Title: Still a big over-hype
Description: Even after a poor race

There was still a huge out-pouring of hype surrounding Lewis Hamilton following a poor European GP weekend. In the Daily Star, they have claimed that Lewis' race was ruined by being blue-flagged, while the Daily Mirror reported it as Lewis having 'had a puncture, slid into a sandtrap, sent to the back of the grid and fought his way up only to be demoted again'

I don't remember him being sent to the back of the grid, and definitely feel that the Lewis bubble with the media will burst as soon as he is toppled from the top of the standings.

And by the way, they mention the rest of the field and all the other action an amazing THIRTEEN paragraphs in - over half the article!

The Sunday Times was quite amusing. They had a 2 page spread detailing in pretty pictures an analysis of Hamilton's accident, whereas a report of qualifying was shifted to a single column on the right-hand side of the page.

The Mirror compared his accident to Senna's, which sickened me, to be honest.
