Thats what I thoight. But then not on race day... McLaren lost all their pace today, Alonso and Vettel just flew off.Mekstizzle wrote:
Lewis only like a tenth down. They've caught up
He hasn't got the car that Alonso, Hamilton or Vettel have.Mekstizzle wrote:
Because he overtook about 4 cars on fresh tyres whilst they were running on tyres that practically had to last the entire grand prix. Yeah.
He was running in front of them anyway, the only reason he ended up behind was because he punctured his tyre and had to do a second pit stop. The guy is a good driver, no doubt. However I don't subscribe to the notion that he's on the same level as Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel. He hasn't done what they have done yet, for whatever reason. So he can't be put there. There's no use making assumptions in cases like this until he can get the chance.
Also that Renault car is being developed at a serious pace. These people are no slouches, they've won the WDC and WCC two years in a row. Something people tend to forget when they hype up how amazing it is that Renault are doing good.
he overtook 4 ppl in 4 laps, and did it clean. sure he had a tire advatage. but he is still with the top drivers, he only needs a winning carDrunkFace wrote:

He doesn't have 6 times the points of his team mate cause he's slow. He's also finished in the points more times then Hamiton and Vettel and hasn't qualified worse then 9th, something you can't say about Alonso or Hamilton. If the guy gets a drive in a top team in the next couple of years I wouldn't be betting against him winning the world championship.
Yes, but it goes back much further then that. It was mid way through the 2008 the season that I predicted him to be a future world champion. He's quick he's mature and he's consistent.menzo wrote:

Kobayashi was freakin' awesome that race, had my eyes on him practically the whole time. He overtook like what, 3 people in the hairpin lol? Pretty good race over all, sad Red Bull took 1-2. That track is just awesome too.
Who exactly are the cheaters? I'm a McLaren-Mercedes fan, and quite dislike RBR. I don't read up on who is bending this rule that way and loop holing this thing and that, I just watch the races and hope my team wins.DrunkFace wrote:

You'd prefer the cheaters to win?
