Thank goodness the stewards selected for this GP were always going to be impartial............ please log in to view this image
Hamilton is probably thinking about tomorrow now, clear your minds. Look forward. We are in for a cracking race.
Yeah F1 is littered with teams who have thrown away race wins for one driver to get the other one a 10th place grid slot.
And go where? Ferrari and Red Bull wont have him and Mercedes is a worse team. Lotus look pretty settled as well. By the end of the season we'll have all forgotten an unlucky spell.
The problem is Lewis's pit crew - they always screw him over! Every race! A lot of these early races where I've followed the BBC text/radio (don't have SSF1), whenever he pits it's always 'Hamilton's been held up in the pits - seems to be a problem with the left tyre' etc. Aside from that, the Ferrari favouritism is so blatent it's untrue. Any chance the stewards get to penalise Mclaren they take with both hands.
I'd love it if he went to Red Bull. They're likely to stick one of their young drivers in there next year, got a strong feeling Webber could end up at Ferrari, but if Red Bull get their act together in the next few races, Lewis might fancy them after McLaren's calamitous start.
Wouldnt surprise me, though I can see him having another battle with his good buddy Massa, it always happends when hes is out of position. As for McLaren they really have big operational problems, which Sam Michael was supposed to help fix and assist in this area, yet they have got worse. Williams on pole btw, they scored 5 points last year, wonder what has changed from last year
Favouritism and sabotage are two different things. Especially when the sabotage does not serve any positive purpose.
I made this point after the pitstop disasters in Bahrain. They were singing his praises in Australia after McLaren's pole and win, completely forgetting Williams had also made a huge step forward since he left.
Not true. It moves Jenson into 10th . As the laws of conspiracies dictate McLaren think that is much better.
Alonso has a really good chance of winning, their hard tyre pace was very good in practice and their balance seemed to be better on that tyre. Their pace on high fuel towards the end of second practice was also quick, though I'm not sure what Maldonado's high fuel laptimes were. I just hope Maldonado doesn't do anything silly at the start.
[video=youtube;l3fGC5JrOm8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3fGC5JrOm8[/video] Funny why they've started favouring JB this race, after sabotaging his pitstop in China and retiring him in Bahrain.
What do you mean? Surely McLaren retired Button so he could have the new gearbox now instead of having to wait until Monaco like Hamilton?
But of course. How naive of me. The slow pitstop in China must've been a smoke screen, to make it look like both drivers are affected by Whitmarsh's evil genius in a race they knew Jenson couldn't win. It all seems so obvious now.
I'm struggling to make sense of this one. How could McLaren be so, so stupid? Why were the stewards so harsh? Why did such a cracking qualifying have to be turned upside-down? I really think that the magnitude of Lewis's penalty was chosen to create maximum controversy and publicity but the rank incompetence of McLaren gave them the perfect opportunity to do it. What pisses me off most about this fiasco is the sense that, yet again, the sport has been shafted for a shot of cheap high-profile publicity. Congratulations to Pastor though
