Amazing. I also loved Sato's pass on Alonso.

Whats the craic with ITV's coverage. Bloody Corrie St!!!
Absolutely disgraceful - It shows how little respect ITV have for F1. The sooner Bernie takes it off them the better. |

I agree it is standard - that is what pisses me off. It is a great opportunity missed by ITV - a senior exec should have made a decision and delayed corporation street by 15 mins. By having 15 mins of interviews celebrating the first win of the "celebrity" (and great driver) LH they would have gained more viewers, who would have been pulled in to watch the primetime coverage next week from the US. There advertising rates would have gone though the roof (they still will but in-spite of ITV's efforts not because of them) They spent that whole of the race coverage giving the most basic commentary so as to lure new viewers in, they get the result they wanted most and celebrated the fact by chopping any celebration of it. One of the most short sighted media decisions ever. And of many ITV F1 directorial decisions which make them look ridiculous (the adverts in the last two laps of a race that was actually interesting ). |

All through the race we had 'it was a question of when rather than if the safety car came out'. It wouldnt have taken a genius to add that to the fact the bloke was on poe to think probablt best to give ourselves a bit of cover. It's usually pretty rushed at the end usually anyway so I'm sure they could have padded if need be.
Plus Corrie street fans are exactly going to turn over and not come back to watch it - they have nothing else to do.
People now have to stay up until about 3am to watch the highlights of the race to see the interviews. Not good.

My guess would be Corrie fans are more important to ITV than F1 fans.... |

It was on the news the other day that he is expected to earn more than Schumacher has in his career. MS earned an estimated £520 million. That's not $, it is actually pounds  . The PR guy said there are many things in LH favour in terms of potential sponsors, his nice guy image being one. Also the fact he is black and young also make him marketable |

Ok perhaps im wrong as this is only what i have heard lately but i heard he has been spoon fed by his old man all the way through his career and alonso claims he is getting a lot of preferential treatment in the camp because he is a british driver in a british team. Alonso jealous? maybe, but there is usually a hint of truth. Its not that hard to be the best, or at least be up with the runners when you have been given the best since about the age of 12. Feel free to rip this post to shreds. |

His old man was working 3 jobs to try and fund his sons kart racing ...
Until he was ten Lewis lived with his mother; after that he lived with his father, step-mother and half-brother[6] Nicholas who suffers from cerebral palsy. At six, he began his racing career when Anthony bought Lewis his first go-kart. He held down three jobs to support Lewis' career and still found enough time to attend all of Lewis' races.[6] When he was nine, Lewis approached Ron Dennis and told him, "I'm going to race for you one day...I'm going to race for McLaren", and at the age of eleven he was signed to McLaren's development programme,[6] whilst still attending The John Henry Newman School. In early 2007, Hamilton moved from Tewin Wood in Hertfordshire to Woking in Surrey to be closer to the McLaren factory.
