I don't think this business has done him any favors, he did not do well in qualifying.

Australia would be one of the least racist nations there is. But if you want to come over and bring your crap with you, you'll cop a serve.
Nearly every one of the Indian student attacks were done by fellow Indians, but you won't read about that will you. People need to stop playing the race card, it's old and tired, and just isn't true. |

Haha, people believe everything they read.
The Police van was waiting for a set of lights to change when Hamilton decided to smoke the bags. But lets face it that's far less interesting isn't it than them following him and waiting for him to do something wrong. They interviewed the officer who issued the ticket, who said Lewis was more than pleasant and cooperated just fine. Wrong place wrong time, that's all. |

Man executes naughty maneuver on public highway. Police see it. Police collar man and give him a ticket. Man goes on his way.
Nothing to see here. |

Are they?
Either way, my point was that people are reading too much into the actions of the Australian police. I reckon it's fairly likely that Hamilton would've more received the same treatment if he was a non-famous, caucasian Aussie in a rubbish car. |

It's because of who he is and it makes better copy than a strike by BA cabin crew.

PS, Wasn't a van, it was a TMU sedan. Any person, in any car that did they same thing was getting pulled over. I would also hazard a guess, the members might have let him off had camera's not been all over them (and if they had, they would be getting criticised for giving special treatment). Quote:
It is a charge (not a ticket), but a minor one which will result in a fine. Lewis may not be able to drive in Victoria for a couple of months, but I dont think that will be an issue March 2011! Storm in a teacup. |

Can't see the big deal in all this
We are not talking about a boy racer chav here we are talking about probably the best driver on the planet there was never any risk to anyone or danger to public safety Will his behaviour encourage others to do it ? course not, let Lewis have his fun |

But he's not above the law just because he's a better driver. And it may not actively encourage others to do it but it's hardly going to send out the message he's been sending out as part of the FIA's road safety campaign

Sure. But he's human too, and he has failures like any other. He wasn't caught doing something that really would be shameful to people eyes like we're used to see with other personalities everyday. It's not like people will see that and follow his manners.

Another story has just emerged that a police officer in Abu Dhabi saw Lewis doing a wheelie as he left the race circuit after qualifying. It now appears he has been leading a double life in the eyes of the public, famous racing driver on the weekends and promoting the road safety message that the now PC FIA has taken on, but the reality is he is just a regular hoon when he dons his civvies .
![]() And police are still investigating the mysterious incident where he crashed his Mercedes ML500 SUV into a tree outside the front of his house in Monaco at 2.00 am a couple of weeks, ago, following an argument with his GF, allegedly!..... ![]() |

But of course being an Aussie your going to try and deny that as your country and its credibility is on the line. Fact is many white Aussies cannot stand anyone with colour. Having worked with Aussies here in London, I have witnessed it myself is how they react to ethnic colleagues and how they behave and talk about London and its many ethnicities. |

Anyway - this is about a fool that got caught doing something he was supposedly promoting a road safety message for his principle 'employers'. |
