one stoppers like Kubica pitted 7 laps later than Hamilton and put on inters! which is about 10 minutes after Lewis and at that time it was meant to be raining again. So i think they made the right call because they couldnt do another stuff up like they did in Q2.
But in hindsight it would have been the better option

That's exactly it. If Hamilton pitted five or ten minutes later, he would have been on intermediate tyres and would have run the race. Bringing him for a second stop to put on intermediate tyres was the right thing to do.

The fact is, Hannah, that Kovalainen has not been doing the business for McLaren this season. He had a lot of bad luck at the start of the season and showed a hell of a lot of promise in his qualifying times. His race pace was poor, but McLaren came up with ways of improving this. Whereas Hamilton was able to implement the changes McLaren's engineers recommended to him, Kovalainen was not.

Compare HK's first two seasons to KR's. Not that different.

Quite so.

Hmm. I'm not so sure of that. When Raikkonen came to Formula One, relatively speaking, he had little experience of motorsports. On top of that, the cars he drove were far from perfect and the McLaren permanently broke down. Kovalainen's car has been more or less bullet proof and he has a lot more experience under his belt. Kovalainen has the required amount of raw speed to do reasonably well in Formula One, but his progress has been scandalously slow and there's something very à la David Coulthard about him.

Come on now, DD. Okay, his forehead is pretty big, but he's not this bad:

I wonder what Hannah is going to do when she comes across this. Not only have I slammed Kovalainen's driving, but now I've insulted his looks.

The Hoff's got a similar cranium

I didn't say HK is a cubehead, but his head is similarly weird. More like a wedgehead.
