How does a bloke become a "show pony" when he wins the Championship 7 times and gets beaten by a whisker (almost certainly as a consequence of dodgy officiating) going for his 8th?

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

just his style i guess

Aw come on P4S, you've seen the get ups and heard the carry on, speaks for itself.

[Pies4shaw]

I actually haven't, Skids. I don't follow the F1 - I was reading between the lines of the press reports and looking at his career record, so this was a genuine question from me. I was contemplating his achievements in the context of somebody like Tom Brady, who has won 7 Super Bowls. I don't barrack for Brady's team (or for his former team) but its hard not to admire the sheer brilliance.

[Skids]

True P4S, there's no arguing his talent behind the wheel. Having said that, he does drive the 'fastest' car. If he would have had the same success driving for another team is something we'll never know.

Have a look at some of the get ups in this link for a bit of an idea on where my 'show pony' reference came from. I, like many, just don't like the man. I don't like Connor McGregor either, we all have our different opinions on who we like and dislike. I like Toby Greene, so what's my opinion worth anyway

Mercedes dropped their appeal...

But Toto told the media Hamilton will be scarred for life. Way OTT...
