He won something, wow.

LOL at the Steward's intervention afterwards though, I'm not going to include anything but its ridiculous.

[hpluls]

I missed the race because of my damn timezone... I just didn't feel like getting up at 6 in the morning on Sunday. :p Good to hear that Kubica was 2nd :thumbsup:

I fell asleep and I found Mr. Eyebrow Man has won.

Now braking late for a corner is a drive thru I bet McDonalds wish they were at the end of the pit lane.

 

No more to say.

It's better than that - just get in the way of a Ferrari (even if you're fighting for position) and you get a penalty - a la Bourdais. Clearly everyone should just park the car on the side of the road and let the Ferraris past before getting on with the race.

I forgot to set the DVR the night before to see it. And I'm kind of dissapointed it didn't rain. If it rained like last year i would have been more interesting.

I know this was very bad also, were they even watching the same race. I have to bite my tongue before I go off on one. So no more to say. :-x

[Eudemon]

Ferrari International Assistance does it again. Seriously if I was behind a Ferrari now in F1 I would just ram it, you're going to get penalised anyway so why not do it right.

So they wrongfully gave hamilton the penalty, when it was heiki that caused kimi to go off the track, the stewards would have this footage available to them yet they still gave hamilton the penalty.

 

Also, what about on all the other races where other cars got forced off the track on the first corner, howcome they never got any penalties?

[YeOldeTDUMan]

I just kept on thinking Senna vs Prost

 

Would loved to have seen the flatspot on Hamilton's tyres from the first bend ... supposedly they were down to the fabric ... MUPPET !

 

Ha ... and a few of you thought I was a fanboy

[Tundra]

Check his right tyre, upper section:

What ?????

 

 

Hybrid you are not being your normal reserved self, I'm scared ......

 

Anyway,

 

Lewis Hamilton, Aryton Senna & Micheal Schmacher

 

What is wrong with that sentance ????

 

Its Lewis Hamilton's name, he yet again proved he will never be that 'amazing' or 'great' driver so many people say he already his.

 

He tried to win the championship on the first corner of the first lap, a great or amazing driver would have drove tactically and got a points socring finish and make sure he finished above his main rival but nooo not Lewis Hamilton has to try for the win doesn't he, consequently he has probably cost himself the world championnship yet again and people say he his the next Schumacher, please ...........

 

BTW Kimi is back :thumbsup: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eudemon]

Schumacher shouldn't be in the same sentence either tbh.

 

It should be:

 

Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost among others.

 

Michael Schumacher, Lewis Hamilton

 

Hamilton is a hot head and like a lot of the best does make mistakes and stupid ones at that, the best thing is that they learn from these mistakes. LH isn't stupid but he is inexperienced.

Don't you remember any of Mr Schmachers mistakes, like when he put it into the back of Coulthard I think it was, then once he drove back to the pit lane with only had 3 wheels got out the car and very professionally went down the pit lane to hit him???

[Eudemon]

I was so hoping DC would have headbutted him. I think the whole of Scotland was shouting for it to be honest.

And England! (Well, at least one person in England, anyway)

[Eudemon]

LOL DM, I'm sure there were a few now you mention it.

[YeOldeTDUMan]

Kimi is back! where? Alonso won the race proving once again that he's one of the best drivers there when he's got his head screwed on

 

As to your comments about Hamilton ... well one of my mates put it the best way today ... he's Nigel Mansell ... just without the bushy eyebrows and tash and younger ... Mansell only knew one pace ... fast ... he only ever raced and never relaxed ... and because of reliability in those days broke more cars than I care to mention ... Hamilton looks like he might be the same ... which means it might be a few years till he wins a championship.

 

And the sentence you put of Hamilton, Senna, Schumacher .... you're right that Hamilton shouldn't be there .... but you should add Fangio, Clark, Moss and Prost to your list

 

I won't go into the next list of people to add as 'the next level of greatness'

 

Oh BTW I don't do reserved anymore ... BE WARNED !
