Whitmarsh on sky saying they didn't ask hamilton to stop the qualifying lap because they didn't think they would be put at the back of the grid.

That's honest! .. I like Whitmarsh. He's currently my favourite team-boss

 

[Xun]

Sounds like there's a bit of shit going down at Mclaren with 3 people leaving the team.

One of the guys that left/was sacked: https://twitter.com/#!/CraigLongdon_F1

4 guys have left.

I think I'm going to drop him a Tweet.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

The questions, does he give a shit?

If those pictures are anything to go on, no.

 

[Adamm]

Whitmarsh also said that no one has left the team...hmmmmm

 

[Omiee]

Hamilton will either retire from the race or make the top 6. either way he will be losing a lot of points because of this penalty and thats just harsh.

 

[Ark]

Hamilton will also be starting on used extreme wets because he made eye contact with one of the stewards. #f1 #unbelievable

:lol

he never seems to have things going his way these last few years. its either his car, personal problems or the stewards lol.

o and massa.

This weekend we will be playing Justin Bieber over the radio during the pitstop, ends when the car's out, expecting record times. #f1

I think I just found my new favourite Twitter account.

imagine lewis making the podium.

 

[Nolan.]

I'm really impressed with Lewis' attitude actually he seems determined regardless of what comes his way this season

It's very commendable.

Button managed 1st from last and six trips through the pits in a rainy Canada with two safety cars and Webber managed 3rd from way back on the grid in China but he had fresh tyres. It's unlikely that Hamilton will make the top 6, but I can hope.

He knows he has the fastest car, they just need to get some things right. last year they had a slower car than rbr and all the shit was happening to him on top of that were the reasons why he was pissed.

but he is def a different person from last year.

It's way better that the team be the one making mistakes and not him. I think a solid driver in a flawed team is more likely to find success than an inconsistent driver in a more stable team.

 

[Omiee]

BBC start the preshow already =(

 

[Ark]

Who wants to start the betting that McLaren screw up Hamilton's strategy or his pitstops today?

I'm calling for both.

I'll take that bet.

I'm calling for perfection from McLaren for once (Hamilton's side).

 

[Adamm]

Hamilton will get up to 1st place on the last lap, but run out of fuel!

Nah dont think so. They wont be having the same problems they had the last few races.

i think their strategy will be on point.

 

[ANDY_098]

Looks damp... awesome.

 

[Omiee]

i hope it stays dry for the start of the race. rain in the middle of the race would be exciting though.

 

[Omiee]

sky you are terrible. there is no added value to the skypad bullshit.


sorry dp

 

[Adamm]

Bbc has started! Get away from sky now!

 

[Ark]

I love you BBC.

 

[Lach]

Nah he'll win, but he won't have enough fuel to finish the inlap so he'll stop at the pitexit and gets disqualified..

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Just knew they'd mention the Olympics in some manner.

 

[moojito]

Nice to see the brawn gp ads still coming up on gaf! I'm scared to click on them, as it looks dodgy as hell. Nice trip down memory lane, though.

 

[Omiee]

I love you BBC.

my thoughts exactly.

its like watching a professional and amateur.

bbc coverage is awesome.

45mins. You can see on f1.com when exactly it is.

 

[TCRS]

I love you BBC.

Yeah. I remember those dark ITV days where the coverage ended 10 min after the race had finished BBC has been brilliant, which is why I'm hating this BBC/Sky arrangement this year.

BBC has been spoiling us the past few years with their red button coverage.

i never want to go back to RTL coverage only,

 

[Yen]

45min

Thanks guys.

Didn't know that. I think I ask every week.

ITV was the worst. Ads during races is terrible.

you had a false start. go visit the stewards.

All his posts will be deleted, and he'll start from 23 pages ago.

 

[Omiee]

oke someone is not live. because on bbc coulthard is speaking to maldonado on sky coulthard is dropping in the rbr garage to speak to webber.

 

[Yen]

I only saw this recently, but during the ITV days, Sniff Petrol had a "Stop he Cock" campaign against James Allen and were nearly sued. Sniff Petrol had to legally justify how Allen could be a cock.

BBC probably aren't, they pre-record some stuff to make it all run smoother (and it works)

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Nice to see Gary Anderson presenting more features.

 

[Omiee]

people need to get fired if mclaren fuck up their pitstops again.

 

[FuturusX]

Lewis can't win, so I vow my support for Alonso...

 

[kharma45]

Nice to see Gary Anderson presenting more features.

He's the BBC's biggest gain this year for their TV coverage, good to have someone like him on-board.

Plus he's from Northern Ireland so a thumbs up from me automatically

 

[Omiee]

kimi has awe full sunglasses.

He has a much better start so far to his comeback than shumi.

mckenzie looks hot in that dress.
