But Hamilton had to pit anyway, so it was unimportant, Mclaren were already waiting for him to come in.

What has that got to do with it. Would it then be rubbish if hammy didn't pit?

Vettel losing his luck at last.

Right lets see what Vettels really made of!

This is one race that should show what he's made made of.

No, because Alonso wouldnt have got close enough had Hamiltons tyres not been shot, Hamilton pitted too late for his tyres.

God, so that the only DRS over take this season that has been no skill and purely speed difference. I think not.. Of course it made a difference the speed difference allowed a total pass before breaking. Even with tyres. That was unlikely to happen.

Oh FCS I said "IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE ON THIS OCCASION"

I am not advocating DRS read what I wrote FFS.

of course it did Alonso gained time on the rest of the lap and would have been closer at the pit stop.

Dr Who said:
He didn't gain any time that lap, he had to brake earlier.

How didn't he, he was in front of hammy, before hammys pitstop. He gained an absolute minimum of a second.

They banned that after MSC did it.

However if it is a couple of seconds faster, then just keep adjusting the front wing, or is it only faster on a clear drive through.

Teams have been told they will be penalised if they try using the pitlane for advantage.

Makes sense.

Yep bridgestone was pit last, perelli you need to pit first, but not so early you can't make the finish line.

Dunno whose fault that was, the lollypop guy for raising the lollypop or the wheel guy for not saying the wheel wasn't ready?

Lolipop, wheel man didn't put his hand up did he.

That loose wheel threw his car right off balance

There wasn't a nut on full stop.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:16

How far behind are they, even on extreme low fuel, they were miles behind.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:19

Webber looks like he's struggling as well, but still faster.

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:19

It could be bluffing. Lol

Glaucus · 10 Jul 2011 at 14:21

Yay for DRS..

Um, in the garage before they start the race? Finishing the last 10 laps at 80% is not what this sport is about.

But each kilo costs lap time. Probably hopped for a little more water. Was pretty much there only chance.
