Engine failures, mechanical problems and punctures. I felt for him on Sunday, and it was the poor lads birthday, if there was a god, he would have sent a couple of car thieves and nicked Massa's car the night b4 the race

I think a couple of 'left' and 'right' stickers would have made him happy, to be honest. Pre-race, of course.

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.

He's done better than his results would suggest but not well enough. Team tactics have not handicapped him, bad luck certainly has.

Yes,they have. Going into Q3 with fuel for several more laps than Hamilton is a big handicap.

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.

Bit like driving down the pit lane dragging your mechanics and refuelling hose behind you.
IT WAS A MISTAKE. THEY HAPPEN. And in this game yes mistakes may be costly. Its a risk all those involved are prepeared to take otherwise they wouldnt be in motor racing.

massas mechanics running down the pit lane was the funniest bit of the season, it was the time it took them to realise that was even funnier haha
