European Grand Prix 2012, Valencia - Race 8/20

[Flibster]

Marshals slipping lead into his crash helmet and overalls to get him to above the weight limit.

That mess up in the pits for LH probably cost him the race in the end, i fully expect the race stewards to blame lewis for it.

How when his tyres would have gone off even faster with Alonso at least pushing him hard. Kimi right behind him killed his tyres, it may have happened even faster.

I'm gutted he didn't yield that place and take the points

 

[englishpremier]

Great to see Alonso celebrating. I imagine he's going to get a massive fine.

He's still not on his way to the podium. Will they start it without him?

lol

 

[Mr Men]

DSQ

haha you wish

 

[muon]

Nothing, that rule only applies in qualifying.

You need some for testing. But he will have some left.

 

[Katoom]

Alonso can't be out of fuel after so many laps behind the sc.

Is he allowed to just get out?

 

[Kenai]

hamilton didnt leave space not even the kerb its his own fault for defending so hard on dead tyres...

Brilliant, blamed for being t-boned by a car driving at him from off the track, some people's hatred really can be blinding

 

[awaybreaktoday]

alonso should get a penelty should he not. thought you had to bring car home...

 

[steve45]

is alonso not gonna find himself in bother for not making it back to the pits(possibly fuel?).

 

[Matteh]

I call it payback for monaco 2011, the day hamilton wiped out half the field including maldonado.

The day Maldonado turned in massively early on Hamilton you mean?

I'm hardly Hamilton's number one fan but c'mon - that was one of the few incidents that day where he wasn't to blame.

 

[Freakbro]

You shouldn't have to yield just so that the other car doesn't ram you off the track!

No but Maldo was up by the side of him going into the corner, everyone else earlier in the race gave the inside car room and didn't force them to drive off.

Not saying Maldo is blameless at all, just Hammy could have been smarter

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Yikes, quite a scrum there!

 

[Mr Men]

he can stop 1 inch over the line if he wants

 

[arknor]

You don't have to leave space for cars that are off the track.

he was only off the track because hamilton didnt leave a cars width

 

[Skeeter]

Yeah alright Fred, you've had your moment, get on with it now!

Nah, F1 needs to allow celebrations like this all the time. We need donuts and burnouts and flag waving and photos with the flag and climbing up fences. Like... pretty much every other motorsport in the world!

 

[el_dazza]

Oh you muppet.

Wind your neck in lad. Love it when all the hamilton lovers cant take a nice big dollop of truth

 

[Psycho Ned]

alonso should get a penelty should he not. thought you had to bring car home...

Only in qualifying I think, you do need to have enough fuel in for a sample though even after the race so as long as he's still got that I imagine he'll be ok.

 

[Weebull]

Are they using bathroom scales to weigh the drivers at Valencia?

 

[DAnDan]

No but Maldo was up by the side of him going into the corner, everyone else earlier in the race gave the inside car room and didn't force them to drive off.

Not saying Maldo is blameless at all, just Hammy could have been smarter

Yeah, he could have been, he didn't have to though, and he shouldn't be expected to on the grounds that the guy next to him will ram him off the track mario kart style.

 

[utajoker]

you only have to make it back to the pits in qualifying.

every race some cars stop before making it round.

they should add a rule that you have to get back after the race too.
