Small changes in track conditions can count for a lot as far as an F1 car is concerned.

2 car lengths ahead of a world champion in the same car is pretty telling, even Vettel is nowhere near that much faster than his teammate and we all know what Seb did to him last year in the battle

At Monaco Jenson went fastest in FP2, so he has no excuses come quali that he cant find the grip or balance

He was the only one to get a proper lap on the Super Softs. It was too greasy after that. And to add to that - he even said in an interview after that his lap wasn't that great anyway.

Setup changes are allowed especially for rain, anyway its the same for everyone else, yes some cars might suffer proportionally more but still it shouldn't be the reason for a top driver to have the type of drive he had last time out

Not once in parc ferme, tiny adjustments are allowed Sunday morning if its wet but overall setup changes?

[The Second Coming]

Well well, seems McLaren are coming to terms with how much Lewis is desperately needed as a key part of the team's future—a new contract in excess of £100 million appears to be on offer for his continued services. (That's before any bonuses for Championships and obviously does not include personal sponsorship deals). Granted, this has to be considered speculation for now since it hasn't been signed yet. I for one would love to see this marriage continue.

I'm just saying...

Ofcourse no further changes are made once in parc ferme apart from rain. Jenson has a car he can work with this weekend, its fundamentally sound and with his experience he should have no need to moan about the car if he is slower than others, any changes in condition will be the same for the others, he will just not have been as fast as others

I couldnt find grip? Find it Jenson
I had no balance? Adapt Jenson

Anyway he even has a slight advantage over the rest as he actually use the new tyres in dry conditions

no doubt it is a smoke screen put out by someone to either ward of other teams because of the amount of money, or it is being used as "Mcalren will pay him this, how much you going to pay him?"

I know this might be a bit of a contraversal one, but could Lewis be becoming the next Stirling Moss. Always there or there abouts but never actually winning the title (again)

[racechick]

Jeez I hope not.

Not really,the car has not been up to scratch since 2008,its as simple as that.

The same could be said about Jenson,could it not?

The season has a long way to run but you would not be a smart betting man if you really think Lewis will never win another WDC.

Put your money where your mouth (or text?) is and let us know how it goes

[CookinFlat6]

I have no sympathy and look forward to him assuming his natural position, bleating about 'finding balance' and coming behind better drivers like LH, FA,KR, KK,SP,PM,NR, BS, SV. He should beat Massa though

Great close quali, well done Lewis, Merc and Webber
Well done Jenson for not moaning about balance or grip and for just admitting the car felt good earlier and he just wasnt good enough

[Hammer278]

He's moaned enough for 1 season, hopefully he does better from 12th than his 11th in Barcelona and gains at least 2 positions in the race.

[The Ram]

I was delighted with Jenson's performance today. Right where I want him.

[andrew]

What you going to do to him? You sound like an obsessive fan by saying he's just where you want him.

Not close to as obsessed as you are of Lewis!
