Maldonardo hit him once when Hamilton passed him during qualifying and blamed Lewis clearly, total donkey.

Maldonado: He won't get the sack.
From what I saw, Hamilton also moved into Maldo (by turning right, into him), when he didnt need to...perhaps I am seeing this from a different point of view.

For Button fans: don't be down-hearted. On this track, pole position doesn't mean much and if we get a wet/damp race tomorrow, for me, Button (despite qualifying outside the top10), will be favourite.

I have to say that Monaco was not really Hamilton's fault. Maldonado is showing his inability to maintain awareness of those around him.

He had awareness, I can't see how that was anything but intentional.

Wtf at Maldonado. Its probably payback from what happened at Monaco :-O

Yeh the guy who did that in the FIA GT series a while back lost his license didn't he?

So, is that going to be a violation of article 151c?

Doesn't help that Maldonardo did this in front of his boss... Sir Frank is at the track this weekend.

Glaucus · 27 Aug 2011 at 13:58

Yeah Franks face was great.

Track just getting faster and button not doing final lap, possibly to help Lewis (rummour). Everyone was posting such fast times, just bumped him down from top to out.

Thanks

Can imagine they are regretting binning Hulk now.

what is article 151c?

So McLaren pulled Button in, thinking he was safely into Q3. Once again, world-class strategic thinking from the McLaren pitwall....*sigh*

Yeah a very different point of view to the rest of us.

NathanE · 27 Aug 2011 at 14:01

I hope Hamilton go gives that idiot a right talking to as soon as qually is finished.

utajoker · 27 Aug 2011 at 14:01

amazing how quick that track has dried out.

Seems like it. Going to make La Source a bit 'interesting' (in the Chinese sense of the word) for him tomorrow on the opening lap.
