Have McLaren banned Lewis Hamilton from Twitter?

He may be a bit behind the times but Lewis Hamilton has finally discovered Twitter. Sadly though, he, McLaren’s PR department and all lovers of the English language probably wish he hadn’t.

On his Twitter account @IamLewis4Real the former world champion… descended into full on ‘gangsta’ mode, Tweeting such gems as; “Sup guys. I’m in NYC on the set of MIB3 watchin my girl. This is by far one of the koolest things I’ve seen. Frickin crazy!” and “Wish I cud show u a pic but security is standin by to jack my phone…lol”.

As might be expected, many followers decided to take the mickey out of this faux street talk, which resulted in a stroppy Lewis saying “F*** You” to about 56,000 people on Tuesday night, only he used the word in its full glory, not with the blush sparing little stars we used.

Subsequently Lewis has disappeared from Twitter, no doubt keeping a low profile, though you can follow instead, @ImLewis4Real his very sweary and much funnier alter ego…

Lewis Hamilton – Diamond Geezer

Pounding around Monaco with a diamond encrusted steering wheel has obviously had an affect on Lewis Hamilton as he has turned up in Turkey sporting a large pair of diamond earrings.

It wasn’t that long ago that Force India’s Vitantonio Liuzzi… had to remove his eyebrow ring as it was deemed to be in contravention of rule 2.2.1 of the sporting regulations banning piercings and necklaces on safety grounds, plus they said it made him look like a twat.

However, there seem to be no such concern’s over Lewis turning into the motoring equivalent of Puff Daddy though the earrings are expected to be removed before qualifying as the weight of them is said to cost more than a tenth of a second a lap.

Lewis Hamilton outrages Australia….again.

Lewis Hamilton’s dire weekend in Australia finished in the worst possible style in a Melbourne restaurant on Sunday night, when the hapless McLaren man announced to all present that he hated Aborigines.

The shocked waiter pointed out that speaking of native… Australians in this manner was inflammatory behaviour and more than likely to involve yet another run in with the rozzer’s but Hamilton was not to be stopped, taking one look at the menu he said; “I hate Aborigines, they make me sick.”

It was at this point that a McLaren minder stepped in and told Lewis that the word he was actually looking for was in fact aubergines.

Dickhead calls Hamilton a nasty name

Tim Pallas is the Minister of Roads in Victoria, Australia and he is a politician of such tact and finesse that he makes our own John Prescott look half competent. Pallas (pictured) is behind a new road safety campaign called… ‘Don’t Be a Dickhead’ aimed at stopping people from ploughing their cars into kangaroo’s while on their mobile ‘phones.

Interviewed on 3AW Radio, the Minister called Lewis ‘a dickhead’ for performing burnouts in his Mercedes road car on the eve of the Australian Grand Prix.

We’re not sure who the biggest dickhead is in this sorry tale. Hamilton, Pallas or the people of Victoria, who voted such an attention seeking, moronic man into public office.

Hamilton in trouble Down Under….again

Lewis Hamilton had his AMG Mercedes company car impounded today, after being stopped by the boys in blue for performing a burnout on a public road outside the Melbourne track.

Hamilton realised he was in trouble when he could find nobody… around from McLaren middle management to tell him how to fib his way out of things.

Lewis had no option but to confess and admit he had been driving in an “over-exuberant manner” which translates into Australian as “driving like a twat”.

Hamilton, 16, is expected to make another tearful statement at the press conference for the Malaysian Grand Prix where he will tell us he is only human and will be a stronger person after this mistake.

F1 gets the heavy metal treatment!

There are some things the Germans are good at, efficiency, making high quality and reliable products, penalty shoot outs and invading neighbouring countries but it has to be said, with the possible exception of Nena and her 99 Red Balloons… that music is not one of them.

Now, all that is about to change with the release by J R Blackmore, son of Deep Purple and Rainbow legend, Ritchie, of a new single ‘Silver Arrows (Racing On), a tribute to the new Mercedes F1 team.

You can hear 1 minute 49 seconds of metal F1 mayhem on the bands website, it feels like a really long 1 minute 49 seconds but you’ll love it.

We particularly liked the reference in the lyrics (see below) to ‘Englands Black Pearl’ by which we assume they mean Lewis Hamilton and ‘From Monte Carlo to the green, green hell’ which can only be Silverstone.

Rock on!

SILVER ARROWS (RACING ON)

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

The silver story born in 34

And golden Rudi ruled until the war

In the fifties the Maestro won

Good-bye Grand Prix, still the legend lives on

The engines scream, you can feel the power

225 miles an hour

The crowd goes wild around the track

Shout it out loud: The star is back – yeah!

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

40 years later shined the Flying Finn

Then England’s Black Pearl was the new silver king

From Monte Carlo to the green, green hell

Now big, big Michael’s got us under his spell

The engines scream, you can feel the power

225 miles an hour

The crowd goes wild around the track

Shout it loud: The star is back – yeah!

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

The Silver Arrows racing on

Racing to be number one

Silver Arrows…

McLaren sponsors PR department’s really working hard…

Around this time last year, Vodafone came up with an amusing video which featured Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen as taxi drivers. This year Walkers Crisps have come up with a not so amusing video featuring Jenson Button as a… taxi driver.

Wonder how long it took to come up with that one?
