They didn't show it on BBC highlights, only Hamilton's lockup coming into the pits :/

i was watchng the full thing from fp1

well, the BBC said that Hamilton+Team could be excluded from the season. Now thats OTT imo.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Do you mean Hamilton's lock up?

no, i mean heikki's. Where the tyre was practically demolished.

The team was stupid.

Did anybody else see Heikki's lock up? it was mahusive!

lol, to get it clear, yes it's wrong to lie to stewards, but i dont think it was lewis' fault. He has so much honour for the team he will just do what hes told in cases like this, they are the experienced ones and his advisors in this situation.

i was a schumi fan too.

obviously because tristan has a lack of talent (especially when coming into the pits), He was unable to secure a deal with a top F1 team from a young age and thus does not understand what it means to keep faith in the team and do what you have been told is the best option. I mean obviously Tritstan would just say to his team bosses, go **** your self i'm gonna tell em you told me to let him pass so it's all your fault

Hamilton did what he was told to do by his bosses. Simple as that.

sucky sucky!

Vettel is too modest. He needs to toughen up, then he wont get stupid £50 billion for getting squeezed.

Anybody know where the race at Barcelona will be broadcasted this weekend? I can only see ALMS on motors TV

Quote from stry90dis :

Edit, and does anyone else notice that Ferrari's make a different sound then other cars? It sounds like the revs are fluctuating when shifting, while in other cars its a "clean" transition from high rev to almost instant a lower rev.

yeah, i heard that too, i dont think it was only the ferrari's though. would have to watch again.

i agree with sinbad

seriously, this track is not about top speed so kers doesn't even matter other than those 2 long straights. the other 75% of the race track is long high speed corners. Brawns downforce will keep them ahead.

malaysia is about downforce, like Westhill in LFS for example. Lots of sweepers and high speed corners/changes of direction etc etc. expect the McLaren to be even worse and the Brawn+Diffuser teams to be even better.

meh, Hamilton had KERS... of course he did, thats the only reason his car wasn't an extra second off the pace!

Fact is, 18th to 3rd (Trulli went off on his own and hamilton had 3rd, FACT), is a good drive. But obviously not good enough for some

tbh, Hamilton beat Trulli fair n square. Trulli overtook him under yellow...

well when u come from the back of the grid a large % of positions u make up will be crashed cars

Quote from el pibe :

kimi . he showed that he had the pace today, but his car wasnt reliable enough to win. he will win in malasya tho.... longer straights = better for kers cars


OR

Vettel

Reliable? i.e. kimi crashing into the wall?

I think one of the brawns might do it. But will have to wait till malaysia to get a good view on things

Ye, i forgot buemi. He definatly improved a tonne over the weekend. At the start he was absolutly no where in fp1/2.

Hamilton and Trulli did a great job (Hamilton more so becase he had a car that was shit compared to trulli, True Story), FIA did brilliant in cocking it all up . Button, was... ok i guess. Not to say button didn't deserve it but it's not so incredible like people want you to think. The story behind it all is, but not the actual drive.

Vettel Kubica incident was Kubica's fault imo. He gave Vettel no room, he basically went for the apex of the corner knowing Vettel was side by side with him. Stupid mistake, i don't see why Vettel got a penalty at all for that but driving around the track on 3 wheels was stooooooopid (admire the fighting spirit though ).

My driver of the day, Hamilton for bringing that bag of crap to the front, he must of been doing qualifying laps the whole race to get that pace out of the car.
