I knew all that bollocks would be coming out as soon as a bad moment surfaced. The situation has not even been understood. McLaren wouldn't have said "stop the car" if it was fine. As for the crash, that's down to the drivers.

Hope we get this going again, as the rain is brutal atm.


Time for another while we wait :drink::D
Lewis had pace and if he could of got back to the pits with possibility of Red Flag then I don't understand why they told him to stop.

Just another case of McLaren letting Lewis and themselves down.
I suspect they were doing a little damage limitation...

after all... he had duck his car on the side of his teamates car and a wall... bits were falling off of it... and he chose to drive on across grass and obstacles, into the path of other racing teams.... perhaps McC were ever so slightly worried that they had a dangerous dummy-dropping, pram-tipping liability at the wheel.

maybe?

The thing is team orders are allowed and you would think someone might of said to Button that was the case that Lewis was running quicker.

Team McLaren should really work on their communication.

I couldn't believe it was Jenson who had the cheek to say "What is he doing???" You bloody :censored: you moved across!!!!

McLaren have let him down a lot and how long do you put up with it.

Lewis would know if his suspension was buggered and he said he could of still got it back to the pits for them to have a look. They didn't tell him to stop on track in Monaco when the rear of his car was much more messed up.

Ok I'm confused...was lewis the car at front or was it jenson? Whoever is the car at front is at fault IMO because the car behind had nowhere else to go while the car at front had 1 whole lane on his right...I initially thought that lewis was the one at front but I'm not so sure now...

You can see it with 2 points of view! Button closed him, but only once, Hamilton wasn't through, he should have chosen the other line.The other is that Lewis was way faster, Button knew it, they are in the same team... We'll see...
#260196
Lewis was clearly quicker but Mclaren will not issue team orders. Its up to the drivers to get past. As far as McLaren are concerned it was a racing incident. Im concerned about the decision to stop lewis though, it was premature to say the least.

It was Jenson in front man.....I can't believe anyone blaming Lewis for that stupid collision. Jenson was crazy, and he actually blamed Lewis for that the little :censored:

Must say that Jenson made a mistake going into the final corner and knew full well Lewis would be coming,He did look in his mirrors just before Lewis came out of the slip stream.Probably just couldn't see him.

Lewis was way faster than Button and Button moved in on him when he should of been looking in his mirror.
oh that's just silly, he can't be looking everywhere at once because he happens to have a idiot driving behind him.

lewis is not as fantastic as people are making out he is. he drove dangerously at monaco and he did so in these conditions today.

jenson drove as he had to to the conditions and protected his line.
