Hamilton's Top Gear challenge delayed by rain

| 22 Comments | No TrackBacks
With the world championship out of his grasp this year, Lewis Hamilton has turned his attention to a car that really could reward his talents - the Suzuki Liana.

In November 2007 Lewis drove the reasonably priced car on Top Gear, narrowly missing out on beating Nigel Mansell and The Stig despite being on a wet track.

Consensus is that on an equal footing - i.e a dry track - Lewis will blow them into the weeds.

The Ham had been scheduled to give it another go next week, but with rain forecast the challenge has been postponed. Filming of the current season comes to an end next week, so Lewis will have to wait and wait and wait.

"I'm totally gutted," said Hamilton. "I was really looking forward to getting back out on the track, but Top Gear felt the chance of rain was too great and have rescheduled me for another show. It is a huge shame and completely out of my control.

"I am sorry if any of the fans and viewers were looking forward to it. I am not sure how we will find a date that works with the Top Gear filming schedule that will not be affected by the great British weather, but I will do everything I can to get back there either in the winter filming season or next year.

"I think everyone wants to see a dry lap rather than another wet one, so fingers crossed we can make it happen in the not too distant future.

I know this is really boring and you are skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw you a big thanks - you cleared up some things for me!

Hi from germany, good blog. I should come back next week to see what's new.

Such a usefule blog. wow !!!!

My pet tortoise has more insight about this subject matter than you. Find another topic to talk about because you don't know a huge amount about this one.

maybe you would enjoy my blog, i certainly enjoyed yours.

Are you a professional article writer? You write quite well.

Had a blackberry for years. When iPhone came out I felt lust, but refused to switch to ATT from verizon. After using my iPod touch and feeling total frustration when I thought of the possibilities, and to that I added the over the air sync through mobile me with my mac I ditched verizon and am now th proud owner o an iPhone 3GS.

Well, all I have to say is who paid those people doing the survey and of course people here on TIPB are not gonna say nice things about BBs. I鈥檓 a Tour user, I like the Iphone and would love to have one but I mean BBs are really solid devices if you actually know how to use it. I love people saying that people on Crackberry.com bash the Iphone, but don鈥檛 you people here bash BBs, that鈥檚 pretty double standard. The only thing that I find stupid is people that would switch to Iphone and get ATT鈥檚 Sh.. service. There 3G service reminds me of the back of a ladybug! Something else that鈥檚 disappointing is that the Iphone battery is horrible so what鈥檚 the point if you can鈥檛 even use it, so Apple can stick you and charge you 90 dollars to replace the battery. I鈥檓 an Apple product user but some decisions are so so. Now keep in mind that the Iphone is not a push device except for Mobile Me so it just pulls emails every so often. That drains the battery vs dedicated servers on RIM and true push. But I guess people don鈥檛 understand what a true smartphone should be!

I am little curious to know more about it.........

Overalls belong on a farm. Period. They don't flatter anyone, and there are much better ways to look down-home sexy (a checked shirt tied at the midriff is a better start).

Ripped jeans have their place in history but new styles are tearing down to threads. Unraveled stringy jeans are barely holding together this summer but as they fall apart the legs will be exposed to the summer air.

Unless your child gives you a handmade tie-dye shirt, let the skaters and noveau hippies give this look a try. On the other hand, patchwork pieces -- bags, skirts, hats -- seem to always look adorably bohemian and crafty for anyone.
