		<description>It&#039;s true Penguin.

They approached our postie, Leroy.  They said that controlling the 200mph car wouldn&#039;t be a problem. The could do it all remotely with string and elastic bands. Amazing, don&#039;t you think?

Turns out Lewis Hamilton had been with Maclaren since he was THIRTEEN, so Ecclestone thought maybe he was more credible.

Leroy was gutted. Said he fancied a pad in Monaco like Schumacher. Still, I heard the ratings for crown-green bowling are in the doldrums, so maybe they need the black-factor too?</description>

		<description>Please don&#039;t take this the wrong way but here&#039;s a good guide to conversing on this site.

Don&#039;t use pseudo names that are at the level of schoolboy humour or one nicked from a stalker from Alan Partridge, it just sounds silly and slighty worrying.  Pseudo names are quite acceptable but please use another that doesn&#039;t fall into these two categories, it either makes you look silly or slightly worrying.

I appreciate a good dialogue, don&#039;t mind agreeing or disagreeing with people but if you are going to bring a point of view to the table then back it up.  Saying you&#039;re not going to go into facts and figures is a cop out because the only impression it gives is that you either haven&#039;t done any research, are expressing an opinion on the basis of no credible evidence or are simply a bit of a nutter.

Like I said before I don&#039;t do conspiracy theories so here&#039;s my interpretation of events this season.  No it&#039;s not some wild conspiracy orchestrated by Bernie to save Formula 1 which involves all the other teams activiely allowing Lewis Hamilton to win.  It is simply that Lewis Hamilton was lucky although I&#039;d say deservedly so given his immense talent to get a drive for one of the top teams.  That team have quite obviously come into this season with the best car or so it looks this far in.  On that basis the combination of his talent and having the best car means he&#039;s going to beat the rest of the field leaving only his team mate as credible opposition.  His team mate is a very talented but flawed driver.  Hamilton has simply been cooler, tested more and adapted better than he has.  He&#039;s been more consistant in his driving and that&#039;s why he&#039;s leading the Driver&#039;s World Championship.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not going to go into facts and figures as I will be here for ages....

but with a increasingly decline in viewers and fans alike ... Bernie had to do something drastic to pull in more sponsors, viewers etc...

He ultimatley wanted to create the Tiger Woods of F1.

To put it in a nutshell... Other teams are letting Lewis Hamilton win for the longevity of F1.</description>
