Flowers To Massa With Love

It’s been reported in the Italian press, “Corriere dello Sport” that Lewis Hamilton had sent a commiserations bouquet of flowers to Felipe Massa after Hamilton clinched the world championship from Massa’s grasp at the Brazilian grand prix.

If this is true I can’t help but think that it is rubbing Massa’s nose in it. Especially when Massa was so graceful in defeat of the championship at his home grand prix. I think this sort of attitude and psychological game play by Hamilton won’t do him any favours. It is fast becoming apparent that the rest of the paddock doesn’t like Hamilton. Especially obvious when so many drivers were openly rooting for Massa over Hamilton at the final race last year.

seems like a typical italian wind up to me.why has it come out now, slow news day? if their sport paper is anything like our red tops then it would be difficult to give anything they print any credence. If you think brit papers are hamilton biased what on earth are the ferarri obssesed italian ones like?

As I put in the post "If this is true..."

I would agree no doubt the Italian press are just as biased.

However it is apparent that Hamilton uses psychological games which are peeing off the rest of the grid... It is nothing Schumacher didn't do but Schumacher wasn't exactly loved in the paddock was he?
