    Was that the one where Vettle went over the kerbing and had all 4 wheels off the track?

    Schumacher V Hamilton Monaco
    Schumacher V Massa and Kobayashi Montreal
    Schumacher V Button Nurburgring
    Schumacher V Petrov Nurburgring

    So much passion, but all in a crap car.
    Not saying he is the best, but for Michael, these stand out in his comeback.

    The one where he dived down the inside on the hardest corner in Monaco.

    Yes yes I know mate. It was a good overtake and a opportunistic move.

    The move Hamilton did on Shcuey going into Ste Devote was also a classic late braking move.

    Praise to both drivers on both of those overtakes that they showed it could be done without colliding. Massa and Maldonado showed that it couldn't.

    Takes two good drivers to pull off a great overtake, otherwise you end up with an accident :)

    As a Hamilton fan, the Massa contact was Lewis's fault and I can understand the penalty, but with Maldonado I don't understand why Pastor just backed of and delayed the turn in point. Completely his fault.

    Replays showed Massa turned in very early as he also hit the back of Webber with the angle he put the car into the hairpin with.

    I'd say it was no different to the Schuey v Hamilton move, but Hamilton saw it and chose to give room rather than turn in early and have contact.

    The Sainte Divote move on Schumacher was helped by the fact that mr schumacher's tyres were shot and the use of kers and DRS and Michael knew he was a sitting duck, so gave Hamilton room or they would have both gone out, Hamilton tried that same move on Pastor Maldonado when they were both on fresh rubber and unfortunately only Pastor paid the price, you can't just expect a driver to jump out of the way.

    Hamilton was losing his mind in Monaco, and that is a fact, if Michael could conserve his tyres that had been turned into pulp, he would have defended for many more laps... instead he pulled out and let Hamilton, who was "losing his mind", carry on and risk colliding with someone else.

    Conclusion: Hamilton is just a better driver as anyone else (except the obvious qualifying skill), and is just as bad when it comes to colliding with others as Michael is, as loads to people like to claim otherwise.

    Him and Alonso in a Red Bull would be dominant. Hamilton has matched Red Bull in qualifying at times and I think at Spa and Monza he can certainly achieve pole.

    Yes I don't doubt his one-lap pace, but it matters in the race, overtaking and long-distance pace matters if you want to bag the points, but it does help if you are starting further up the grid.

    You don't see many posts insinuating Lewis lacks overtaking ability :huh:

    And long runs are important but all this pussy footing in F1 is starting to annoy me, it should be about balls out speed not nursing the car over the line.

    And I'm very sure if Seb and Webber had that McLaren, they would be closer to that Red Bull in points and not shooting themselves in the foot.

    Disagree; Seb lacks the ability to cleave through a field like Lewis (and even Jenson) can do, so he'd be stuck in the field. And remember Seb was the crash kid last year, just because his car is quite happy to be in front all the time this year doesn't mean he's suddenly any better... And Mark simply isn't fast enough, he's like Jenson except slower and not as consistent...

    Really? Although Vettel has improved since last season he can still make basic errors. I.E Germany & Canada. If the pressure was for him to perform and get crucial points I don't see him pulling up any trees.
