Love to know what Hamilton is thinking to himself

Ethermaster · 12 May 2013 at 13:45

Would so love a Ferrari 1-2 finish

RSR · 12 May 2013 at 13:45

Please bring back Bridgestone tyres, these Pirelli's are just toliet!!!

Guerrilla · 12 May 2013 at 13:45

Bloody hell even the Williams are overtaking the Mercedes now.

Flibster · 12 May 2013 at 13:45

Another set of new hard tyres for Hamilton... Not sure whats up with the car, if it's just the tyres or if there is something more significant, but he is pretty much the slowest car on the track.

Rosberg pits on lap 27 - new hard tyres for him.

Valencia is usually a snooze fest.

At least we only get subjected to it every two years now.

It'd be the same whoever is making them, it's not because Pirelli are just inept, they were specifically asked to do this because everyone was bored of 'tyres last the whole race without issue' racing.

Love the radio message form Hamilton there.

He's not happy at all.

They made the tyres the FIA requested. It's nothing to do with brand.

What are mercedes doing? Surely they would lose less time pitting?

utajoker · 12 May 2013 at 13:47

hamilton has had enough and has put his foot down.

at least there is overtaking this year, unlike every other Spanish GP chaps.

Incredibly artificial though. Different people on different strategies or with tyres that are fried.

That would be awesome.

MooMoo444 · 12 May 2013 at 13:48

Hahahahah Lewis is furious

Irish_Tom · 12 May 2013 at 13:48

Hamilton "I can't drive any slower."

Guerrilla · 12 May 2013 at 13:49

LOL Hamilton

Flibster · 12 May 2013 at 13:49

Full radio message:
Hamilton - Well, now I'm overtaken by a Williams, what position am I?
Pit - Position 15, still looking at points

Really?

Now the pit guy reporting that the rear left tyre is reaching the top of the operating window. Hamilton responds with "I can't drive any slower"
