Very few of our sports people are/have been in his league. Steve Redgrave, Andy Murray, Joey Dunlop, Phil Taylor, Ronnie O’Sullivan, James Anderson, Bobby Moore, Martin Johnson, Tanni Grey Thompson, Daley Thompson. Can’t think of many more than that.
He's a tax dodging droid. He's got the charisma of a lamppostI'm not into F1 at all but I'm wondering why this guy, who has exceeded all past Brits, does not seem to be well liked. We used to revere drivers like Jackie Stewart, James Hunt, Graham Hill etc but this bloke's success doesn't seem to elevate him to greatness. Might just because I'm not into it and the F1 fans are great admirers and will put me right on this?

As long as I can remember F1 has ALWAYS had 1 particular team that has dominated while everyone else has competed between themselves. It was always Ferrari (Schumacher) when I was growing up. Then Brawn GP had a spell, then Red Bull dominated for years, the Mercedes had a good run, its a lot more open this season with 3 teams in the running.Us brits simply like to bash people who are successful, there always seems to be an issue with our ‘greats’ and I think that is press orientated.
As for F1, I think it’s a poor era which seems to be dominated by one constructor which doesn’t make good viewing. I used to watch it a lot in the 90s but it just doesn’t seem to be much of a watch of the last few years but to defend Hamilton he can only beat what’s in front of him and he is doing a fine job.

A battle that was massively dominated by Schumacher!Always remember Hill v Schu when I was growing up!
Think it's just because it used to be on one of the few terrestrial TV channels so people gave it more attention. Now with the saturation of sports available to everyone many have discovered that they don't actually give a shit.
UEFA missed an opportunity by not bringing back the cup winners cup when introducing a 3rd European competition. That would bring interest back into the FA cup and provide some mad games.I bet if there was an anglo italian cup now nobody would care. I used to love watching that.
Agree with that. I also remember there used to be a really good televised 5 a side competition which showcased the skilful players in the old First Division.UEFA missed an opportunity by not bringing back the cup winners cup when introducing a 3rd European competition.

I used to like the cup winners cup as it brought out some random fixtures but I think with the champions league, it wouldn’t have legs now. Even the europa league isn’t popular so cannot think why a 3rd competition would be a success (apart from cash)UEFA missed an opportunity by not bringing back the cup winners cup when introducing a 3rd European competition.
