So everyone who doesn't bang on about climate change isn't a cunt. I've never heard Piers Morgan or Jeremy Clarkson go on about it, so does that rule them out as well

?? I don't know who those people are. I'm talking about Lewis.

We are talking about what qualifies people being a cunt. You said Hamilton wasn't one because he doesn't bang on about climate change. I was just giving a couple of examples why that doesn't necessarily rule people out of being one.

Err, Hamilton has recently been banging on about it: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f ... 0#p1394157

A lot of the replies there seem to think it's more about the state of the world now.

And, Zambo. Did you not read Stevie Hunt's post in the 'Climate protestors' thread today about Clarkson: https://talkforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f ... 5#p1402765

Well that's what the label says for his pretend nationality, but your real nationality is created when and where you are born.

That’s a decent list, especially the NZ rugby player

Tiger for me.

You don't like Hamilton do you?

What's the bloke in the picture got to do with it, is he up for it again this year. 'The rest' meant those in the frame for 2019.

I'm no fan of F1 because it doesn't do much for me as an actual spectacle but it is a formidable sport in every other way including the stresses drivers have to endure and the fitness they have to acquire to enable driving in around a two hour race consistently up to and over 200mph. To reduce the sport to just "sat in a fucking car" is just silly, F1 pilots have to be supremely fit, skilled and talented in what is an extremely competitive world sport.
Like or loathe Hamilton's public persona he's an English born multi world champion in a sport that the UK is as a whole rather successful at. Damon Hill (above pic) and Nigel Mansell were singular World Champions, dull as shit but adored and won SPoY, Hamilton is now a six times world champion and has therefore surpassed their achievements by a country mile and without the benefit of privilege (Hill) so he really should be adored but clearly isn't.
