No no, its all Alonso's fault! ;)
Admittedly not many here using that excuse, but thats the general vibe across most other forums. sigh.

That can be easily debunked since Hamilton's pace was crap before the incident with Alonso. That's what allowed Alonso to catch him in the first place.

Because he started to conserve the tyres instead of attempting a pass on his team mate, the same as Hamilton not bothering a pass on heidfeld earlier on.

Button just did a better job saving tyres, same with Alonso. He was controlling his tyres for the right moment, but stuffed his chance.

Hamilton vs Heidfeld early on, you're comparing both on softs at the same stage, again you keep ignoring the main point Button at that stage you're talking about was on tyres that can be 1 second a lap faster than the hard tyres Hamilton was on.

Conserving tyres, again poop because whatever happened Hamilton got a fresh set of hard tyres what, a lap before Button, you think he ruined them completely in one lap without any visible locking or problems? Something wasn't working, maybe the tyres were completely faulty but realistically think about it this way.

What was the 3 stop soft, soft, hard strategy, start, pit 12-13, 25-27, 38-39 and run a longer stint at the end on hards.

Hamilton went, start, pit 12-13, 26ish but onto hards, you would assume he would then do a long stint then go back onto softs around lap 34-35, then burn to the end on softs.

Instead Hamilton with SLOWER tyres kept ahead of Button, then all of a sudden pitted FIRST despite longer wearing tyres, then was instantly slow as hell on brand new fresh tyres.

It wasn't just the tyres, unless he got a particularly faulty set. Everyone else went what, 16-19 laps on hard tyres on the final stint yet Hamilton's, not blasting around the place needed replacing in 10-12 laps?

The numbers just don't add up, he wasn't ruining his tyres, he had fresh sets for the race, he used less softs in qualifying than other drivers.

My best guess is something went wrong, a lap, maybe two before he went in for his second set of hard tyres, he came out still with whatever problem it was because on completely fresh hard tyres he was EVEN SLOWER than on 12 lap old hard tyres.

They have been using it for years, normally to the drivers. You often hear "box box box"

Just wondering what has been on TV that i've not watched that's made everyone suddenly start referring to pit stops as boxing, they weren't doing it before :p

EDIT - As an example, searching for 'boxing boxed' results only in this thread as the single result :p

Wish Alonso would say what he really feels

"So then alonso, tell us what happened"

"wel, its that english beeeeech , he got in my **** ing way the English Pig."

thats what he's really thinking :D
 
I thought it was a great race, gutted for Alonso but... It's racing, Hamilton came out of it fine and Alonso was punished for his mistake.

Ashame for Petrov, a double points finish would have been good for Renault.
Can't believe how much air he caught! :D

Too much whining about DRS. Its a good addition, will be fine tuned and by the end of the season we'll all be fine with it.
