Him or his car, either suits me

Hamilton is just slow IMO.

Tyre saving is all well and good but if you need to go slower than your rivals and also pit before them then it's clearly not working very well.

They've not even dropped him into a clear bit of track have they?

Ferrari doing some quick stops but not beating mclaren. Mclaren won't be consistent though

Lewis pits, seems strange he would pit so early considering all the tyre saving he has done from the start

It worked though didn't it. On the soft qualifying tyres they got the same distance into the race as their rivals. If he'd driven faster they'd have gone over the cliff in half that amount of laps...

Who is Fat John?

It also appears that Vettel, while driving fast, also managed his tyres better than Hamilton.
He completely dominated Hamilton in that stint.

In and out and still in first .. Nice :cool:

Not sure how you think it has worked from 2nd on the grid?

Seb is not going fast though....

Vettel managed to go further. And he did it, while driving much faster than Hamilton.

You asked this yesterday and two of us gave you the answer within minutes of you posting :confused:

Romain Grosjean.

Gros Jean = Fat John.

Indeed.
Started 2nd.
And is currently in 5th, after the stops (Webber still needs to stop).
That strategy didnt work at all.

vet is still at front after pit. very nice

utajoker · 24 Jun 2012 at 13:34

pretty simple, red bull are better in hot conditions.

mclaren are better in colder.

its hot and vettel is running away with it.

canada was colder and mclaren did the same.

Wtf is going on with the BBC camera changes. Must be the 5th time they switched at a crucial point

King Damager · 24 Jun 2012 at 13:35

The BBC director is awful... Why would you switch away when Alonso is half way through overtaking Webber...

CaptainRAVE · 24 Jun 2012 at 13:35

Alonso on an absolute charge!
