I have just got back from interviewing Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone today.

 

I must say that after some of the crap we have seen in the papers recently, this guy really is under a lot of pressure. To do what he does so well is phenomenal, and rather than the leeches abusing him, we should praise him.

 

Okay—rant over. You know the drill. I will be MG and Lewis will be LH. Let’s get going.

 

MG: Lewis, nice to meet you at last!

 

LH: Nice to meet you too man, who you write for again?

 

MG: Bleacher Report, the open source sports network. We have some extremely good writers in the F1 community.

 

LH: Cool man, I’ll have to check it out.

 

MG: Nice one. Right then, fourth on the grid. Slight error on your first run. Did that cost you pole position?

 

LH: I don’t think so. Heikki set a wicked time man, I don’t think that I could have gone that fast. I do think I could have beaten Mark though. Kimi set a good time too, so I think it will be very interesting tomorrow.

 

MG: With Mark and Heikki on the front row, unexpectedly, do you think that it has thrown the race wide open?

 

LH: Oh totally man, I mean I said that we would be happy with a podium, but a one-two is our target now. Mark’s time was brilliant, and if he can replicate that pace in the race, then we got a big fight on our hands.
