Well so Rookie does it again...!!

1) Hamilton
2) Alonso +1.5s
3) Massa +11.3s
4) Kimi +2.5s

Well didnt see the race live..but monitored every lap times... And i must say Kimi was real awesome in mid sector and even at the end..!! he screwed up on the first lap i guess.!! i dont know what happened after 2nd pitstop...on timing screen i thought he could hv passed Massa ... but he didnt..

anyways.... there was solid fight between Mclarens in the middle stint (one instance where both were side by side).. and towards the end it was Ferrari's... Well dunno but looks like it was a decent race..!!

Mclaren owned ferrari again.

@Arsenal :- The only reason why Mclaren won was the sheer pace of car... There was nothing like stunning drive from any of these drivers..

If you saw the race, u must have seen Kimi's pace..If only he did that kind of driving regularly, he'd win some... Doing the fastest lap with the harder compound tyres takes some doing.

Just wait for European Break..!!

bad luck for heidfield ...good see Ferrari back to pace .... hope they make progress by the French Gp

Did you saw the skills of hamilton,he held his own even when Fernando was all over him.He was flawless.
For me it was stunning driving from Lewis,and very good try by Fernando.
The difference between 2nd and 3rd place was 12.8 seconds,if this is not ownage I don't know what is.

[Dipen01]

Well that was due to back markers dude....well yeah thats the part of the race...so i dont mean to say that we should exclude it..

but u can compare lap times of all the laps...and all three cars (lewis,alonso,massa) were around same whole race... except for kimi who was blazing in midsector (ofcourse he was stupid enough not able to pass roseberg and heiki)..but so what i meant was... if not for that back markers... we could have witnessed a 4way battle..!!

plus lewis we all know..doesnt crack under pressure...(atleast till his 7th race, we havent seen him make a single mistake).. Fernando is desperate so he is bound to attack and he is pretty good at it.. he is know for that..!!

But basically its technical teams at Ferrari who need to raise thier level..!! if they can proved kimi and massa with at par car...then we can see some real 4 way racing..!!

and NO i havent seen the race so i didnt see skills of hamilton..!! but i just know that they were side by side goin thru corner one..!!

[Arsenal_Gunners]

You should have seen it.Period.

[mehulved]

Hamilton is just amazing. The way he held his nerves when cryonso attempted to overtake him was really great to watch.
I can't get it, what's wrong with Ferrari. The cars had the pace to match McLaren's but just seemed to take things too lightly.

[Dipen01]

^^^
i guess they underperformed in Qualifying..!!

[mehulved]

3rd and 4th can't be said to underperform. And a gap of 10+ secs doesn't have anything to do with qualifying, there was no one between massa and raikonnen for almost whole race.

[s18000rpm]

Kimi

he is Quick, thats all.

if he starts the race from pole - he wins, otherwise he stays in the position he started from.

not at all a fighter, doesnt EVEN TRIES to overtake.

did you see how Fisichella was attacking? even tho Kimi had quick car, he didnt even try. he got past the cars coz of Pit Stops
----------

whineso at it again, yesterday if you watched the telecast from 9:30, you might have seen it too. its a BIG time news, Whineso furious/jealous on his team mate's success

atleast we(ferrari) dont have such whining driver.
-------------
if you didnt know, Lewis was trained by Ron Dennis since Lewis was 12 & they say Ron kind of ADOPTED Hamilton.
Ron's the guy who brought Kimi too

good name....
i hav started hating him....

[mehulved]

oops,the ferrari guys look confused

Well there's no doubt that pace was there. Kimi had the fastest lap in the race and Massa's fastest lap was not too far behind the McLaren's. And car's balance was quite good too. They were quite competent with McLaren in straight line speed and I believe ferrari's were faster in the corners.

I wonder if ur here to debate whoz better or bad...or WHY FERRARIs Suck or why Alonso's GOD or whatever..

We should be having some healthy discussion/trivia etc...not just Alonso "LOVERS" fighting with Ferrari supporters...

[Arsenal_Gunners]

I am here for the latter.As I said,the football season is over and irritating ferrari guys is my new pastime

[Dipen01]

If thats the case then dont worry No debate with you on that issue now on... because basically theres no point ...

Anyways..

Is there any GP in the past..where the Winner has even lapped the 2nd place finisher..!! ??

[abhi_10_20]

whoa......i too wanna know....
i guess it wud'nt hav happened....

[napsterabhi]

possible in Monaco.....

[ratedrsuperstar]

well last year alonso came close 2 lap the second place i guess massa with a 5 sec gap of overlapping in Monaco i think.

Alonso and Hamilton agree pact of silence

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso have agreed not to talk about each other to the media unless they are both present. The move comes after a couple of weeks in which conflicting reports in the British and Spanish media have suggested there is a major rift developing between the two.

Montoya: Hamilton is McLaren's first driver

Former McLaren driver Juan Pablo Montoya believes McLaren definitely has a number one driver in their team: Lewis Hamilton. Montoya believes Hamilton is doing a good job, but that his team-mate Alonso is most likely not equally treated at the Woking-based team.


Speaking about current championship leader Lewis Hamilton Montoya told AP: "I think the kid is doing a good job, they have the fastest car and he's clearly the No. 1 on the team. But there's always a No. 1 at McLaren. I mean, Fernando Alonso said it himself. Didn't he? That's what the media was saying.

"I don't really follow it too much, but Ron (Dennis) paid his whole career. He got to Formula One because Ron paid for his whole career. Aside from the kid having talent, Ron paid for him. Ron has told him where to go, arranged the deals for him, and paid for it over his whole career. He's been under Ron Dennis since the kid was 8 years old or something.

"The long-term of McLaren is Hamilton. That's the thing, they are both doing a really good job, and the car is really fast. So even if you do a bad job in a good car, you are still going to finish second or third. And (in Canada), everybody messed up but him, and he won the race. And he's been getting quicker and quicker. And I heard Fernando is not very comfortable in the car, either."

Montoya does believe that the 22-year-old Briton is a talented driver. "Oh, he's really good. I am not going to say the guy is not good. The guy is really good. But he has an advantage that ... they are always going to say that it's equal stuff. But there really always is a favourite driver on the team."
