Vodaphone McLaren Mercedes MP4-24

[Metar]

It reads "Hamilton MBE"!

The arrogance, the arrogance!

[twoshots]

It is accurate though

I know but Colin McRae never did that! Gah - I wonder if it was Lewis' idea...or the teams'...or his dad's

[vall]

WTF?

It`s on the car since Barcelona. If he likes it ...

If he deserved it.....

[hulmerist]

fact is guys, he has an mbe, is obviously proud of his achievements (why shouldn't he be, being world champion no less), and wants it on his car

i hope he puts

LEWIS HAMILTON MBE FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPION

on the side of his car in massive letters, at least it'll give you something else to moan at him for

[Scotracer]

I think the big red "1" on the car tells that well enough

I have nothing against him being a MBE (he does deserve it!) but it's unprecedented for a racing driver (or even a sportsman in general) to advertise in the actual sporting event. Just odd I thought.

[ISLAMATRON]

Not many people know what an MBE is and even less people care... His car looks like it wont get many win stickers on it so he better stick whatever he can on it this year.

[andartop]

Doesn't the "BE" in MBE stand for "British Empire"? If so,

[ernos5]

maybe he should put

"Looses 17 point lead in 2 races"

on the side of the car instead of the sponsors =D>

[shir0]

Can someone see something horrendously wrong with this photo?

I've heard of rumors about this "stunt" right immediately after he was invited to Buckingham Palace and I just paid no attention to it...

Lo! and Behold! trust The God of Racing's diety-ish ego to make it all true...

(or most likely, with the devilish nudge from Beelzebub, err... I mean Anthony Hammy...)

I wonder what he'll do if MBE ever becomes KBE?

Ride his composite, 700-plus-power-steed, while wearing kevlar armor and wielding a titanium lance? Oh, boy....

Its nice that McLaren got into the 1:19's at Jerez, hopefully their pace will continue to improve at that rate...

[myurr]

Christ this board really is degenerating into the same juvenile hate fest that plagues other boards. Grow up people or take your hate elsewhere.

Yup it is nice that they're making good progress. It looks like they've dragged themselves up to the pace of the mid-pack. Now for the long haul up to the sharp end

[djos]

It is accurate though

Still incredibly arrogant, makes me like the little twat even less! [-X
