Donnell persona might be slipping a bit, but still people try to defend him. Brundle even accused Alonso of braketesting him when he ran into the back of Alonso. Hamilton is a very skilled driver, but he is not yet the next all time great. He has to win a few WDC's first. Until then he is one of a number of promising drivers who may or may not realise their potential, and as such should at least show some respect to his fellow drivers.

Hammy obviously thinks he is Ayrton Senna reborn and that when his car comes up in someone's rear view mirror, they should just pull opver and say 'Thank you'

Hammy has to get somewhere close to Ayrton's peerless and ruthless skill to get fellow drivers in F1 to do that. He's a long way from that

if he makes the same gesture every time he overtakes another car, thenn it is even worse, it shows a total lack of respect for teh whole concept of his job which is racing

Hamilton is turning into an arrogant brat. He's not gonna make many friends in the paddock with that attitude.





You think NASCAR is a gentleman's sport too?

It looks like his early success - and he was really successful - has gone to his head. A pity.

I see in the future Hammy blowing kisses as well as waving at cars that would pass him, he does have a fast drive but put him in a ForceIndia and Fisi would draw laps around him. Lewis is a pipsqueak who needs a few good lessons from the seasoned pilots.
