I doubt that, but I admit that it's strange to have a Toyota (who didn;t have anything like good pace this whole weekend) with the fastest lap!

The Toyota was c**p and Lewis and Rubens were pushing like crazy. He definitely must have cut some chicane and nobody noticed it, because he was at the back anyway.

Kimi had second fastest lap for quite some time.

after the second stops Kimi was about 5-6 seconds behind Lewis, any theories why he lost so much time in the final 10-11 laps?
The same in Hungary, after all stops were done Kimi was not that much behind Lewis, but after a few laps the gap increased dramatically.

stamina problem? Or intelligent driving by Kimi, saving the engine, gearbox and tyres?
Probably saving the car

Actually he was on an odd strategy, and pitted for the last time with 7 laps to go, and took on new tyres. Therefore he had a light, freshly-rubbered car where Hamilton and Barrichello's tyres were also 7 laps old and had the cumulative wear of having carried the extra fuel.
No, I'm not calmer. Just more jaded.

And Toyota wasn't fast the whole weekend...
Where we can find his times for every single lap? There is the answer..

:lol: I didnt hear that, what did he mean to say and when did he say it?
About 4 laps from the end, he meant to say its been a weekend of gain for Button or Brawn I think.
