Still going with that I see, maybe you will get lucky and someday people will forget that it was mechanical failures for one of those cars that cost mclaren a championship and it's best driver. :)

2010:

Hamilton had a puncture in Spain that put him into the wall, gearbox failure in Hungary, collided with Massa in Italy and then Webber in Singapore. So, strictly speaking one mechanical failure.

2011:

Hamilton had his coming together with Button in Canada, drove into Kobayashi in Belgium and had a gearbox failure in Brazil. Again, one retirement for mechanical failure.

2012:

Hamilton got taken out by Maldonado in Valencia, had his race ended in Germany by damage from an earlier puncture, was collected in the Grosjean-induced smash at the start in Belgium, had a gearbox fail in Singapore, lost fuel pressure in Abu Dhabi and was slid into by Hulkenberg in Brazil. So, two mechanical retirements.

Not that many really, was it? ;)

This is a guy who managed to break his multi year deal at McLaren without paying any penalty. Actually, didn't he also break his Ferrari contract early to move to McLaren this year too.

Well they couldn't really make him pay a penalty that would hold up in court when he could argue he wanted out because his team was cheating :D

I bet he had a performance clause in that ferrari deal and they just all agreed to make out he was left with a cheery wave and party. It was rumoured enough and both parties denied it but I just buy his exit from Ferrari being so smooth. Ferrari I'm sure would rather he sat out the season than give a driver they loved to a rival.

You have to judge them for what they can do with the tools at their disposal in the same teams, look at Jenson vs Hamilton - Hamilton almost always had the edge in Qualifying but Jenson got more points against him in equal machinery over three years.

Does a Formula 1 championship get decided over three years? Because I was under impression that a championship spans just one year and that Hamilton beat Button in two out of three years. Serious question.
 
Anyway.....

Any more information about why Kimi span? Seems a bit weird how he was fine for practice and quali but then drops it in the race (again)
 
Loads of updates, unsure when they will land though. I think they want as much as is humanly possible to be finished by Silverstone.
