Malaysia Grand Prix 2012, Kuala Lumpur - Race 2/20

Me interested, never. Yeah ok I'm interested. It's looking Good from McLaren and I think LH willl either walk away with it or bin it.
Of on Holliday Thursday as well, so a bit of extra spending money would ber good.


Hmm how do you do such a combined bet, or do you haver to phone up, rather than online.

11/2 for MSC top 3 finish, hmmmm

You don't believe that was anything more than a silly joke do you?

Aren't jokes traditionally meant to be funny? ;) His bitching at Monaco was less funny, more blood-curdlingly embarrassing....
 
I thought Whitmarsh has already killed that rumour that Jenson is easy on his tyres.

Last year I believe it was Alonso who look after his tyres the most.

I will try and find it for you if you wish - but I believe the BBC commentated at teh end of Aus race that JB's rear tyres were markedly better than Vettel or LH's

I know Whitmarsh has said what you have claimed (in the past), I would just suggest that some of JB's times just before pit stops are markedly better than LH's .......(not just at Aus either, even late last year)

JRS, you of all people should know that any top (or even lesser) driver believes that he is always in the right. So, when he gets called up to the Stewards in every other race, that said driver will naturally feel victimised and then begin a (possibly irrational) rant.

Senna, Mansel, Prost, Alonso, to name a few, have all ranted and raved at some point in their careers about the injustice that has been dealt out to them.

I like to think of most drivers at teenage kids and it is to be expected for a teenage kid to throw his toys of out his pram, the moment he does not get the decision he wants to hear.

In private, Hamilton, in all likelihood, probably did believe that the only plausible reason why he was being victimised was due to his race. He probably would've convinced himself of this. During this period, I think his father commented that he needs people around him, who will be honest and truthful with him.

I have said many times that Hamilton really needs a big brother type person in the team, (like Smedley is with Massa), who will basically be on his side, rather than the neutral/corporate/politically correct, yes-men we hear on Hamilton's radio. If I hadn't seen the pit-wall crew wearing team overalls with my own eyes, I would swear that McLaren's radio men were wearing suits and bola hats while communicating on the radio, with their drivers.
 
I thought it was the Pirelli guy who said about the tyre wear, and I seem to recall he basically said they're all the same, maybe Alonso being the best but not much in it. Was a while back now though.
 
sunama - there is a world of difference between having a healthy amount of self confidence, believing that you're in the right and that it isn't your fault when things don't go your way....and going around the paddock in a sulk, making weak cracks about victimisation, having just come out of a race where you managed to hit everything except the safety car (ah, one step away from perfection....such is life). If anything, the latter is rather more indicative of someone with absolutely zero confidence in themselves.

But, there's a separate thread for this line of thought so time to stop dragging this one off-topic :)
