That is really Hamilton's tweet because if you go to this link which is Lewis account you will notice that there is a blue V to the right of his name (which means this is the real famous person since he is approved by twitter) and I sow the tweet as quickly as it was tweeted today after qualify.

Hopefully, he has had the time to re-think it and either rephrase or remove it.
THIS IS more like it:
Contrary to what some believe, the pressure from the press and sponsors often leads some pilots to vent some justification for a problem or a failure. I'd say wrong move, better raise your chin, take one and move on.

i agree to disagree.
I think he just reacted out of frustration, which is pretty normal compare to what Maldonado did last year. 
Well, there's a big difference between today's Lewis Hamilton and the one from a year and before.
And even more of a difference between Maldonado and Lewis. On top of that, Lewis is a former F1 champion, he can't afford (shouldn't) to show his frustration via excuses or justifications. Better explain when the press asks, diffusing the issue, and let it go.
Anyway, can't win all the time, no matter how good he is (and he is).

Twofaced hearing that from him was it real.
Probably a heat of the moment thing but still.

Yeah.
This reminds me of an interview the Busch bros (Kyle and Kurt) gave to, iirc, Speed TV. They were basically complaining people put too much pressure on them. The bar, they said, was raised too high when it came to them, so when something didn't work out everyone'd blame them...Obviously, imo, total BS, given who they are, but with Lewis H. the bar is really sky high and quite deservedly so. If he doesn't perform, negativity from the press piles up on him, so while it is hard not to react he cannot afford to vent away.
IMO, for sure.

Calum McLure
Did ye, aye?
I seen the original tweet earlier on Twitter so it was his account. Didn't even think much of it to be honest.
Agree, especially when he´s been trying so hard to paint up this picture of "smooth sailing Hamilton" it was quite a shocker to see that.
In my opinon he´s the fastest F1 driver since Senna but he needs to be real with his emotions.
I had no problems with his attitude last year because i knew it was atleast an honest one.
I hope he gets himself together, as you say, he can´t afford to trip now.
Yes but saying Boiling wasn't the Clear Representation of My Exact situationChris you are my King
I can see Kartrik just boiling inside hahaha
But the Q is Finished and Now its time for Race Lets see what will happen...
Also i guess it was Like a Wake Up call for the Team so that they need Speed...
I really Disappointed with Both Mclaren and Redbull Teams
Redbull Didn't look like they had any major updates and Why Mclaren didn't let the New Rear wing for Lewis Car

remember he has to watch what he says though to keep Mclaren and to keep sponsors happy so what he says to the media would have been said to keep Mclaren happy and deleting the tweet probably will keep them happy as well
I think with a lower DF package we would have seen Hamilton on pole and a 1-2 for Mclaren without a doubt.
Provisional grid for today,
- Button
- Kobayashi
- Raikkonen
- Perez
- Alonso
- Maldonado
- Hamilton
- Grosjean
- Di Resta
- Vettel
- Hulkenberg
- Webber
- Schumacher
- Massa
- Vergne
- Ricciardo
- Senna
- Kovalainen
- Petrov
- Glock
- Pic
- Rosberg
- Karthikeyan
Thats the most embarrasing thing i've ever seen from an F1 driver. Come one, why they just can't shut up and drive? Seriously he made that decision with his engineer, just deal with it. Imagine someone like Mansell who raced in bath of fuel doing that kind of thing, i would assume he's gone nuts.I think with a lower DF package we would have seen Hamilton on pole and a 1-2 for Mclaren without a doubt.
It's typical Hamilton. He's still not mature.
If he wins, he did a great job himself. If he doesn't, it's the team's fault.

I normally don't like to go and defend an F1 driver but guys come on, the guy lost a family member a couple of days ago. That isn't something you get over in just like that.
So give him a break, he is probably in a complete emotional chaos and reacts there for in this (what you guys try to refer to as) childish/immature way. This is maybe his way of getting over something like this, he is human after all...
