rossthejambo Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 well thats bollocks Apparently they were told on Friday that it wouldn't be allowed at this track. If that's the case then struggle to sympathise with Hamilton really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No penalty because Hamilton was actually faster in that sector than Rosberg was the lap before... ergo Rosberg talking bollocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, they're not allowed to do that at Valencia and were told that on Friday. Silly of Hamilton to ignore it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Good to see Paul di Resta in the top 10, even if his Force India teammate outqualified him. Several surprising omissions from the top 10 in Alonso, Schumacher and Webber (who wasn't even in Q2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, they're not allowed to do that at Valencia and were told that on Friday. Silly of Hamilton to ignore it really. Yep I know but he couldn't have slowed that much given he slowed less than Romberg do on his previous lap. That was the official reason for no punishment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the official reason for no punishment Fair enough, didn't see the result of the inquiry. Hamilton fair enjoys pushing the rules though. Was a bit gutted for di Resta, he was having a great lap until the last sector, could very easily have been 4th or 5th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Hamilton pushes the rules, it's more a matter of every little event he is involved in is highlighted beyond extremities, he's also had a raw deal in many of the outcomes. When it comes to pushing rules.... the teams are what should be looked at, not the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll hopefully make a few places at the start so I think he could be on for a good haul of points. Pish track right enough though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been talk of rotating it with Barcelona. I'd drop both and go to Jerez instead. Also talk of rotating Spa and Paul Ricard in France. France deserves a GP but Spa should be every year.

Certainly does the other tracks I've been to. Its not dear to get there. Drive to Hull around 3 hours. Zebrugge to francorchamps about 2 and a half hours. Do it.

They should stop going to places that have no interest in F1. I'd keep Japan, Australia, Canada and Brazil and have the rest in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossthejambo Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 the front jack failed, how is that the pit crew dicking it up? Just seems too common an occurrence for it to be technical, fair enough in this case but its happening too often.

:shitwine: Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 While it might ake the last 25 or so laps more interesting, how ridiculous was the incident between Vergne and Kovalainen that brought out the SC?

Refusing to ever admit that he is ever the one in the wrong? Expecting to get away with doing whatever he wants, but happy to publicly call others idiots and such like when they have the audacity to prioritise their own race over his? He's the Neil Lennon of Formula 1. However, I agree that Hamilton is also a ######. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

:shitwine: Posted June 24, 2012 Author Share Posted June 24, 2012 To be fair, there are few successful drivers out there who DON'T get frustrated when they have a bad race. I wouldn't say there's an overwhelming amount of arrogance on Vettel - not enough to make me hate him anyway, but that's just me. I can see why the finger is grating I suppose it's a trademark now, a la Rudi's celebration where he points to his boot. Of course, because both are so successful, we see them more often As for the race at hand, Grosjean's car failure has probably handed this race to Alonso - McLaren's pace isn't quite as good as Lotus'.
