Future F1 stars... big girls
 

When Hamilton and Rosberg made the podium at the aussie GP they were obviously happy. But did they have to jump up and down together like a pair of girls (my question mark doesn't work). Could you see Senna and Mansell doing the same. Or Jean Alesi and Gerhard berger doing that.

Come on guys, this is a mans sport. You haven't won the egg and spoon race at your schools sports day.

1 minute in. If you can...

As far as I'm concerned, after driving such a hard race, they can jump up and down and even do sumersaults, or even do a hand stand if they want to.

The biggest star of all (arguably) Michael Schumacher did just that, and I always thought that was a rather endearing quality, that he was able to celebrate, even after winning his 417th grand prix http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...ies/tongue.gif

I think it's refreshing to see guys celebrating on the podium and show a little emotion... especially ones of Finnish heritage http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif And if you are lucky enough to be on the podium with a good friend, better yet!

Actually, I don't recall ever seeing Girls jumping up and down like that. Mostly it reminds me of a Soccer Goal celebration.

its better than a driver who just stands there and think 'oh just another grand prix win'. Let them celebrate all that they want

I prefer emotional happy kids to dumb machos who stood like stones and does not appreciate how cool is to win a Grand Prix. If Lewis and Kimi are emotional, let them to jump as much as they want.
I always feel happy if I see happy people.

In literary circles that is what is referred to as the ultimate in expression:
"The spontaneous outflow of human emotion"
"Life is a stage"

its better than spurting out every sponsor under the sun. ie nascar winners!

seeing emotions from drivers make for a great season. I'd rather see hamilton/nico/piquet/vettel podium and be happy than kimi just be stoned face and just sit there...

Man... to be 22 and win formula 1 races... that's the life, is it not? let'em jump around. god knows i'd be all over the place

Everyone celebrates a victory differently...that's just the differences in personality. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to celebrate.

Kimi is the best!!

Kimi is just more reserved. I think that it is because of the Finnish culture. But when you see him punching the air in delight in his car, you know that he is happy too.

end of debate

They sure did jump around alot....
and it was great to watch..
They had a great time celebrating..

They did look kind of fruity. Oh well.

Kimi's a real man. He takes the champagne in the eye.

i've seen schumacher celebrate, way more than my liking http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...lies/smile.gif, and he was always pumped up after demolishing the field. but i never seen two guys jump around like that after a GP before. but hey they have every right to do whatever they want i guess.

This was two young men in a semi-private staging room overwhelmed with joy. Rossberg was in tears.
As I stated earlier, it was not rehearsed or premeditated in any way.
If it isn't what you consider Macho-ly acceptable behavior for Grand Prix Drivers,
I think that’s a pretty narrow view of life.
If they had taken that dance out on to the podium,
at that point I would have found it a little... No....."VERY STRANGE”

I registered just to reply to this thread because the autors reply of "GAY" had me pissing my pants. I agree, this is supposed to be a mans sport, now we have these kids up on the podium prancing around like 3 year olds who've just been given 6volt quads from Kmart. I recognise the actions, exactly the same thing happened with my 3 year old boys last week, the hugging, the jumping, Mummy spilling champers everywhere.

Come on current crop, man the phuck up ! Stop hugging each other, us "real men" get uncomfortable about that kind of stuff. Lol....
