mercedes / pirelli tribunal thread

At the beginning of last season, his car wasnt great, yet he was beating most drivers, including Hamilton/Button, who at the start of the season, were in the best car.

My belief is that if Vettel or Alonso were at McLaren last year, McLaren would've won the WDC and possibly the WCC.


so your saying vettel or alonso would have won races where mclaren had been making mistakes in the pit stops?

it dont matter how good you are, you cant win races if your pit crew mess up as much as mclaren did.

Many people site the screw-ups of McLaren pit crew, last year, however, to give you an idea of what a top driver can do - in the last race of the year, Vettel was in last place. He then drove into 6th place, just 9 seconds from the lead. That's what Vettel did in what was the 2nd best car in that race (McLaren had the fastest car). When the chips are down, the best sportsman find a way to win. Lesser sportsman give up and their fans make excuses.

in brazil 2009 hamilton started 18th and finished on the podium in 3rd.

im sure alonso has done similar, even button did it in canada..
