The hot lapper on pole then.
Hopefully Lewis gets him on the first corner.

That will go to the FIA and no doubt result in some serious penalties.

They really should park him for that.

Funny how if that was Legard at the end there, there would be 50 posts of "FFS Leggard :rolleyes:

Hope he does ... the road rage was quite entertaining

What was the quote from earlier

" They shouldn't be taking this out on the race track " :confused:

What do you suggest ? Put on a pair of boxing gloves on instead ?

Button, voice was quivering and lot of moisture in eyes, not quite tears.

From what I saw, Hamilton also moved into Maldo (by turning right, into him), when he didnt need to.

Yes, watching the replay, Hamilton did move across slightly when he didn't need to. Doesn't justify Maldonado's actionts though!

IT is very strange to watch because Maldanado doesn't actually turn into hamilton, and Hamilton does turn into him, but thats due to the curve in the straight, essentially Maldanado to continue on the same line, knowing full well Hamilton was there, would have to turn, and he just didn't.

It looks very odd because of that, but its definately Mal's fault.

Great final laps, good from Hamilton, were Webber's tyres done by that final lap( I didn't see, did Vettel come out a little later or go easier for a couple laps?), what happened to Alonso 3 seconds down is nuts.

I can say something if you want, but I'm sure you al must know my hate of the BBC commentary team.

Vettel was 0.4 seconds faster in the first sector alone and it only has one breaking point. Wonder if Hamilton's car was damaged too much from Maldonado...

utajoker · 27 Aug 2011 at 14:14

no press confrence??

Kenai · 27 Aug 2011 at 14:14

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Hamilton get a slap on the wrist for that, he had no reason to dart across the right as Maldonado started to overtake.

I suspect Maldonado was just returning that favour but Hamilton starts to move right again and so they collided.

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

But...but...they have a world class team of people who are locked in a room with a super computer. Their sole job is to come up with the optimal strategy.
