I support lewis beating the out of vettel to the first corner, followed closely by mark webber, in a few hours' time.

thread rerailed!!

[racechick]

I'll support that view of yours

If you think its silly you dont have to contribute.

Well it is ment to be a Lewis Hamilton support thread ,How about we have a " McLaren are horrid to Lewis thread " then maybe the Lewis Hamilton support thread could be about supporting him,rather than nit picking at any interview a McLaren employee might give.

What this guy/gurl said....

So.... to get back on thread.....

I really hope Lewis has 'The Fingered One' on the first corner today. Closely followed by Button and Webber.....

[racechick]

Yep, be good.

I don't think the thread is silly. I think some of the conclusions jumped to on the flimsiest of assumptions are beyond belief.

[racechick]

Well thats your opinion and you're entitled to it.....just as I'm entitled to mine.

All perfect stops for Button today. Lewis lost 17seconds in the pits. And didnt get choice pit stop when he was in the lead. Race ruined.

Surely you're not suggesting that Hamilton is being screwed by McLaren again?

Is that despite Button having a cracked exhaust that meant he couldn't finish the race?

I think Mclaren have serious pitstop problems. That was just not good enough.All that effort on a Sat to qualify well all undone.Amaturish. They wont win anything like that for either driver. But no I dont think that was a deliberate nobble, of course not. Not pitting hamilton first when his tyres had gone and he asked to come in, thats a different thing.

Did HAM ask to come in? I don't remember that radio message, both drivers were struggling with tyres, McLaren were nowhere today, even without the pitstop blunders, I don't think anything higher than sixth was going to be likely, McLaren were off the pace and poor strategy/pit stop blunders, disappointing race for McLaren! I'll give then a B- MUST TRY HARDER!

[racechick]

He'd radioed to say the rear tyres were going, both drivers did. I think without those three botched pitstops lewis would hsve finished 4th. He had more pace than Button today and set fastest lap after one of his pitstops. A B- You are generous. I'd give them an E for that...and thats not an E for effort!!

[myownalias]

I can't comment on the pit stop priority situation; the messages we hear on the air are misleading, often being out of context, who radioed about tyres first is anyone's guess!
