Most people with an interest in F1 orbit hamilton either negatively or positively.
The white middle class "chap", retirees cast scourn upon him because (at least one ) generation gap, and they reckon with a touch more cash, they might have been Button. But he got done by Hamilton in 2 of their 3 seasons together, and constantly taken to the cleaners in qualy, so Ham has work to do in that demographic.
Luckily, ham is quite unpredictable on the track, exciting to watch, and far less corporate than the rest, and so his fans outnumber the others, even reaching outside of f1...

I think hamilton gets so many bytes as he's one of the best drivers of our time, plus he's british and it's a british forum. german forums probably had similar with schumacher, spanish for alonso etc. There won't be a direct compare for each generation, hamiltons the most exciting british driver probably since mansell

Jim Clark Jackie Stewart would of been popular and Senna and mantel no one from mid 90s don't. Think hakkinen dc schumi Irvine or barrichello were they type of people Montoya could of been if things played out differently
I wonder if there was much "what if" back in the day regarding how Stewart would fare if Clark were still racing him?glazbagun said:
