Lewis Hamilton - phwoar!
by loiswakeman @ 22/06/2007 - 15:28:16

Heard on the BBC1 teatime news programme yesterday:

Female interviewer to Lewis Hamilton: "Young, good-looking and single - the girls must be throwing themselves at you - how do you cope?"

Talk about double standards. If a similar question had been asked of a female sports celebrity, you can be pretty sure the feminists would be jumping up and down saying "what sort of a question is that?". And if I were Lewis, I'd be sorely tempted to punch the interviewer squarely on the nose, 'lady' notwithstanding.

And anyway - what were they thinking of, asking Hello-style questions that have nothing whatsoever to do with news in any commonly-accepted sense? This is what I pay my TV licence for - aaaaargh.

Sounds more like she was making a personal proposal!

Lewis is a nice, well-mannered (so far) young man who currently has his head on his shoulders and long may it remain there. As for the ridiculous media, I think you've summed it up.

I wish I could say "What is Hello magazine?" Unfortunately I once found myself visiting an educational establishment (I won't say which) with no other reading matter in the staff room once you had finished the notice boards including the timetables and health and safety notices.

How depressing - my only contact with that august title is waiting to have my teeth seen to, along with aged copies of Country Life, Yachting Monthly etc. Next time, take the cornflakes packet with you and you will have some more interesting literature to read!

You watch Louis start losing now he is a big celebrity. David Coultard? Jenson Button? They were going to be the next big challenge in F1. Give the boys the big toys and their eye soon goes off the ball

I think he has done rather better than either, so far in his career. He seems to be a very unassuming young man from what little I have seen of him, so I hope he has the sense to ignore the celebrity stuff and concentrate on what he's good at.

Being British doesn't automatically mean you have to be a loser, though to see the common reactions to successful people you might wonder.
