Nige would know, he's been in the greatest of F1 machines and still failed; yet
won with the very finest as well.
And few have called him a shitty driver.

In the same article, Nigel went on to condemn Hamilton's lacklustre
performance, with the words, "But what he has been able to do is
excellent, if not fantastic."

That's condemnation?

No, we have the ability to both utilise, and understand, irony.

I don't think you'll find any Brits reading this who won't understand
what was meant by the above. However I'm sure you're not at all alone
among the non-Brits. Seems to be it's only us that really delight in
saying one thing and meaning the exact opposite.
