Guys, Hamilton seemed to have been deliberately collided after qualifying 2, can anyone confirm what happened exactly? (I'm deaf, and missed out that key moment)
That's how it looks, Maldonado side-wiped Hamilton on the exit of LaSource. Hard to believe that it was intentional, definitely needs investigation. If it was intentional then Maldonado should be disqualified, in my view.
Yeah it was defo intentional. Maldonado wasn't going to get bullied by Hamilton without saying something back I would be pissed about the move Hamilton made in to the last turn, and T1 exit aswell, but that was a bit too much.
For a second I thought Hamilton was going to be on pole!!
P7 for Senna, not too bad for a first time out on Quali since last year...and Alguersuari in P6!
Now I can't wait for tomorrow!
That hamilton/maldonado was kind of strange. Hamilton's pass was totally legit imho but the incident was only shown once so it could have been just stupid error. Too bad I picked maldonado to my manager team...
If it was done on purpose then maldonado needs to be disqualified. That kind of stuff belongs to wwe and nascar.
That's a pretty good point, actually. Although it could never happen, it would be utterly fascinating to put the bottom six drivers into a top car to see what sort of lap times they could muster. I reckon the results would be quite surprising.
