Post by: Walrusbonzo on January 19, 2009, 19:12:19 PM
As my place of work was recently taken over by Santander we have the honour of having Lewis Hamilton visiting on Thursday for Q&A session.

Im one of the lucky handful to have secured a place!

I cant wait :D

Any good question ideas?

Whats it like to have become #1 by not winning the final race?

(yes, you can tell I dont really care much for car sports, but its a genuine question. To me its kinda like winning the 100m as you did well in the heats but only came 3rd in the finals...)

Ask something that isnt the along with the rest of bandwagon, you get to see people who they really are when you put them under pressure.

Ask how he can claim he is proud to be british when he tax benefiting by living in switzerland.
Ask how much of a victory does he feel winning the championship by one point and having less race wins is and if he is going to dominate in another contreversial year.

TBH, Ive too much respect for the guy to ask him a question to make him squirm.

Id rather ask him something funny, that might actually get a decent answer.

Hes an arrogant prick with double standards and cant follow basic rules at times.  

A bloody talented prick, but hes not worthy of anyones praise or respect at this point in his career.

Ask him a serious question or question him as a person and youll get the typicall media trained "well thats my opinion" BS.

Dont worry, Bernie is fixing that so that never happens ever again.  Besides Hamilton was more consistent over the season and thus earned more points than Massa.  If Bernie wants to take it that way then the scoring system should be as follows:
1st.  1 point
The rest.  0 points.
Same for the manufacturers table.

You could ask him about F1 in general and its questioned existence as it is in the current financial market, and what is he (and McLaren) doing to improve that.  Also, any parting message for Ron Dennis?  And a welcome return to F1 on the BBC with Murray Walker?
How did he feel losing out to Chris Hoy as sports personality of the year?

Asking him how he feels about the constantly changing rules might bring out an interesting answer.

Ask him why the English always mistake confidence for arrogance and as a result are the only nation on the planet that constantly hates its heroes and puts down its winners......

Aside from that Id ask him how much faith he held in the telemetry when he still hadnt passed Glock by turn 12 at Interlagos.....

Sorry dudes.

Ok, he came to my work place, media were there.  He was greeted at the entrance by a few hundred.  Then about 300 got in to see him for the Q&A.  I was there, didnt ask a question, but it was very entertaining.

Glad I went.  Not much else to say.
