Has Jackie ever recorded any music? I’m hoping for something really obscure like he was backing vocals on Mull of Kintyre or something.

I was referring to Lewis. There is a little joke going round that he sometimes acts like an American rapper.

There is no malice in this. As being an American isn’t a bad thing, this isn’t an insult. Just as it isn’t an insult to refer to Jackie Stewart as always wearing tartan. It’s just being silly. I don’t feel the need to have to give a disclaimer in every post that he is a decent guy and a brilliant driver, as it is clear. Although I have seen sometimes you can get thinely veiled attacks towards yourself if you don’t. This did upset me initially as it was unjust.

As we are now taking about the Sex Pistols I think you can see that this thread isn’t taking itself too seriously. It’s the off season.

We’re both worse people for me having to explain this.

I’m sure that if this line of discussion continues you can get the thread closed, which would be a shame.

I'll have a drink for Lewis, although it's a shame I can't get "Larkins" down here ! Incidentally he did fly in to my local airport in Almeria the other day but he didn't have time to pop in and see me

I'm disappointed he's not rocking the Scottish look.

It's a shame you didn't get to have a drink with him. It'd be fun to have a beer with him

Ah, my bad, as they say. I didn't realise that was still a joke - thought it had worn so thin as to have disappeared by now

Actually I'm more concerned that the off season is so quiet for some folk. I'm desperately trying to work out how to cram raising the budget for next season's events, building two new race cars and having a month abroad all into 4 months

I got over that by breaking the cars early on, which gave me an extra half a year to achieve that.

It'll be interesting to see how it unfolds.

Just more musings from Hamilton, but he mentioned 2020. I don't think there is much in that, but hey, he'd not giving it up soon.

I am not going to mention his top in the video. I suspect it is some kind of joke.

Was he "On Duty" for the team or was it a personal appearance?

Also if Mercedes are changing (lesser) sponsors in the new year then there wouldn't be new kit especially if those sponsors haven't been announced yet.

Exactly. I'm sure the contract between Merc and LH will detail when and where 'team kit' is required. But, it's another excuse for some to have a pop......

It's interesting that LH didn't get in the top 3. F1 drivers used to always win when they were champ. I guess he polarises opinion.

Fair play to Jonathan Rae, not often bikers get nominated let alone recognised, on line campaign or not.

I guess it was a lot down to VAT and a plane....which would be somewhat ironic as a tax exile, living in America who didn’t turn up for the awards won.

Yeh good on Johnny Rea...he got my vote too

Bearing mind the reach of the BBC and how much SPOTY is promoted by them across their channels and publications, for Mo Farah to win with a total of 83,000 votes doesn't seem a lot to me and shows perhaps there isn't actually a lot of interest in it now as an award?

You have to take into consideration whether a lot of people actually saw the events over the year that the nominee had success in. Unless you have BT And Sky sports channels, the chances are you didn't.
Because of that, whilst SPOTY is still prestigious the BBC have become less relevant in sports.

It's not a programme I've watched for a few years and I can't remember when I did watch it last, who won. Mo Farah won with 83,524 votes. Jonathan Rea got 80,567, third place Jonnie Peacock got 73,429 votes. I take it that those are the public's votes?

Yes - It would have been a travesty if Mo Farah did not win IMO.

As for Hamilton - I can hardly remember a single interview after a race win when he has not praised his team. Perhaps those on here slating him missed those dozens and dozens of interviews over the last few years?
