u got tht right

[Kimi_Hamilton]

Hamilton was brilliant, so happy for him, and the fact he now leads the WDC.

I cant believe Raikkonen wasnt penalized after he ran into the back of Sutil. If a McLaren would have hit Sutil, it would have been a different story.

Kimi couldnt really go anywhere tho, so was unavoidable tbh. Its crap so it is, terrible! LOL i wonder how many Force India fans will turn out at Silverstone this year, im tempted to fly the flag with my 8m flagpole

I like this story about Vettel.

Sebastian Vettel leaps into Monte Carlo harbour : -

Scuderia Toro Rosso Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel proved his good humour late on Sunday afternoon by marking his fifth place in the Monaco Formula One Grand Prix with a swim in the Monte Carlo harbour.

The German youngster, who lists British comedies Little Britain and Monty Python as amongst his personal favourites, stripped off to his shorts and leapt from Red Bull's water front facility after scoring his team's first points of the season

I forgot to add that the article is wrong about scoring the teams first points in the season, because Bourdais picked up 2 points in AUS.

Maybe it was "The power of the bling" which bought him luck Clicky

I'm actually pretty surprised that McLaren bothered to test the diamonds to make sure they were aerodynamically sound, but then again, I suppose every fraction of a second counts!

Did Hamilton really deserve to win? I have mixed feelings...

Yes, because... his middle stint (i.e. between the first safety car period and his pitstop) was absolutely breathtaking. Right on the money and in a class of his own. (Admit it AKR, if it had been Schumacher in a Ferrari doing the exact same thing you would be having multiple orgasms and starting posts saying it was "an example of when the best thing happens to F1 as a sport") McLaren's quick thinking in the pits turned a crisis into a race-winning strategy and they deserved their win.

No, because... he hit the wall, and the sadist in me feels that any mistakes at Monaco should be punished.

Right on! Modern F1 cars seem too strong, im sure Hamilton and Alonso's accidents would have put them out of the race :S

And yeah middle stint was impressive, Hamilton is an amazing driver, he's not complete though, still makes alot of mistakes. All of the drivers do

Did you guys hear that Ferrari was so impressed with BMW's fast pit stops, that they sent someone to videotape BMW's pit stop during testing at Paul Ricard? I guess you can call that spying.

[nikon133]

that was brilliant!!! On the edge of my seat throughout!

I was just swearing and cursing througout the race! Idi u trie pičke materinu Hamilton!

You know, swearing in language that most people don't understand doesn't really make it OK... though I was told it is common practice in, err, that part of the world...

[nikon133]

Man what an exciting race!!! I'm happy with Robert, and I feel bad for Sutil because he had one excellent run. Man that was an exciting race

Yeah, I almost hated Kimi for taking Sutil out. Ferrari should pay that lost money to Team India

[Rivelution]

They really deserved those 5 points too. I wonder if Kimi feals bad, wait nevermind he probably already forgot.

[nikon133]

From 2nd place back, a great race.

The winner though makes my blood boil cos it just gives Allen more excuses to make the Senna comparison. Sacrilege of the highest order.

Now that you mentioned that... I did mute my TV after first hour or so. His worship of LH is bordering religious fanaticism

[nikon133]

I agree, Bud. I haven't yet come across someone who has what I would consider to be a valid reason for hating Lewis. In fact, that's the case with most driver-hating people I have come across. Not all, but the vast majority. Same goes for teams, too.

That said, a lot of people who are indifferent to Hamilton (i.e. acknowledge that he has talent but don't like (or dislike) him) seem to get thrown in with the haters, which I find to be a little harsh.

Hear, hear. I'd only like to add - only people who hate can presume others hate as well.

F1 is just good fun for me and I don't hate fun. Hating someone in F1 is like hating a character in great video game. Do I like LH? No. Do I hate him? No. Do I criticize him? Yes, because I think there's more about him to criticize at the moment than any other current driver. Will I accept that I have been wrong in a year or two time, if LH proves not to be the way I see him now? Hell yes.

It's that simple. But some people simply think if you don't love someone, you must hate him.
