It's amazing that Lewis is third in the championship after losing around 5 - 10 seconds with most of his pitstops this year. I would actually consider moving teams because of something like this, if it got this frustrating. Would ya?
If you were Seb would you leave RBR because of reliability... If I was Lewis, no I wouldn't leave as pitstops can get sorted over time. There are worse things than losing 10 seconds, like losing a minute because you dont have the car or not even getting a single point no matter how well you drive.
No I wouldn't. I might however leave for a more competitive car, a team with a strong engine for the new regulations and out and out No1 status. His opportunities of adding to his WDC are limited by the fact that his greatess competition - Alonso & Vettle - have a team focused primarily on winning a WDC with them.
Why are people not moaning at Saubers bad stops? It's always got to be Mclaren are ruining Hamilton. He wouldnt have won anyway.
No. I wouldn't decide to leave a team based solely on pit stops. I think Smithers makes an interesting comment here: I've taken the liberty of highlighting part of the post which I think anyone hoping for Hamilton's success, relative to his competition, would be wise to note. I should add that I very much hope McLaren do not single out one driver over another –other than such a strategic decision being taken based upon mathematical standings in the World Drivers' Championship– and that I very much admire this philosophy, which I think is courageous when one considers what their biggest rivals do.
I wouldnt say he's average. He's obviously good on his day. But he needs to go to a team which isnt conservative like Sauber. I also think he struggles on full fuel. But i'd agree that Perez is the next something special.
No, Lewis should not move team's, where would he be better off, the McLaren woes will turn around, probably.
To be honest, I can't believe Schumacher said that considering how many front wings he lost in 2010 and 2011. Kamui had been a bit unlucky sometimes. The one with Massa in Valencia was a race incident, Oz 2010 he had a lot of front wing problems, and Schumacher himself has run into Kamui a few times
I hope your right. There's always something in the back of my mind that makes me doubt whether Lewis and Jenson can win a WDC with them. Mclaren don't seem reliable enough. The car is perfectly fine in terms of reliability, they have always been top class in that respect, but it's their decision making and certain individuals. It's the same as in 2010. Mclaren let them down in that they weren't bringing decent updates to the last few races, and they couldn't keep up. It seems the same this year but for a completely different reason which, as a Mclaren fan, is quite frustrating
