Why did the Merc chief mechanic in the pre podium room, before the ceremony, say to Lewis, "sorry about that stop" ?
His stops looked good...


1 stop later, they had planned to give it 1 lap apart for pitstops but after Lewis' sick lap when Nico went in, Merc did not box him the very next lap since they thought he still had the pace. Though the rears couldn't take 2 straight hot laps and it was something understood during practice by Merc but they took the gamble with Lewis, only to assist him but it didn't work out. I don't think it warranted an apology from his race team though.

I was shocked Lewis got that 7s gap back to nothing. Amazing pace but that mistake was not a minor one, his biggest by far this season. Credit to Nico not pissing his overalls this time, he really held his own so a very well deserved win. But Lewis had some serious pace once again though that mistake neutralized the advantage.

As Brazilian Grand Prix go; I thought this was somewhat dull, Lewis is such an amateur, spinning his car like that.... (that's a joke BTW ;-) ). Decent drive from Jenson today, I would say he got the best out of the McLaren package today, even with Massa's issues, the McLaren wasn't even close to the Williams. The story of Interlagos really is tyres, Pirelli should have stuck to their guns and brought the soft and hard, Brazil has always been an abrasive track and it seems resurfacing have done nothing to change that.

Thanks, I wish Lewis had come in then ...instead of doing another lap,it would have been better for him, Merc took a gamble :thumbdown: no wonder Lewis looked a bit miffed.

Button has actually looked like a racing driver ever since he's been unofficially fired by McLaren. (not a joke btw :wink: )

Good steady race by Rosberg, showed us - and himself - that he could take the pressure without cracking. Today though it was Lewis's turn to crack with a massive slide (a good job he saved that car or he would be a point down right now) that gave Rosberg the victory.

Rosberg is carrying big momentum into the AbuDhabiDouble.

Nice fight between Alonso and Raikkonen in the closing laps, Kimi did an amazing job with those old tires. Also the lack of an order definitely shows that Alonso has moved on!

Yeah, poor Jenson, he is maybe only just starting to understand that he needs to be qualifying as well as he has ever done and out qualifying his rookie teammate EVER single weekend this year, unfortunately I think his goose is cooked, because despite showing flashes of what he can do the fact its only started recently with hi P45 in sight will be held against him by the likes of Ron

Mag really needs to be doing better at this stage of his rookie season

first time I ever saw ferrari teammates racing, for a few laps anyway

Lol it was a weird sight seeing 2 red cars actually racing. I actually felt lucky being able to witness this moment in F1.

Fun watching the Ferrari's fight without orders.

Not sure about that at the end of the battle though - looked like KR let FA through w/o much fighting anymore.

But he was on 20 lap older tyres, maybe he couldn't hold out any longer. Maybe ?

Lewis didn't crack. That wasn't cracking, that was pushing like mad on tyres that will only take it for one lap.

And I'd say Rosberg has gained a little ground in the push and pull game. Big momentum? No. Not the way Lewis closed that gap.

Sky post race interviews...Nico is gabbling garbage....he is saying ...he needs some help from somebody in Abu Double...anybody a Williams or somebody..... :eek:

Which is correct: if he wins, he needs somebody else than LH to be second. If LH ends up 3rd, NR would win the championship by 3 points.

I never saw anyone in second place cracking under the pressure of having to come second, I learn more about psychology from F1 expertz than from silence of the lambs :rofl:

I was thinking about Felipe...& his 2011 encounters with Lewis, when he was at Ferrari with FA....
