Robin know ones taking anything far too serious and there is nothing wrong with supporting a team and there drivers just like in football.

Personally i carnt understand people that just watch sport for the spectacle i always find myself backing a certain team which ever sport it may be but etto i suppose :happy2:.

You have to commend Mclaren, they let their drivers race against each other and vent their anger.  At least your getting genuine feelings and responses from them rather than scripted responses like in other teams.

If you were to put yourself in Lewis's shoes where you are faster than every car in front of you, but theres just not room to get past, you can understand the frustration.  It was only a mater of time before the lat lunges start happening. 

I agree with a few posts up as well.  Had the likes of Massa turned later it would have been a great overtake, but massa closed the door very early onto the Mclaren, and then it becomes an avoidable accident.Lewis's car was there on the inside line so its a difficult call IMO, an unavoidable accidnt, but it could be both drivers at fault as neither gave the other room.

If it wasnt for the History of Monaco gp i would scrap it. The fact that vettel can stay in front of two drivers with tyres 20 laps younger goes to show how impossible it is to overtake.

Hamilton was all over the place but what would you prefer him to do sit behind the car in front thats a second slower for 78 laps, all the incidents today was because cars carnt ovetake each other even if there 1, 2, 3 seconds quicker.

GP's like Monoco they should have qualifiying then just hand the points out and forget the race.

Canada will be alot better


I disagree... alonso and Button couldnt overtake because they were off his pace, its not like they were both all over the back of him is it!

What race was you watching :confused: so just before the last safety car Alsonso was no where near Vettel then no, becuase i thought they were right behind him and its also weird that button can pit and in the course of about 6 laps make up 19 seconds on Vettel.

Yeah no where near his pace :confused:

The point i was making is there is no way Vettel would have been able to keep his lead on over circuits in the same circumstances he would have been left for dead and that is blatantly obvious.

Agree with you there Rob. Until he caught Alonso & Vettel Jenson was 1.5 Secs a lap quicker on the same tyres due to how much newer they were. Plus when he did get out in front and had clean air he pulled out a 14 sec lead (granted he was on Super Softs)

Monaco is becoming a bit of a joke and is frustrating for fans. I think they should scrap the chicane out of the tunnel and just make that part of the lap have a slight right hand curve. At least then there would be an overtaking opportunity.

I think monaco is pants and always have done.  Its just rubbish for overtaking.  Buttons tyres were 2 seconds a lap faster and closed a 16 second lead in less than 8 laps, yet he just couldnt get past.

Id like to see some redesigned track features to allow some more overtaking there otherwise whats the point of the track if the only way you can overtake is to risk an accident and penalty

Lewis's comments post race will travel beyond F1 media tomorrow. He's played a card I never thought he would use. Understandably frustrated

Martin Brundles post-race comment on Twitter. I completely agree - he's thoroughly embarrassed himself.

....The filming from above suggests that Massa would have collided with the third car slightly ahead but to his righthand side if he had moved across for Hamilton. I don't remember who the third driver was.

Indeed, and it looked as though Massa hit that car too but no penalty..............

Not really anywhere you can go once two cars collide in front when your racing.

Is this just me been biased or are people just simply turning into Lewis when ever he puts his car in a position to overtake, both Micheal and jenson did the same thing.

Lewis clearly had the drive on jenson and the speed but he simply turned into him and know doubt lewis will be penalised for that, Micheal did a very similar thing.

Also why do these amazing drivers need a safety car to drive them round a track when it rains surely its up to them to drive to the conditions. Ok if its a terential downpour then stop the race but the minute it started raining the safety car came out. What next a safety car on the M62 when theres some rain???

Starting the race under safety car when it was hardly raining wtf

What is going on, this is pafetic???

Rant over lol.
