WAKE UP!

Quali in half an hour

Morn guys

Skeeter · 8 Oct 2011 at 05:53

Oh FFS, after all the discussions on here, I turn on Qualifying just as BBC set about crucifiying Lewis for all his moves this year...

LEWIS DOES NOT NEED A CUDDLE EDDIE! What he needs is people to get off his back and stop looking for mistakes.

I was hoping DC was going to show the Maldonado crash at Monaco and re-evaluate the blame.

Freakbro · 8 Oct 2011 at 06:22

That will be the only time Kobi is the fastest man on the track

Setroc · 8 Oct 2011 at 06:25

nice lap for the crowd from kobayashi

Shimmy · 8 Oct 2011 at 06:26

BBC blatantly cursed Ross Brawn by interviewing before Quali and asking what he was most proud of on the Mercedes.

He answered the build quality and reliability

Shimmy · 8 Oct 2011 at 06:46

Well done Kamui, on home soil too.

He probably won't go out in Q3 though.

Flibster · 8 Oct 2011 at 06:49

Is it me, or is EJ actually wearing the legendary rose tinted glasses?

Flibster · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:01

Another McLaren **** up. :rolleyes:

drunkenmaster · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:01

So McClaren screw Hamilton again with tactics, timings and great idea's, idiots.

McClaren are so pathetic, every god damned time, no reason at all for going out final second, no reason at all.

No reason the first run had to be so late, no reason McClaren didn't swap the tyres and send him straight out on a clear track, pee'd around, threw it away, fresh tyres, Hamilton should have done that easily to be honest.

sunama · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:03

McLaren's strategies are absolutely terrible.

It wouldn't surprise me if their strategists are bunch of children throwing darts at a dartboard deciding on strategies.

Hamilton could've got pole.

Flibster · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:04

Hamilton looks mightily annoyed in the garage being weighed. He thinks that he could have had pole.

Shimmy · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:04

I had my hopes up for a second there..

Still, well poised for tomorrow.

You got a link for that info please?
As far as I know no team knew till 2008.

All the teams know Ferrari got paid more, just as Williams got paid more than Force India etc etc

What we saw today is one reason why Vettel is so good.
He just doesn't get it wrong.

While Hamilton and other drivers are making silly errors, Vettel always stays out of trouble.

Skeeter · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:06

What the hell are they playing at. Once again McLaren screw it up for their drivers making **** decisions.

As MB said, he figured it out, DC figured it out, even I knew they wouldn't get through in time sat on my sofa, yet with all the crew at the track and a huge tactical team back in Woking, McLaren failed to realise that 1:40 is not long enough to do a slow out lap.

Its as times like this that I hope the PR agent gets told to **** off and Lewis can air his absolutely massive frustration at his team completely ruining his afternoon for him.

(now watch the Hamilton bashers try to blame Lewis for this...)

EDIT: surnama, as predictable as ever...

Or did webber slow down and backed up Lewis? we will find out..

Skeeter · 8 Oct 2011 at 07:09

Oy, Eddie, its the teams job to keep their driver informed of whats going on around him, and wether he actually has enough time to get across the line!

And, Oy Martin! Admit it when your team ***** up ffs, all this dodging it makes you look even worse!

So far, in 10 minutes, Eddie has blamed Lewis, Martin (W) has blamed Lewis. Seriously, why is he target number one?

Well, he went out in front of Webber and Webber managed to make it in time.

Sounds like a **** up from Hammy rather than McLaren

Haha, yea he was farting about, so oh look, his team aren't screwing him around
