After watching this morning I think the way for him to get the championship is to jump into a Ferrari , Raikkonin made it look so easy. I was hoping for a more entertaining race but overtaking still seems to be just to hard in these high downforce cars, I do think they look really beautiful this year

I have to admit to loving the new Mclaren livery. Many others just don't look as good as they used to - Honda, Renault...

The marketing of these new hybrids shows how easy it is to hoodwink these pretend environmentalists. They believe they are benefitting the environment by getting rid of their existing car in favour of something that has less emissions but don't realise that the manufacturing processes involved in making their prius or whatever does more damage than driving it! The environment would be better off if they skept their old car!
anyhow rant over - back to eco friendly F1

Lewis Hamilton has proved himself to be a worthy F1 driver congrats to him and Ron Dennis. But, the 'Media Focus/ Expectations' may have a negative effect on him. Another thing that has plagued McLaren is reliability problems, just ask Kimi Riakonnen.. Best of Luck!

They may have turned a corner there both cars got podium finishes yesterday, when was the last time that happened???
I think Lewis is well under Ron's 'wing' media will not get a look in.
I watched the rerun yesterday at 16.10, what's with the adverts every 2 mins?????? may as well just watch highlights.

Turkish GP 2005 Kimi & Montoya was the last double on the podium for McLaren, but what happened after that?...

Bearing in mind, Mclaren and others had a V10 engine then too..then to be downsized to a V8 in 2006.

I thought that is was good that Mclaren didn't let the media talk to Hamilton before the race. The media will be in a frenzy to ask him all sorts of daft questions that he doesn't need. Still bloody good drive from him.
Also what on earth has happened to Honda, how could they possibly have fallen so far down the grid? perhaps they are running the car on bio fuel.

I thought he was going for his pilots licence now.......... didn't you see on Sunday? He got a few extra seconds in to make up his hours.
Button looked p*ssed.
