TBH Longbow I wud luv to c heiki with a different team able to challenge. I also have my reservations about heiki but I still feel mclaren is not allowing this guy to get anywhere. then there the ban on testing - really not helping anybody, alas it appears to be preventing growth in most of the upcoming guys abilities.
I am willing to bet you that while we know heiki has already come out and said mclaren not giving him the advantages they give hammie moer about this issue will come out in due course.
Why is it that heiki is always a lot heavier than captain invincable ?? mccheaters has been donig it the whole season i think.
Captain-Invincible seems to prefer 2 stop and HK likes longer stints also this way McLaren have both strategies covered this way.
thats what mclaren is saying. I think its their way of keeping the two apart on track.. and then they say heiki doesnt perform
Any time Kovalainen has been given the so-called better strategy, he's bungled it. I would give Kovalainen as few responsibilities as possible. The guy is a loser and is lucky to even still be at a team like McLaren.
In terms of the race, McLaren have performed a lot better than expected, though I think the Red Bull's race pace could be slightly better. However, Vettel has made some gaffes this season and with Brawn's ineptitude \and gutless attitide rearing their heads yet again, he could be a little conservative, especially going into the first corner. Toyota's perfomance is decent, though they probably based their car around this track, so desperate are they for some kind of performance. I expect Trulli to fade away over the race, both because of his own abilties and the limitations of his car. With the quanity of fuel Rosberg has on board, he could be a contender for a podium spot.
The absense of testing is really starting to show and I do believe heiki has a lot more potential than we seeing at the moment. many of the rookies as well is suffering under this same rules that forbids inseason testing. F1-live has a topic where hamilton seems to be afraid to have a better team mate. kimi wont allow them to shortchange him like mclaren is doing to heiki most of the time. what say you ??
For a start i don't think Hamilton:
1. Has a say in who he gets as his team mate
2. is scared of Kimi he beat Alonso as a rookie in the same car..
I don't understand why do you keep bring this up, Why would Mclaren screw Hekki over?
Hekki is an average F1 driver at best he was ok at the end of 2007 but has been completely average since.
He is a very fast one lap driver but over race distance he is not consistent enough.
At Monza 09 he set the fastest lap fuel corrected now if we were on 2010 rules Hekki would of had the Monza pole.
He was in arguably the fastest car that day with the prime strategy so in a way the lewis was on the back foot.
But he went backwards almost from the start, now he set the Q3 lap in PARC femme conditions meaning Mclaren could not change the car, so how did Mclaren loose that race for him?
