And so happy that some of that luck has left Hamilton :@:2 !grin! I wish it would rub off on Kimi and Alonso for Brazil and we get a good race for the Championship...

looks like hamilton pushed those wets too hard early on. hated how brundle kept saying "once kimi saw an oppitunity to win he got on the pace". he waited for hamilton to pit, then he put in the quick laps. kimi didnt giv up in the first 15 laps.

McLaren takes the blame for Hamilton's DNF. They said they had let him race too long, to make sure the wheater predictions were right. Hamilton said that it felt like driving on ice.

Finnish F1 pundit says when the tyres are as bad as they were with Hamilton, it doesn't matter how slowly you drive, the car just won't turn or stop anywhere. Still, even at the first stop his tyres were more worn out than Kimi's or Alonso's so McLaren could have changed another intermediate tyres at that point and thus save him.

I just thought after reading an interview with Fisico, isn't it the drivers call when you change tyres in these conditions??? Hamilton made the mistake of going in for dry tyres in Europe too early didn't he??? Maybe they thought seeing thats what he did then they would wait... But it is usually in these conditions the drivers desicion...

I think it's not the driving style of Hamilton, I think it's just bad luck. In a Dutch F1-magazine i've got, there was a special about his drivingstyle, they compared it with Alonso. Hamilton steers in a corner really calm an smooth, while Alonso was pushing his tires to the limit

Go Kimi in conclusion
At time of incident, hamilton was in the pitlane.
I think there is a rule stating that this can be done in the pitlane. Even mecchanics could go there.
In fact, it's not the first time that mecchanics push cars in the pitlane.
I try and find the rule

Do you think that Kubica would have won the grand prix without the technical issue ?? Because i heard he didn't have to stop anymore?
i'm soooo sorry for him, and also for hamilton but he already seems to have a lot of persons sorry for him :@:2

To win, you have to finish first. That shows how inconsistent and unreliable the Ferrari was this season, and I'm sure that it will cost Kimi the championship.

I think McLaren & Hamilton risked too much today.
Both of them are at fault, imo. McLaren for not making him go into pits before as they knew how degraded his tyres were, and Lewis for taking that curve in the pitlane too fast. He knew that his car was dancing and the accident could have been predicted with such speed on those tyres.

As a Ferrari fan, I would have loved a 1-2 - but maybe I'm even happier now! In this way not only Kimi, but even Alonso can beat Hamilton! Awesome race, Hamilton screwed it up big time though... Vettel was awesome, and Liuzzi was good too. Hails for Button too. We'll have one killer race on Interlagos at this point !grin!
