shanghai. Lewis Hamilton's victory, despite a weekend McLarenin still does not have been perfect, it did stall in Shanghai incomprehensible errors. "But fortunately they do not Lewis happened to the car," Stall chief Ron Dennis sigh.
Heikki Hard sort of a birthday celebration stables instead ruined. The man's birthday cake was left aloittamattomana representation in the stable of holdings on the table, when a Finnish desire regale lost the race back attacks.
Kovalainen was well-off, got past Fernando Alonso and almost the mass.
"But I knew immediately that the car's mostly something is not working properly," Kovalainen said. So, Alonso immediately swept back on straight Kovalaisesta over.
The problem was that the team was installed the kind of hard around the front upside-down.
"They were marked wrong," Kovalainen said. "And unfortunately, they do not work at all, if they rotate the wrong direction."
Once the first pit at a standstill much stall did not know what this is all about. Wrong with trying to resolve this by changing the angle etusiiven. "But then the car went rickety," Kovalainen said.
Hard definitely sort of knocked-point battle the outbreak of the ring 35 round. Kisan end to the engine air pressure system vaurioon was no longer a blemish.
In practice, lost the stables of hard sort of problems contribute to the manufacturers championship, as Ferrari is the manufacturers' series McLarenia already 11 points ahead.
True enough. No need for histrionics. Find out why the mistake was made and ensure it doesn't happen again. It was very fortunate for McLaren and Lh that it didn't happen to him.
>>>This is where someone comes in and states that it's no surprise and that Heikki is treated like a human toilet by the rest of the team. It's a conspiracy and McLaren would forego winning the WCC rather than helping HK gain as many points as possible in an effort to keep up this ridiculous charade that LH has a modicum of talent<<<

I'd like to know if it was a case of a mechanic getting the left and right tyre mixed up and marking them wrong or if indeed they had been fitted on the wheels the wrong way round. In any case, this does suggest that they're not too concerned about how Kovalainen does cause no one even bothers to check if the tyres are on the right way. Shame on you Mclaren.
Hell, when I change tyres on my bike for a track day I double check to make sure that I've fitted the rubber on the wheel the right way.

You think they spend all the money they do on making improvements to the car and drivers only to "not even bother to check if the tyres are on the right way"??? It was a mistake. They happen. Look at the mistakes Ferrari have made in the pits this year. Do you think they did those on purpose? Statements like that are laughable!!

If you check and double check that a tyre is on the right way and you still get it wrong then that guy is incompetent and needs to be fired. How is Kovalainen supposed to trust them with his life if mistakes like this are done. Next time it might be a loose nut or a bolt securing something important and Kovalainen finds himself heading for another tyrewall at high speed.

It was an honest mistake you <EDITED FOR CONTENT>If you check and double check that a tyre is on the right way and you still get it wrong then that guy is incompetent and needs to be fired.

Why don't McLaren just not fire Kovalainen for not getting the job done this season?
Whoa, what's with the name calling? And how come you've turned it around like that? This thread is about a mistake the team made, not Kovalainen. If you want to talk about whether or not Kovalainen is doing a good enough job or if he should be fired start another thread.

You think the person who (supposedly) made this mistake should be fired (if he's from McLaren). Meanwhile, Kovalainen has underperformed this season. i.e. both of these people have not been doing their job properly, so should be fired, according to your logic.

I think Kovalainen has done ok for his first season in the team,considering he has been plagued with bad luck and handicapped by team tactics/mistakes. But again, different subject different thread.
