See, L. Hamilton on pole!

Yes you are absolutely right.....

I just hope Ferrari don't play any dirty tricks by asking Ice Cool Man to crash on Pork Slice on Turn 1.......since Ice Cool Man has lost his race for the Championship standing.....

I know the Ferrari owner would be happy but that's not how you win a race.....

McLaren..........waving silently at one corner....:bsmilie:

Wah! That is a frightening thought... (like back to the Senna-Prost feud)

 

[Old Man Lee]

will they say a passing by bullet train cause the gear box to jump 2 steps?

After the excitement of the Singapore GP, it is Japan's Fuji Raceway's turn to host the F1.

Glad to hear that for the first Friday practice session, L. Hamilton was at the top of the timing chart.

L. Hamilton is deep trouble. IMO, it is due to his own fault.

 

[r32]

Agree - he pulled a really aggressive move going into the first corner, the car placings got messed up because he swept across the track and everyone scrambled to avoid him. His spin though unrelated is payback for that kind of driving - the sort of light tap that MSchumacher used to trade with Damon Hill.

L. Hamilton is deep trouble. IMO, it is due to his own fault.

he should get some penalty for doing such dangerous move. LoL almost take out his own teammate. :bsmilie::thumbsup:

 

[Canew]

Drive through penalties for both F. Massa & L. Hamilton.

 

[ahbian]

Come on Massa! Get Webber! At least a point would be good.

 

[Canew]

Congratulations to F. Alonso for his back to back wins.

 

[eosdigital]

Alonso wins again...

what happened to Lewis?

 

[roadrunner_552]

congrat F.Alonso!!!!!!!

 

[r32]

Alonso wins again...

what happened to Lewis?

If you didn't watch the race:

Hamilton lost the race lead to Raikkonen from the start, brakes late and deep into the first corner, proceeds to understeer and sweeps the frontrunners off to the outside, allowing Kubica and Alonso to capitalize on the gap left behind.

He subsequently falls to 7th(?) place behind Massa and attempts an overtaking manuever, which he manages to make stick, but forces Massa onto the kerbs. The Ferrari with little traction clumsily taps Hamilton's car, spinning him 180 degrees.

Hamilton is penalized with a stop and go for the first incident, while Massa is punished similarly for the second incident.

 

[ahbian]

Somehow, if Hamilton and Massa continues to screw with each other like this over the last few races, and incurring penalties, the eventual winner will still be Hamilton....

 

[GavinTing]

Thank god massa didnt win!

Hamilton all the way!
