But the fact that he couldn;t even bring himself to use the word “mistake” is frankly unbelievable!!!! The only thing that I can think of in his favour is that in order to keep his mental attitude positive he had to put himself in a frame of mind whereby he couldn;t really admit to just what a daft mistake he’d made – otherwise all his self-confidence would crumble.

but that feels like it’s a pushing the realms of reality a bit. You’d still think the guy has to be able to realise that he’d just made a really dumb mistake and admit to that, try to work out how it happened, and then learn from it and move on.

You are right, that it’s beginning to look more and more like he’s ot very good at admitting when he’s got it wrong – although, he is rather good at looking human and showing humility when he gets it right!

It seems a little bit like Anthony Hamilton thinking he can do as good a job of managing him as a professional sports agent. I agree that I wouldn’t want to lose control either – but for him not to realise that there are other people put there with more experience, knowledge and contacts that would be useful to his son is ridiculous

I completely agree that the media are making him out to be more than he may actually be. Steve Rider and James Allen of ITV very often make me want to vomit, due to the serious brown-nosing and hero worship that they undertake at every Grand Prix weekend. I understand that it is always nice to a have your countryman fighting it out at the sharp end, but retain some perspective, please! The British press still seem to worship the ground he walks on, but inevitably the backlash will begin and Lewis will not know what hit him.

Hamilton’s arrogance and cheesy charm (should I say smarm?)can be very grating. His avoidance of accepting blame for the incident in Montreal, won’t make him any friends whatsoever (just a good kicking round the back of the pits afterwards). The Senna comparisons are also completely unjustified at this stage in his career.

If it was not for the team he currently drives for, he would be lumped in the ‘promising young driver’ category with Sutil and Rosberg, nothing more. As an Englishman, I hope he matures, has good career and I wish him well, but I’m not going to built a cathedral for him just yet.

In defense of Hamilton, I must say he is spicing up the season as nobody with his highs and lows.

He has a habit of doing something which could upset some people, only to make it worse by trying to wriggle out of it later and ending up upsetting even more people!
