Ekona Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Fair play to Lewis for not commenting or complaining about it like Alcocko has done: Last year he'd have shouted his mouth off and ranted, this year he's just got his head down and carried on.

Yeah Hamilton seems to be in a good place this year. shame the team let him down this weekend. Looks like he's trying to play the Alain Prost points game but i think he's to 'old-skool racer' to resist a good overtake if it presents himself.

JetSet Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Also regarding Rosberg's incidents. At first i thought it was worthy of a penalty but having watched the replays, Rosberg was within his rights to defend the inside line and lewis was a bit cheeky carrying on overtaking off the track. He was not yet alongside Nico when he moved to the inside, a move which any racing driver would have done to defend the position. the rules clearly state that one move is allowed to defend, then you can move back onto the racing line. just because someone is closing on you doesnt mean you can no longer do it. Same with alonso. I watched the both of the GP2 races and this happened several times, if you have a tarmac run off then its bound to happen.

Ebized Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 A harsh decision IMO for Lewis. Williams now another contender for a win - a great change in fortunes for them since last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 A harsh decision IMO for Lewis. +1 Very harsh. 5 place drop may be but back of the grid? Mclaren are doing their very best at making mistakes, they will end up losing Lewis to another team at this rate. Simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'm so going off F1, the chamionships seem to be decided by the stewards more than the teams these days. Excluding Lewis from qualifying is a bit hash isn't it? Wouldn't a 10 place penalty or exclusion from Q3 be fairer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanageDave Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I Think that Lewis is getting really stuffed by Mclaren this year, what with the pit stops and now fueling him wrongly, i would tell em to F*** right off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Silly rule, but once again Lewis showing his maturity this year by accepting it and just getting on with it. Good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Silly rule, but once again Lewis showing his maturity this year by accepting it and just getting on with it.

CrumbMC Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 If the rule wasnt in place then all them teams would just fuel their cars enough to get over the line then it would be chaos on the in laps. Maybe a bit of a harsh penalty but the rules are there for everyone. McLaren just need to sort their act out they have been terrible this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well lets just hope that Lewis puts on a great show from his position and show's once again why i regard him the best and fastest racer on the grid ahead of Alonso! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 Well should be a cracking race tomorrow after qualifying today. Pity that Schumi got a grid penalty from the last race that demoted him from pole. Hoping for a Hamilton win tomorrow but will be difficult even from third. God knows what has happened to JB again in qualifying, and Maldonado should have been demoted to the back of the grid after his red mist actions in P3! Twice he has done this now Dont think Vettel will be too happy either especially with Webber bagging P1 And it looks like Alonso is in love with Hamilton again "Still, if I can tip one driver, I would pick him because he's the only one who can make a difference even with a car that is not a winner." http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/18221419 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Was an ok race but there wasnt really much racing going on. that said there never is at monaco. If you want to watch some real racing check out the GT1 world championship. I have been watching this series for a couple of years now and its by far the best racing i've ever seen. The races all get uploaded to youtube now so they're much easier to watch. 2 GT1 races per event. i'm just watching the qualifying one now really good racing with constant battles all through the pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 If it stays dry at Monaco then it's almost always a boring race. It's almost impossible to overtake a car that's 3 seconds a lap slower and zero chance of overtaking a car on a similar pace. Circuit has no place in the 21st century IMHO.

Beavis Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 One of the best bits of yesterday was the quip about Grace Kelly by Simon Lazenby! What was he thinking? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... death.html I have to say the Sky F1 team suck big style of late, the only decent two they have are Brundle and Kravitz the rest are knobs or just a bit of eye candy.
