WOW @ this extended coverage. They're showing LH's start of the race now.

Yeah, this F1 forum is really good - lots of in depth analysis and superb interviews.

Lewis overtook originally under the safety car when Truli went off track, Truli re gained that position a while later, explaining the position changes.

Gay.

Push the red button!
It should load.

Wonder if Lewis will be awarded 3rd then?

Lenny Kravtiz is still annoying though, he needs to go.

Chances on FIA making a decision to help Mclaren + Hamilton?

Hamilton did great at the start judging from that clip!

Technically no and being F1, no......but we shall see.

Superb race!

I'd put a few quid on Vettel to win on thursday at good odds so I was jumping up and down with excitement when Jenson fluffed the pit stop then facepalming as Kubica and Vettel had their little coming together :rolleyes:

Might be, hopefuly not though. Its a bit too generous for such an average weekend from him

Thing is, the people who talk to them know their faces, I cant see Whitmarsh talking to a random who wandered up, yet he knows Kravitz so would be happy to have a chat with him, thats why they kept him on I thinks.

Do you not get the multi-channel selection?

I completely disagree. I've always enjoyed Ted Kravitz and he's always in the right place at the right time and manages to stick his mic under the right peoples noses.
I'm missing Louise Goodman though!

Not with an inferior car and comparing his performances (not results) in his 2 years in F1 he was a far more accomplished driver in his debut year than last year - he (and McLaren) made quite a lot of unforced schoolboy errors which meant the championship went to the line...

So hes already proven second time round that he unlikely to be a bit calmer - especially with such a relatively poor car...

oh really ?

and just for those that missed it. My original post

thing is, Hamilton has played this game before, he fought his way up the grid numerous times in GP2

so ive no idea where this habit of him being crap under pressure has come from. He's shown he can handle it before, but now he's in an F1 car, it all seems to have gone out the window.

With any luck, now he's prooved himself and won it once, he will be a bit calmer second time round.

I think he's prooved a lot with his drive today.
