Hamilton is always seen as a rain master but thats based on that wet silverstone race in a mclaren that had that special manual traction control paddle. Otherwise he makes as many mistakes as others (maybe even more than others)

 

wtf?

The 1998 McLaren had a pedal for rear brakes only to limit wheelspin, what's this about special paddles on the 2008 car? Not heard that one before.

'was' legal and very clever and made them king in the rain. 2008 was a very wet year too

 

Lewis is the fastest in the wet because he goes for it, trouble with that is a tiny mistake that would add .1 on a dry track will see you off in the wet.

Just haven't had chance to change Stoffel's number to Alonso's? Or are McLaren genuinely expecting Alonso not to race?

Even if Alonso does drive they probably will still have 47 on the car. Lazy Mclaren

 

Don't want to wish Fernando ill, but I really hope Stoff's driving again this weekend.

 

Don't think he hasn't crashed that many times (on his own) in the we where it was 100% his driver error.

 

5 place grid penalty for Hamilton as they have changed his gearbox. More work for him to do.

 

he should have some fun climbing up from 10th place after the first corner......

 

The drivers seem more united than ever.

 

The FIA have 'provisionally cleared Alonso for the race. I think they are going to test him after free practice tomorrow to see if he has any pain.


....He's driving a McLaren so I guess he will be experiencing a lot of agony

 

Good news.

 

He needs a signed doctors note or he has to drive the McHRT

 

He'll do FP1, be reminded how bad it is, then his ribs will deteriorate.

 

I've just read this and feel a bit bad. My lad has just spent the last two weeks doing work experience for an engineering company that makes parts for Merc and Manor, specifically gearboxes!

 

Tweet Nico, get him to send him a signed helmet.

 

I really can't stand Crofty and kravitz ​

 

You know Lewis and nico had a falling out after that meal over the bill. True story
