Hehe! This is gonna get someone's goat up lol

fully agree manx
-- they did act like a couple of nancy boys - seems to be in keeping with some of the current generation of current drivers --

Quel surprise

I just want people to be consistent. If you call out one driver for something then surely you have to call out the others for the same thing.

If you do not we can postulate the following;

1) You are biased against the driver
2) You are dishonest in your views

Seemed to me in there interviews they where both a little embarrassed and tried to laugh it off. Fairplay in the heat of battle. Great driving from both. Alonso is such a meister

It was good fun, sounded like two kids who didn't get what they wanted.

MA, which current generation of current drivers are you referring to? You reffered to drivers plural so don't go picking just one.

I personally have no issues with drivers being aholes on the radio in the heat of the moment. Some seem to think they should abide by some code of conduct but tend to apply this code to only one driver.

The point being if it was Hamilton on the radio, people would have created articles and riddled them with comments about how immature he was.

The silence is deafening and very telling that Hamilton is judged differently to other drivers

I've heard Alonso and Vettel worse though but not together at the same time

Later he will be criticised for not getting in touch with his roots

If I hadn't been so busy the last couple of days I would've put something up myself.

Honestly that was probably the most annoying thing I've ever had to listen to during an F1 race.

And I fully agree, it winds me up how some drivers, like Hamilton as you said, are constantly called out on it while these two are constantly given a free pass despite the fact that they are probably the worst offenders.

Nail on head

""The silence is deafening and very telling that Hamilton is judged differently to other drivers""
Yes and they will all come up with deceitful, evasive and dishonest "reasons". But we all know why. If you want o see how Hamilton s treated differently just remember when Massa turned in on him at the Station Hairpin in Monaco. Massa left a gap you could get an aircraft carrier into, Hamilton saw Massa dozing in the sun and went for the gap. Massa thought, "Oh, I say, I appear to have made some sort of jolly little error here, I must cover it up". And turned straight in on Hamilton thus causing a collision. Who got punished?(Punished... Punished, how Mosley loved that word)

It sounded to me like Hamilton shouted, "England" after the race win. Personally I don't see anything cringeworthy in patriotic pride, all other drivers show it. Why shouldn't the English? Indeed, it is an important element in INTER-NATIONAL motor racing, thus, "Motor racing between Nations". I am glad for any race an English driver wins.

Did anyone complain when DC appeared in F1 sporting a Scottish Saltire as his helmet colour and kept it that way for his entire F1 career. Yet one little outburst of English patriotism brings out comments like 'cringeworthy'.
