Lol at Hamilton.
Schumacher did great.
Lucky Alonso.
Massa needs to buck up fast, he's hurting team points situation.

Why laugh at Hamilton? he was the only one taking it to the red bulls.

I just found the whole situation funny. Here he is the best driver so far this season, and still finished behind Button, and lastly i don't even like him.

Well yes, I gathered the 'lastly' point

What i found instresting is that Lewis had to constantly keep requesting flags to be show to lapped drivers.

Bias from the Spanish Marshells perhaps?

The Spanish are the worst sports in the world of F1, they are a disgrace!

Thats harsh and making a sweeping generalization.

He also said it was dangerous because the back end cars were way way too slow. I saw few times blue flags being waved, so i don't think it was anything deliberate. We all know Lewis is prone to be irritated quite quickly as well.

Hamilton lost all those points because he wore the front left tire. There's not much to say there,

His tyres were fine it was a wheel rim failure.

I can't now see how anyone other than a Red Bull is really going to win in Monaco bar another completely crazy race. They have so, so much more downforce than everyone else. Question is, can Mark Webber get some consistency?

hmm not really. Monaco is not a full downforce track... there's some very good chance for Mclaren and maybe Ferrari. Unless Red Bull has a great package only for Monaco. Turkey is another story...... as it is now, it looks to be another Red Bull

Monaco is a full downforce track dude. They stick on all the downforce they possibly can without really worrying about drag.

Indeed, the Red Bull might just be brilliant at making the downforce/drag trade off, without actually having as much total potential for grip at the other cars (hence why i mentioned Toyota @ last year - their car was like that) but who would honestly believe that is the case with that car and it's designer? I am hoping that Ferrari and McLaren can match them for the sake of good racing but that's all... hoping.

Never an exciting race but there were a lot of great drives today.
5. Jenson drove the whole race without a dashboard so he couldn't even see his revs or what settings his car was on.

Wow. Must have been difficult, specially cause he had a busy race behind Schumacher and with Massa around....

6. Alguersuari put the car in points even with a drive through penalty.

Yeah, he's had a couple of very good races this season...

7. Hamilton drove brilliantly with a lovely move on Vettel he managed his tyres well and managed the fastest lap only to be let down at the 2nd to last lap when his Enkei wheel rim failed.

it was the rim, not the tire?? i saw the tire; so it was the same as Heikki's problem???
Still, not an "unlucky" situation..... more to do with how the Mclaren handles. i still think Lewis wore his tire or overstressed the front whell and caused the problem.

Lewis really drove the wheels off that Mclaren today.....

a forged rim cannot be over driven mate, it would have been something deep within the metal that compounded by the stress let go. nothing to do with Lewis' driving. I know its hard for the haters to admit it.

Er No he didnt. The tyre Was being monitored-it was fine and Lewis wasnt pushing.

Where's anti-Hamiltonisn in what I said?
But anyway, Hamilton sucks footballs. Now that's more like it.

yeah, that's what i meant. Not a full aero, as in Aerodynamic efficiency. In other words, you dont need a great stable car with a fantastic downforce to drag ratio... just stick all the downforce you can, and hope the others hit the barriers...... anyone can do that

Was a rim failure if you watch a replay it's quite clear they expect it was most likely debris that caused it. The team were not even worried about the tyres and Lewis said that he was cruising just managing the gap to Alonso.

Well done RBR, Mark deserved his win. Seb nursed that car very well, I heard radio transmissions several times to him warning of the brake failure, the last one to say it was 'Critical'

Gutted for Lewis today, but as he said in post race "Thats motor racing"

Wasnt pushing... he got the Fastest lap, about...... how many laps before he crashed?
You're right; he wasnt pushing. he gets Fastest laps without even trying.

mate you deliberately not reading or just wanting it to be a Hamilton f*** up? see what i mean about Vultures....

Failure of rims has nothing to do with pushing too hard. a tyre will fail before the rim simple!
