From what we know of him, Hamilton does not share Senna's propensity for seeing his role in a near-mystical light. He prefers to keep his wheels on the ground, with an attitude more reminiscent of that displayed by Schumacher during the German's period of total dominance. There are signs that Hamilton inherited from both men the view that any tactic, from the borderline unchivalrous to the downright illegitimate, justifies victory, for the simple reason that, according to their logic, it confirms the natural order of things.
When Robert Kubica criticised Hamilton's approach last week, he was probably not expecting to see such instant and vivid evidence in support of his words. "There are differences of philosophies," the Polish driver said. "Either you drive hard but fair or you are overconfident." He went on to make a specific criticism of the English driver's tactics at Monza last month. Hamilton rejected the accusation, but on Sunday his behaviour as he refused to accept the consequences of a poor start showed that Kubica's comments were not merely an example of the usual mind games.
Lewis Hamilton’s F1 feuds: Nico Rosberg is not the only one
Lewis Hamilton has form when it comes to falling into spats with other F1 drivers, whether on his constructor’s team or not
[Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg in Monaco; strained relations are not unusual in Hamilton's career]
Fernando Alonso McLaren 2007
Hamilton showed his ego could be a match for anyone in his debut season, when he felt he should have been McLaren’s senior driver ahead of the reigning double world champion, Fernando Alonso. He ignored team orders to let Alonso pass him in qualifying in Hungary that season, which led to Alonso blocking Hamilton in the pits in revenge.
Felipe Massa Ferrari 2011
Hamilton and Massa, whom the English driver had pipped to the 2008 world title, were both trailing in the wake of Sebastian Vettel, but turned to competing against each other and had six collisions during the season. Hamilton was widely thought to be at fault on the majority of occasions.
Adrian Sutil Force India 2011
Sutil was not only one of Hamilton’s rivals in Formula Three but also Hamilton’s best friend. That relationship quickly soured when Sutil appeared in court, charged with assaulting Renault F1’s chief executive, Eric Lux, and Hamilton refused to appear as a witness. Sutil labelled his former friend “a coward”.
Jenson Button McLaren 2012
With McLaren challenging Red Bull for the Constructors’ Championship title in 2012, the team needed both of their drivers to work together, but the campaign was disrupted when Hamilton wrongly accused Button of unfollowing him on Twitter. “I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn’t,” posted Hamilton on the networking site, before realising that Button did not follow him in the first place, and later apologising.

he's been fantastic ... it's an Alonso-esque performance so far: making what's clearly not the 2nd best car in the sport look like the only challenger to the clear frontrunners ... plus, he's the nice guy everyone likes ...Mus;3743124 said:Danny!
it's hard to compete with the Mercedes powertrain this year ... at least Adrian Newey doesn't leave till 2016 ...Alex;3743254 said:I'm worried Red Bull will drift away now, and become another Williams or McLaren, "also ran", team
And the best part about it all is he's beating Vettel at every stage along the way...Showing him up to be the overrated driver (and luckiest 4 x world champion) in the world!Xifio;3744952 said:he's been fantastic ... it's an Alonso-esque performance so far: making what's clearly not the 2nd best car in the sport look like the only challenger to the clear frontrunners ... plus, he's the nice guy everyone likes ...

Williams (in their stylish Martini livery) are also-rans only because they don't have better drivers ... their engine supplier makes them the only car that can challenge the Mercedes works team for pace ... McLaren *are* crap, I'll give you that; but they've managed to sign Fernando, so they must have something up their sleeve for next year ...

McLaren and Williams dominated Ferrari late 80s, early 90s when the F40 was at its prime....
AND 84 was the year the Testarossa was released...it so happens 83 was the final year of Ferrari winning 6/9 constructors championships before going on a dry spell for 15 years! Basically they didn't start winning again until they stopped selling the F50...
“Young kids will see the Rolex brand but are they going to go and buy one? They can’t afford it. Or our other sponsor UBS – these kids don’t care about banking. They haven’t got enough money to put in the bloody banks anyway. That’s what I think,” he said.
“I don’t know why people want to get to the so-called young generation. Why do they want to do that? Is it to sell them something? Most of these kids haven’t got any money. I’d rather get to the 70-year-old guy who’s got plenty of cash.
