McLaren - As I've said before, they have the fastest car around now. Lewis can use it and their #1 driver for next year still can't put it on the podium. Their #2 driver has a lot of developing to do to become a #2 in a top line team. They face the prospect next year that, even if they produce the fastest car and run sound tactics and great team work they can expect 4ths and 5ths.

Button's weekend backfired in Q2, through no fault of his own.

You are no part of the race, and should not be impeding drivers and teams who a good enough to actually be on the lead lap racing....Big Azza wrote:......What trait, being on the track?
However, Karthikeyan should receive heavy punishment as a warning to other drivers like Glock... that this is an unacceptable trait that needs to be ironed out.
AKR wrote:Lewis won. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood.The world can be such a painful place to live and opinions can turn on you from one week to another. Next week, Vettel DNFs early on in the race causing all his fans to bite their nails into stubs through out the race. Webber and Kimi come in 1-2 and Hamilton takes the last step on the podium passing Alonso on the last lap.
If somehow as a result of this, Alonso becomes world champion. Then forever all Ferrari and Alonso fans should be greatful to Lewis.
Big Azza wrote:I would think he is the most experienced person on the grid at lapping people (apart from Schumacher), so if he has a problem with backmarkers then it must be a valid issue....This is beyond BS. You haven't even seen the race (after all F1 is just qualifying to you) and Vettel failed to overtake a backmarker quick enough and suddenly its the backmarkers fault because Vettel is 'experienced' in lapping backmarkers?? Well, get this, Karthikeyan is one hell of an experienced backmarker, so if Vettel can't find a way around him who's the idiot here??
Big Azza wrote:I did watch the race... I just can't remember paying attention to Karthikeyan, and am yet to see a replay as to how he may have impeded Vettel. And I said the word IF... If Karthikeyan is found to be at fault, then it warrants further punishment.I don't really see how you can blame him. Short of going off the track entirely, there really wasn't anything more that he could have done.
As I have said... Well done to Lewis for winning today.
