During his interview after winning pole. What is it about this guy that’s not likeable? I can’t work it out, but he just doesn’t come across well.
This related to last weekend's coming together with Verstappen, it was Dutch fans.During his interview after winning pole. What is it about this guy that’s not likeable? I can’t work it out, but he just doesn’t come across well.
Yep, little failed driver Horner needs to stop spouting his boss's rubbish who's still bitter about Hamilton signing for Mercedes and not his sugary drink team.Red Bull have a lot to answer for, Horner and Marko need to shut the fuck up, instead of instigating hatred.
None of this is Hamilton’s doing.
Hmmm!!There’s something about Hamilton I just don’t like.
Normally 100% behind any English/British sportsmen/woman but not him.
Those Red Bull whoppers want to listen to what Johnny Herbert had to say yesterday(ex head race official) on Sky that Silverstone was just a racing incident nothing more instead of still moaning about it and the fans booing Lewis.
I’m guessing it’s because he’s very opinionated and uses his position in Sport to elevate his opinions and ensure he’s heard?
He’s also a rank hypocrite on subjects like the environment which works against him when he becomes a bit “preachy”
Absolute garbage.Sports men and women should talk about sports and stop telling everyone how to live. Being part of F1 doesn't give you the right to lecture anyone about saving the planet or feeding the hungry.
Who does have the right then?Sports men and women should talk about sports and stop telling everyone how to live. Being part of F1 doesn't give you the right to lecture anyone about saving the planet or feeding the hungry.
It's not a sport, with that in mind he can say what he likes. By the way I don't agree with your take, politicians jump on sport when it suits them.Sports men and women should talk about sports and stop telling everyone how to live.

Because people are dicks.Why do people denigrate one of the best racing drivers we've ever had?
He's a winner and no shrinking violet is a winner.
Well done to Louis, carry on winning.
Dave, two reasons, jealousy and something else!Why do people denigrate one of the best racing drivers we've ever had?

What does give you that right then. If politicians did their job instead of feathering their own nests maybe sports people wouldn’t need to do it for them.Sports men and women should talk about sports and stop telling everyone how to live.

Absolute garbage.
I suppose you also think Marcus Rashford shouldn’t help to feed hungry kids because our government are incapable.
WTF are you wittering about now? Sometimes you need to recognise when it’s time to STFU.What's Hamilton's lack of popularity got to do with Marcus Rashford? Is Rashford a tax exile? Does he earn £10m a year and tell everyone how they should live? Does he travel around the world with the F1 circus polluting the planet?
If you've got nothing intelligent to say, it's probably best to say nowt eh?.WTF are you wittering about now? Sometimes you need to recognise when it’s time to STFU.
You said it big boy!If you've got nothing intelligent to say, it's probably best to say nowt eh?.

No, except for the Red Bull employees Coulthard and Webber, literally every single other current or former F1 driver when asked said it was a racing incident.Perhaps what Johnny Herbert thinks about it differs from others with as much experience as him ?
He was criticising new legislation in Hungary earlier this week that stops under 18's having gender reassignment procedures. I think this was one of a number of reasons why he got the bird from the locals.
He'd be much more preferable if he just drove his motorcar and stopped trying to stick his beak into every issue trying to show himself to be right on.

Brilliant race today, Verstropen losing the lead of the Championship, great little battle between Lewis and Alonso and a worthy winner, nice to see Vettel up there again as well.
Only thing wrong with that post if Herbert had been the head official at Silverstone which he's qualified for and done many many times in the past nothing would have happened to Lewis is he more wrong than a pundit who has never officiated at Grand Prix races?Perhaps what Johnny Herbert thinks about it differs from others with as much experience as him ?

Absolutely bloody missing the point with a load of long winded waffle.I don't know how a pundit who has never officiated at Grand Prix races comes into it ?
If you are referring to me, then it is very true that I have never officiated at a Grand Prix race but I have not offered an opinion on the Hamilton incident at the British GP.
I have absolutely no doubt that Johnny Herbert is everything that you say but I'm equally sure that the Red Bull team is full of experienced racing professionals.
The opinion of the professionals may differ from those of Johnny Herbert, that doesn't mean that they are right and that Herbert is wrong but even if you think Herbert is right on the matter, when did it become a crime for a team to back their own man and especially if they believe that he was wronged ?
In summary, Johnny Herbert is an experienced racing professional but his views on matters are not definitive.

FFS he's been the referee before who has made the descions not just an ex driver.
Every single person who has ever driven an F1 car round that corner in a Grand Prix agrees with him, except those employed by Red Bull.poolseasider
It might be an idea for you to calm down a little.
I am not missing the point in the slightest but it would appear that's exactly what you are doing yourself.
I made it perfectly clear, that I agreed with you in that Johnny Herbert is a very experienced and professional motor racing person.
I also explained that although he is an experienced and professional individual, that it does not mean that his opinion on this incident - or on anything else - is definitive.
Some will agree with him and some won't.
Every single person who has ever driven an F1 car round that corner in a Grand Prix agrees with him, except those employed by Red Bull.
Try and find a quote from a driver who doesn't.
Blimey, you did have a google. He's Dutch anyway so doesn't count.Lytham
A quote from Giedo van der Garde on the incident:
The analyst remembers well from his days as a Formula One driver that Verstappen's reaction was logical. "The first thing you do when you crash is feel if you are completely okay. Is everything still there? Legs okay? And then out and away." Van der Garde argues that there was only one person at fault in the incident. "My opinion is that Hamilton was the culprit."

If you want to talk about 'utter bollocks' and then just make things up you're going to look silly.That's utter bollocks as you well know.
If you are talking about the British media then yes. And as you know no driver will make a comment about it either due to cementing their existence. And Nico Rosberg has made it clear he thought Hamilton was to blame. And he's a Merc guy.
