Monaco Grand Prix 2011, Monte-Carlo - Race 6/19

Bit of news from the court case.

Team Lotus ARE Team Lotus :D
But, Group Lotus also have the right to use Lotus in F1...

So, no change then...

Oh and Group Lotus are appealing that Team Lotus can use Team Lotus. :rolleyes:

He is a bit daft sometimes.

Makes sense. One is a advertiser much like Total or Vodafone, the other is a Grand Prix team. Simple.

Apparently they were (subtly) blocking him in Spain whilst he was behind Vettel. Would need to see a replay to see if he's making a big deal out of nothing or not.

I don't think it's daft. It costs Hamilton nothing, to ask the officials to watch the Torro Rosso (TR) drivers. And at best, the TR drivers will be on their best behaviour around Hamilton.

This sort of tactic is commonly used in football, by players and managers on referees. Alex Ferguson loves to comment on/to referees, just so that referees behave themselves and favour his team, when Man Utd are playing.

I think Hamilton is playing the game very well and is finally growing up.
 
I've also noticed this "God I hate Hamilton" thing not just on forums but in real life as well. I just can't understand it myself. Why would you HATE a driver ffs? OK so some of them do have issues/attitudes. At times, Schumacher has done some awful dirty things, but I don't HATE him. He was clearly the best and a great guy. Alsonso is another one, greasy Spanyard that has been involved in some dirty political things, but at the same time it's all in the past and he is a real talent. I enjoy watching him improve and take on RBR. Hamilton is a really nice guy both on and off the camera. He is quick. He is talented. Yes he has also been involved in F1 politics (show me a driver that hasn't).
 
15 out of 26 GP2 cars is actually good.

Wasn't it years ago in an F1 race where only 6 people finished?

That was a brilliant race, bust cars where coming out the pits hopping to get enough laps in to get some points. Anyone remember what year it was? Would love to watch it. Can't remember how many finished I thought it was more.
 
To slow, was just about to post that link,now can anyone find highlites. Or even better full race. Fill in my Friday withdrawal symptoms.

Its the inner hipster in people, 'that's popular/good so I wont like it'

pretty tiresome but to be expected, he is also English which doesn't help given the current blooming of anti-patriotism in England.
 
Lotus wins!

I'm pretty sure I just saw Tony Fernandes steal Danny Bahars lunch money too. Bahar is currently running of to his mother and an army of lawyers.

This is so stupid, they will the commentators to say, here comes the team lotus car with the current Renault just being called the Lotus. I dont understand why both are so happy, they have wasted millions of pounds.
