Some of Whitmarsh's thoughts (soz if repost):
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh warned Lewis Hamilton to curb his aggression after he finished fourth in the Turkish Grand Prix.
Hamilton made an error trying to pass Mark Webber on the first lap and dropped to sixth place behind his team-mate Jenson Button. The pair ran close for much of the first stint, with Hamilton passing Button on lap six but then losing the place again a lap later as his first set of tyres went off. Whitmarsh said that with this season's Pirelli tyres Hamilton would have to choose his battles.
"We want Lewis to attack but sometimes it does not pay off," Whitmarsh said. "If you look at Lewis's race pace it was OK later in the race but the tyres are so delicate and if you scrap with others including your own team-mate you will damage your tyres. In a race that critical you can't do that."
Hamilton himself admitted he had been overeager on the first lap of the race, and that it compromised the rest of his afternoon.
"If I hadn't damaged the tyres at the beginning, we would have been a lot closer," Hamilton said. "The beginning was a disaster so it was damage limitation really. The race is not won at the first two corners. I was impatient and that was my fault but it was a good recovery."
Ultimately it was a disappointed weekend for McLaren as Hamilton finished over half a minute behind third placed man Fernando Alonso, and Button struggled to sixth on a three-stop strategy. Whitmarsh said the lack of competitiveness was down to the team being unable to prepare all of the planned upgrades in time.
"Frankly we didn't bring all the developments we wanted here so we weren't quite as quick as we wanted to be, and when you're not you lose places," he told the BBC. "We didn't quite achieve what we wanted in qualifying, then if you then lose places at the start of the race it's very difficult to recover from that."
Kamui Kobayashi believes he could have finished as high as seventh in the Turkish Grand Prix had he not been forced to make an early second pitstop after picking up a puncture in a brush with Sebastien Buemi's Toro Rosso.
Sauber driver Kobayashi had started only 23rd following his fuel system problem right at the start of qualifying. But he managed to make a three-stop strategy work and rose as high as fifth in his first stint.
He felt that the early second stop then required after the collision cost him crucial ground and left him only able to salvage a single point for 10th.
"It was a lot of fun today, I really enjoyed this race," he said. "I found overtaking here a lot easier than last year in Hungary. Before the race I had promised Peter [Sauber] to score points today. It is just one point now because we lost so much time due to a puncture, which was the result of touching Sebastien Buemi when I overtook him. Otherwise I think I could have finished seventh and scored more points.
"The car was great and also the team had a very good strategy for me, so I want to thank them for this. In the end I had to be a bit careful and save the tyres, because the last stint was quite long with 20 laps, but it worked out well."
Sauber's other driver Sergio Perez recovered to 14th after breaking his front wing when he hit Pastor Maldonado's Williams on the opening lap.
"We had a good pace today and I clearly had a chance to score my first points," said the Mexican. "It is a real shame what happened on the first lap. Pastor Maldonado was braking quite hard in front of me and I couldn't avoid hitting him. I broke my front wing and had to pit. Apart from that I found it quite difficult to manage the tyres - both compounds actually - but the car was really good."
I didn't realise Kobayashi had this problem (amidst all the action!), pretty annoying...
Two things,
First helps confirm my sneaky suspicion Whitmarsh isnt much of a Hamilton fan.
Second part on Kobayashi, i got in there first
, nobody here cares cause theyre too busy arguing over whos virtual man-sausage is bigger.
Shame he punctured tyre, seriously finishing 10th with a sauber, starting DEAD last, whilst suffering a puncture, is far more impressive then starting 6 places from last, in a red bull, and finishing 3rd. Nobody seems to care though
Alain Prost - Lewis Hamilton - Kamui Kobayashi - Fernando Alonso - Kimi Raikkonnen - Jenson Button
with Button and we don't know Lewis' long term status. 
but yeah, being on to beat the Renaults from the back is very good, new tyres or not. And looking at the gaps, he could even have gotten close to Button!
