Pre order cancelled.

 

[MadmanUK]

As a British racing fan, even I can’t stand him.

 

[oni-link]

Can you toggle him off?

 

[TheMan]

Why the hate?

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Why the hate?

It's Neogaf.

 

[liquidtmd]

I have had trouble sleeping lately...

Pre-order ORDERED

 

[Halabane]

Not sure I understand the hate on Hamilton...seems like a nice fellow to me...even though I am a Ferrari fan. My question is are they adding F1 to the game? Because how you drive F1 is a different lines than other racing so his input is okay but there are other drivers who could be better.

 

[Drackhorn]

That is really cool. If it were Vettel you'd only get instructions to steer to the left.

Spoiler

/jk

 

[SilentRob]

That's pretty cool. Kinda bummed they got rid of the Top Gear hosts for Forza, I like this kind of stuff.

 

[kromeo]

It's Neogaf.

The dislike of his personality is hardly just contained to neogaf

 

[GoldenCrow]

I take it this is the racing etiquette feature that was greyed out in the beta demo.

 

[Mokubba]

Vettel was in GT5 so natural step to move on to Lewis.

At least he doesn't play bumper cars.

 

[TheMan]

The dislike of his personality is hardly just contained to neogaf

What's wrong with his personality? Serious question, I'm not familiar with his off-track exploits

 

[Lettuce]

and i thought it wasn't possible to make the game more boring.......sees i was wrong

This is so awesome !!

Will there be challenges to beat his reference lap times that they mention in this video?

 

[Brandon F]

Anyone willing to provide context on this guy?

 

[CrayToes]

He actually has one, unlike most F1 drivers. I find him annoying at the best of times but I'll never understand the hate other than from salty Ferrari fans.

 

[PantsuJo]

Just another reason to avoid this game.

Spoiler

/jk ... Or not.

 

[Branson]

But what about Jeff Gordon

 

[bombshell]

Three-time Formula 1 world champion, soon four.

 

[Frostman]

Interesting.

I like him, unlike many on here it seems. So it could be a cool feature.

 

[kromeo]

I think part of it was when he chose to move to Mercedes (which obviously turned out to be a no brainer) and he seems to fall out with all his team mates

 

[Certinty]

Well that Lewis Hamilton news has put me off getting the full game.

 

[Angst]

Awesome. Hope they get more professional drivers like in GT5. On that note, hope they have something like the driving challenges in GT5, those were pretty cool, especially the Mercedez one.

 

[GHG]

The hate hard on for Lewis is as strong as ever on GAF I see.

 

[Risgroo]

.

 

[muteki]

Teach me your expert tiger ambush techniques Lewis.

 

[DieH@rd]

He's a very talented driver, but ofc, many prefer others who had less time to shine in the spotlight than him.

Whenever some driver/team become dominant, public perception turns and start hyping up contenders.

 

[LordOcidax]

Why the hate?

Its a champ... Normal humans reactions.

 

[v1lla21]

That’s pretty cool. Really enjoyed my time with the beta. I’ll be picking GT sport during Black Friday since I don’t wanna waste much on a game right now

 

[the_milkybar_kid]

It's Neogaf.

Nah. I know a few people that work in the industry in Milton Keynes. None of them have a good word to say about him. He's a petulant manchild. Completely false. You can see a glimpse of it at times in the winners room after a GP where he'll completely blank racers that he doesn't want to talk to for one reason or another. Exceptionally talented driver though.

justified.

Best F1 driver ever. Ok thats going to set people off and I maybe biased as a Hamilton fan, but he is undisputedly a great in the sport and has surpassed legends like Michael Schumacher for most pole positions etc.

He is a multiple drivers world champion in F1 though he is loved and hated in equal measure. He has a large social media presence which seems to rub people the wrong way and some people believe he is arrogant and bit of a drama queen, but mostly, he's just #blessed

 

[Trumpets]

Why the hate?

He's a nob.

 

[Neptonic]

Ewwwwwww. Give me Vettel instead, or like any other F1 racer

 

[DrM]

Imagine if they get Grosjean instead.

This could describe more or less any driver on the grid apart from the gawd Ricciardo.

This will set many off lmao, but i totally agree!

Vettel comes across as a bit of an ass at times as well. Ricciardo's probably the most likable of the lot

 

[blastprocessor]

Pre order cancelled.

Receipts please

 

[ImBarryScott]

I bet Nic Hamilton is pissed. Wasn't he some big wig in the online gaming racing scene before getting into racing proper?

 

[JadedWriter]

Imagine if they get Grosjean instead.

He will give you expert advice on how to crash in the rain and whinge.

 

[Phamit]

He will tell you that your teammate is manipulating things in the background?

 

[Mohonky]

Imagine if they get Grosjean instead.

Grosjean / Maldonaldo pairing would be soooo good.

Btw the Hamilton hate isnt a Neogaf thing. It happens on GAF but you can goto another forum or F1 article comments section and its the same.

 

[Adam M]

Ewwwwwww. Give me Vettel instead, or like any other F1 racer

Because Vettel is a true gentleman

Even if you don't like Hamilton the game still could be good

Kimi Räikkönen would be the best! "Leave me alone, I know what I'm doing."

"We're so f**king sh*t, it's unbelievable."
