Hamilton says that he only got through the anguish because of the support he received from his fans. Articles haven't yet failed to point out that Hamilton is the first black driver in Formula 1 history.
Honestly saying him being black doesn't really make an impact to me. I just see him as I see every driver in Formula 1, I don't really think he is special being black. So everytime I see an article of him complaining about how unfair it is I just think he is being whiny. Clearly he doesn't know what it is like living in Malaysia then, where the different races are being discriminated almost everyday. Just recently the Chinese and Indians were just described as "Pendatangs" which translates into "comers" in English. Isn't that more discriminating than his black make up and wigs??
Maybe I just don't know what it is like to other countries who just couldn't accept it, but Lewis Hamilton will have to shut it and get on with his driving because in his world the only language is how you drive your car. He should feel lucky that those discriminators don't go all the way down to the pits to taunt him.

Hamilton's Empayer
The 2008 F1 season has ended and everyone knows who won the title. Kimi Raikkonen has no choice but to surrender his "no.1" to his team-mate's biggest rival Lewis Hamilton. Hamilton has been arrogant but we have been wondering how he would be like when he really won the Championship, well we can wonder no more since he did win the title by one point.
It is a fact that the Brazilion GP will go down in history as one of the most exciting races in Formula 1. Few laps to the end Lewis Hamilton was being overtaken by the Torro Rosso car formerly a Minardi of Sebastien Vettel. Amazing how Vettel is daring enough to make a move when he knew that his car is not as powerful as the Mclaren, I was squizzing the pillow as I watch him did it!! Everyone thought that he was the driver to determine who the champion would be but who would have guessed that a Toyota driver was the real reason Hamilton won the championship.
Hamilton may be celebrating his victory but Timo Glock is the one who is suffering, he is going to have to endure the shine of the spotlight as Brazil's most disliked driver. I'm guessing that he has to leave the country before anyone catch up with him. What are the odds the Brazilians would be shouting to boycott Toyota for the next few years?
Hamilton will be ruling his subjects next season, this season he has clearly showed that he has no respect for any of the more senior drivers (he did so last year too when he actually dare to challenge the reighing world champion Alonso). Now that he is at the top what do you think he would treat the other drivers?
Lets see if he is going to become the 2nd Jacques Villeneuve to almost win his 1st season then did so in his 2nd season and form then on his career went downhill that he actually drop out of the sport?

Engines to last for 3 races
The FIA just said that they will want the engines for the Formula 1 cars to last for 3 races next year, I wonder how are they going to manage that? Can we expect more retirements for every race there is? I think we can.
For this year the FIA has a rule to say that all drivers can only change their engines after it has been used in 2 races. It is already a problem for the teams and drivers as they couldn't expect the car to last to the end of the race or not. I'm beginning to suspect that Massa's retirement in Hungary is because he is using his old engine and a low quality con-rod. Which reminds me of Raikkonen's car which seem to have exploded in the Valencia GP.
That's the FIA, their job is to make up silly rules like not allowing tyre change in the 05 season and no traction control for the 08 season. There are a few useful rules that came from them now and then but mostly the rules and silly.
Want to cut down costs eh? Standard engines and all that junk. I don't see them dropping the idea of the KERS, I heard that the system is of a very high cost and they are saying they are cutting down on costs...
