Yep think your right , his hands move up to cover his head , i assumed they was below the wheel

No onboard from Kob. Same as the Maldonado incident yesterday. Hmm.

Lunatic Dreyfus · 28 Aug 2011 at 13:35

Not entirely sure I'd blame Lewis (unless it was for not paying attention to his mirrors), but I wouldn't be blaming Kobayashi either.

Cracking race so far though.

why does the safety car have a passenger, whats he actually there for

You cant just throw your front wing alongside the person in front and force them off the racing line can you?

No, Kobayashi can't. Hamilton was ahead and on the inside line... So he was meant to stop to let Kobayshi through?

The impact was between Kobayashi's front and Hamilton's rear.

Lewis onboard looked like he just got swiped. Will have to see what it looks like from Kobi's car.

Shame you don't just get racing incidents these days as I wouldn't want Kobi to get a penalty for it.

C'mon FFS! It's not like McLeish just destroyed the barrier, it's barely broken!

Edit: No, I meant McNish

Looks after the radio's, lights and so on. Leaves the driver to drive. And Maylander has been loving it this weekend. Drifting it though corners.

He operates the lights and relays information back to the race director.

ham is an aggressive overtaker so it's his fault. fool

Suprise Hamilton sweaping statement shocker!

MagicBoy · 28 Aug 2011 at 13:38

Lewis feinted left to take the line for the corner, not realising that Kob was overlapping. Lewis' fault IMO, he shouldn't have covered the inside then moved back left without knowing it was clear.

For gods sake.

Hamilton is having no luck at all and Vettle wins out of this AGAIN.

If Vettle wins today that is it for the season, might just give up now :/

hammy just never learns, keeps putting himself in situations that he doesn't have total control of and wonders why it all goes wrong..

Passenger looks to be about the right age for Werthers.

The DRS zone is so easy even Vettel manages to get past people.
