Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
Anyone understand why Hamilton fight with Kimi and even with Trulli when he only have to fight with Alonso. And even he can finish one place behind Alonso if scored only 1 point less.
After his fights, he destroyed his rear tyres, and this was his only problem.
Even, when he saw his rear tyres, why he was on track?. Why not change the tyres?. He had a stupid decision.
Really I think he loose his race himself, and the team was guilty too, because they had to force him to go pit. A very stupid decision, he could loose the championship for this.

Re: Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
Well dacer, you should really visit some F1 sites and read up first...
Hamilton couldn't see his tire, because he said his mirrors were fogged up and dirty... and he and McLaren decided to hold him on the track because it started to rain... now that was a mistake, because the tire was so work that it started delaminating. Hamilton didn't know that, and i guess they decided to bring him in just as he was near the pits...
And what do you suppose a F1 driver should do if someone comes up behind him and its a fight for position? pull over and let him pass...
It was McLaren's fault for not forcing the issue of changing the tire, and Hamilton's for making a mistake at the pit entrance.

Re: Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
In fairness the team should of got him in earlier. They should of known the way the tyres would be and in the end he made the mistake and ended up in the wall. There was no need to race against Kimi the way he did. He just needed to finish and get some points and he could of had the world championship. BUt in the end he cocked up for once

Hamilton has committed an stupid mistake. Or does he want that FIA stewards penalize his mirrors?Hamilton couldn't see his tire, because he said his mirrors were fogged up and dirty...

Re: Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
As I said in another thread, it's a joint mistake. Maccas for not making him change tyres earlier and hamilton for not slowing down enough to take that curve if his tyres were sooooooo bad.

Now the best:Lewis Hamilton, McLaren (DNF):
“When I got out of the car I was obviously gutted for both myself and the team. I haven’t made a mistake all year but I am over it now. There is still one race to go, so I can still do it. I made a strong start to the race and my first stop went well. Prior to entering the pit lane for my last stop I was constantly talking to the team. Although my tyres were in poor condition we took a joint decision to get through the last rain shower before changing to dry tyres.
jajajajajajajajaja. Yes he let's him overtake!!! jajajajajajaja. Tipicall, as children. "yes you score because I let you do it"I was trying to be very careful and as a result was not really fighting aggressively with Kimi.
NO, you make the wrong decision!!!It would have worked out perfectly, but I then made a mistake coming into the pitlane and that was it. We made the right decision, and it was just unfortunate. I will now focus on attacking in Brazil where I will do everything I can to bounce back.”

Re: Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
but dont you think it was rather clumsy on hamilton's part to understeer into gravel? in my view he should have been more careful

Re: Hamilton decision to stay on track with damaged rear tyre
well, if it was Fernando instead, he would have said that MCLaren wanted to sabotage his car and did that on purpose. Instead, he put part of the blame on him.
