Didn't knew Alonso had problem from the start of the race *strange*.mikhailv wrote:So basically you agree that Hamilton should had been penalize.I didn't see any british bias in the first place .. just plain ignorance from stewards.

Its in the rules your allowed one defensive move, and then you can move back onto the line. Not weave 4 times on the damn straight.
But hey, johnny herbert was the advisor to the steward. So no pro-british bias there
Otherwise, Lewis' performance was identical to massa's. They both finished 14 places ahead of their qualifying positions, except lewis made a load of pointless overtaking manouveurs and the louise fans' hopes up when in reality, massa matched him in race result.
Shame nando's clutch went. He was faster than the both of them without it ;)
How was Alonso faster than Hamilton? ... IMO Hamilton was better than Alonso even before the gear issues.[/quote]
Alonso started the race with no clutch. It didnt come on mid race, he had the problem on the way to the grid; its in his post race interviews. And im a cynical british bloke; the only time the stewards got things right was every single penalty lewis had in 2008, including the spa penalty.
Also, Alonso set the second fastest lap, just under 2 tenths from webber. He was half a second quicker than lewis in the race;

So really, lewis isnt fast in races. Setting only 3 fastest laps in his whole career in at least 2 years of a top car, then the second half of 2009 and 2010. Not really very impressive. I wish jenson would get upto speed =/
Fastest LAP: they are good ... but they pretty useless when it comes to winning race or championship. In short don't read too much in it ;)
Another thing is fairness comprise for entertainment
