In the latest barb in the mind games, in an interview with the BBC Sport, Hamilton claims he has "more talent" and has "the edge and sheer "ability" over teammate Nico Rosberg. "That is the gift I have," says Hamilton.

The key moments from the second part of the interview, Hamilton says boxer Muhammad Ali inspires him.

So, in Hamilton's "no holds barred" interview in what is one of the most delusional interviews ever - Hamilton claims he is deliberately letting Nico get ahead in the championship because he thinks, it gives him an advantage?

Hamilton will never rattle Rosberg - Nico is professional, smart, and strong minded, and consistently focused.

Here is the starting lineup for Sunday's British Grand Prix - Notice where the Brits 'hometown' boy starts:

I seem to never get the US network right!

I woke up late - Of course Ham is running second - Mercedes are hard to beat

Rosberg leading!

Dylan 07-06-2014 07:26 AM

FYI:

Tyres (Pirelli rubber)
Super Soft Tyres - Red (sidewall)
Soft Tyres - Yellow (sidewall)
Medium Tyres - White (sidewall)
Hard Tyres - Orange (sidewall)
Wet Tyres - Blue (sidewall)
Wet Tyres - Green Intermediates (sidewall)

Shunt (crash)!

F1 cars have a limited fuel allowance each race - 36 gallons per race.

Hammy is great at saving fuel but very hard on tyres.

Leaders (teammates) always pits first especially with Mercedes.

Hope Mercedes hires Fernando Alonso at the end of the season and fires Hamilton - Well, unless Hammy wins the championship.

Alonso drives for Ferrari - However, Ferrari cars have been awful for the past 10 years.

Dylan 07-06-2014 07:45 AM

Wow...4.1 seconds for Hammy's pit stop for tyres... It should be 3 seconds and under. He changed to hard tires (orange sidewalls).

Teams use the same pit crew for both teammates.

Rosberg's pit stop earlier - 2.7 seconds.

Edit: Hammy must be cursing out Mercedes over the radio ... He is known to do that - the reason Merc they will get rid of him as soon as they can - hopefully. Who knows, Merc may still get rid of him - Hammy is bad for their image. In fact, he has been bad for every team he worked for.

OMG Nico has gear box problems - Hammy takes the lead..................And the Brits go wild.

EDIT: Nico is out (retired) of the race... Click goes the TV....j/k

Freakin' Merc... Hope the same happens to Hammy's car.

Edit: Come on Ricciardo, Bottas or Alonso! I like Ricciardo a lot. - Young talented aggressive driver.

Valtteri Bottas (Finnish) is very good and another young driver ( I think he is 24 years old) I also like him a lot.

Dylan 07-06-2014 08:25 AM

Wow what a fight between two champs - Alonso and Vittel! Wheel to wheel - very dangerous...

DRS: Drag Reduction System - It improves the overtaking of cars. Drivers are free to activate the DRS within the designated DRS zones. However, they may only activate it if they are 1 second behind a car. As soon as the driver uses the breaks or releases the button, it deactivates the system.


Edit: WTF - An Emergency Alert Test issued on TV at the end of the race? I missed the last lap!

J.C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dylan 07-06-2014 08:38 AM

The bastard wins Silverstone, Great Britain Grand Prix

Bottas 2nd

Ricciardo 3rd

Driver of the race - Alonso! He is the best driver on the track. Every race!

Merc has some explaining to do for cryinoutloud!

Feel bad for Massa - taken out of the race by Kimi -- broken ankle or bruise?

Listen to the Brits!

A round of fish and chips for everyone!

Dylan 07-06-2014 09:04 AM

Get up! Throw some water on your face! Put on your ripped tee-shirt and dirty jeans.

It's Daytona -

Turn on TNT

The rednecks' race is about to go green!

Bugeater 07-06-2014 09:28 AM

Sweet, they managed to get 7 whole laps in before it started raining again.

Great news. :banghead:

I guess the racing Gods do not want me to see a Daytona race this year.

mikey23545 07-06-2014 09:48 AM

**** this race.

My shop is about a mile from the track, and it had already destroyed business on Friday and Saturday. Now it's managing to do it on Sunday when all these bastards were supposed to already be out of town.

Pepe Silvia 07-06-2014 09:52 AM

I know Daytona is an awesome track but it rains too damn much in florida. I had a feeling it would be raining AGAIN yesterday.
