First donuts on a public road now whinning on the radio instead of driving, he still has some growing up to do. What other driver is still an impetuous punk after 3 years inb the cockpit? I think they should take his radio away from him lol.

This is getting really tiresome. Again another person that does not seem to have watched the race or LISTENED to what Lewis said or what Martin Whitmarsh said, come to that. Did you not listen to Whitmarsh? Did you not hear him say they got it WRONG? And when exactly did you hear Lewis saying that about his tyres? He did not complain he wanted to change his tyres, much later in the race AFTER he pitted he said something about the tyres, for goodness sake get it right!
McLaren nearly cost Lewis the championship for calling it wrong on his tyres in 2008! Nothing changes it seems.

Lewis fights for every point, he NEVER gives up, the same mind set as Shumacher and the other greats, it is what separates racing drivers from GREAT racing drivers.


:yawn:

Seriously, are you having a laugh or are you Spanish? Or maybe you watched a different race? It was not lack of patience, it was some Aussie bloke "deliberately" ramming Lewis off of the track, it had nothing to do with Alonso. Lewis would have had a run at Alonso, he was positioning for it before he got taken out.

Looking at the shunt from the ariel view, it looks to me as if Mark Webber deliberately rammed Lewis, perhaps the stewards should be looking at it too?

Lewis is a passionate racing driver, he is a winner and he wants to win, especially after last season, where he tried to defend a title with a dog of a car, thanks once again to McLaren.
Stop knocking Lewis for being a winner, if you are going to do that then knock Alonso, Shumacher and Rubens etc etc, they all do it and they do it because they are frustrated and want to win, that is the element that makes them winners, it is called having an edge!

Besides that Lewis was 110% correct, it was the wrong strategy and I think that sly dog Martin Whitmarsh gets it WRONG yet AGAIN! He seems to call the tyres wrong each time!

Now here is a little conspiracy theory for you, Whitmarsh knew that Hamilton was closing the leaders down, he knew if he got a shot at Button that he would take it, for reasons better known to Whitmarsh he decided to call Lewis in. Now did Whitmarsh do this because he favours Jenson or did he do it because knowing Lewis is a real driver and will take the chance, he was scared that Lewis may try and pass Jenson and take them both out of the race?

I think that if Whitmarsh is not careful, Lewis is probably going to be driving for either Ferrari or Red Bull next year! Lewis will not hang around to be treated like this.

If McLaren want to keep Lewis then they need to get rid of Whitmarsh and find someone that can make the correct call on the tyres, tyres are going to be the make and break of this season and I honestly do not think that Whitmarsh is up to the job.

Taking nothing away from the race winners and great to see Massa up there after last season, the true man of the race was indeed Lewis Hamilton, he rode an absolute corker of a race, overcoming so much to improve his position, while Shumacher was going backwards Lewis was on the charge, he drove out of his skin, a truly exciting and brilliant race and a joy to watch after the boredom of Bahrain! (But their track changes are another story entirely, what the hell were they thinking?)


oh boy :yawn: Now Lewis is better than the Mclaren team. They are undeserving of him. You are right.
Tires are going to be the make and break of the season?? have you not seen what little difference tire choice makes at all?

Lewis did a fantastic race. He 'deserved' more..... but so did Kubica in Bahrain. And so did Vettel in both. And so did Alonso and Kubica today.
So the team didnt make the 'best' decision? it was not all simply up to the decision. S**t happens.
Dont forget Lewis was also lucky he didnt break his nose on the move vs Massa. So anything can/could have happened.

Hamilton cry again after he lack of patience, it was very dificult to pass Alonso, he took innecesary risks... as always.


Its the risk taking that makes him interesting to watch. F1 would be a lot duller if we didnt have the risk takers in there. It is a shame however when he starts to blame other people, but then what F1 driver doesnt these days. Fair play to Webber for apologising for taking Hamilton out though. Thought he was gonna blame Hamilton for breaking too hard!

No I did not say that Lewis was better than the team, the operative word here is 'team' and I feel he was let down by his team. I have never spoken out before, but I also think Lewis has been let down badly by these duff tyre change calls and this problem has been going on inside McLaren for some time. I do feel that the 2008 championship was nearly lost for Lewis on these tyre changes. When the refuelling was stopped and I knew pitting and winning was going to be down to these tyre changes it made me worry and that is a direct result of McLaren's history.

Lewis will get over this, it happens to all racing drivers and I agree with that, well it happens to the passionate ones anyhow and I really get fed up of people taking pot shots at him, they have been doing this from day 1 and it is getting a tad tedious now.

I also agree that Vettel should have had better in both races, I like Vettel but I think he lacks that winners hunger that drivers like Lewis, Shumacher, Alonso and Massa etc have. (IMHO of course)

Mclaren screwed Hamilton over.

The Common sense decision was to stay out on track. Simple.

I would have slapped that Whitmarsh across his face with a two by four for making a decision like that.


I wouldn't have, everyone makes mistakes. Whitmarsh has admitted it was a bad call. Whitmarsh probably makes a hell of a lot less mistakes than most people.

You think the team complain to the drivers just after they make a mistake and crash? What Lewis did was wrong, he should discuss it in private with his engineers after the race, whining during the race helps no one. All it would do is distract his focus on trying to get past Alonso. When Alonso spoke to his engineer he was clearly stressed, but still conveyed a useful message "I don't want to know" - in other words I'm aware Lewis is storming up to me and don't want you telling me that, I'll deal with it myself.

Lewis's tone was petulant and whiny.

Eh? Alright my grammar and stuff probably is incredibly shoddy, I'll reword then.

Lewis shouldn't have been whining over the radio, he should've got on with the race and talked about the decision after in private.
