A stat for all the stat junkies. (Mnm - where are you?)

Lewis Hamilton has completed 169 racing laps out of a possible 224 this year.

Of those, he has spent 164 in the lead (97%)

I am impressed mate, did you do the maths yourself?

He had a little time on his hands!

No I'd course not. Cut N Paste from SkyF1. Only people with little friends or real social life has time to compile F1 stats.

You know, Lewis fans get kinda bored whilst he was leading so much so they looked else where for stimulus.

You know, I don't think I'd be bored if Alonso were leading that much!!
Maybe we should ask them to switch places, just as a little experiment?

Alonso is perfectly welcomed to go to McLaren. Not all moves a driver makes, going to a different team pan out as they hoped.

There's a certain excitement to Hamilton's success this year because, despite his immense talent, if we know anything from his time in F1 it's that he's bound to mess it up at some point, and that point is always imminent.

My first reactions was: !
But, then I thought, well, isn't that an interesting observation!

Pretty harsh for the support thread.

It's an English sort of support. With MS and Vettel there was, at the start of every w/e, a dull inevitability to proceedings. You never doubted they wouldn't get the job done.

Hamilton, with a similar advantage, you feel will find a way to stuff it up because across the sporting board that's generally what we do. We lack sustained mental toughness.

So as much as people bitch on about a Merc romp there's an internal drama when I watch Hamilton, that as good as he appears to be doing it could all be gone in a second, leaving us of heavy heart and thwarted hope.

All drivers can and do screw up at some time, they just can't reach the dizzy heights that Hamilton reaches before doing so.

I'm sorry to say, but I kinda agree.

I won't have a heavy heart lewis is a great driver. I just prefer rosberg. It seems I'm always preferring (what the points show as) the second best driver in the team........... oh well. ONWARD AND UPWARD, PASTOR MALDONADO!! I already said lewis is a great driver so there's my support

[Roth]

You're a Vettel supporter then.

It's kinda true, but this year his car is so dominant he could spin and lose 10 places and have them back before people can start claiming he can't think or something.

I would love to see a mercy work up the grid. It would be like bottas Australia but better!!!!!

That I believe was more McLaren's doing than Hamilton's. Today, he held up pretty well against the Rosberg onslaught even giving away two seconds in the pits. A lot of drivers would have choked under the pressure Rosberg has put on, both in Bahrain and here in Barcelona. So far Lewis has come out on top both times. Sorry to go against the stiff upper lip expectations.
