Jenson Button has masterfully driven to his first win of the year, his first for McLaren. In the early stages he switched tyres at the right time while he succesfully nursed his option tyres to the end of the race. Robert Kubica is a happy second for Renault, followed by Felipe Massa.

Autogyro watch the vid again, its clear as day.
Hmmm, perhaps this is going to far, if I was wrong before.marcush. wrote:process -pit stop and pitstop preparation is of course a part of the process management and of course a signe of proper quality planning,caims of sub 3 second pitstops is not a sign of proper planning when in reality the crew has yet to perform a sub 3 second stop officially...maybe it was as simple as a bit of debris ,a ridge or whatever jamming between mounting face on the hub and the rim ..who knows.
As the wheel did not come off completely it must have been the drive pegs sheared off or the holes on the other part securing the pegs worn off ..or could the whel go that far out till the stops and disengage from the hub drive?..
You must still think that the Earth is flat and if you sail to far out to sea you'll fall off the end of the world.segedunum wrote:Just_a_fan wrote:I'm afraid not.Hamilton was very quick today and was all over (and passing) other, supposedly superior, cars all race until the last few laps. On similar tyres he drove away from Webber in the chase after the Ferraris.
I also don't think that the Ferrari and the Mercedes are in the same league at the moment. I would say Schumacher would have scored a better finish had he not been hit. The car may well have been damaged beyond the front wing, but I think his head went down a bit as well after that.dave34m wrote:Didnt really see Schumacher doind much in the whole race.

Are you size-ist, WB? I wouldn't have thought it. Since when did personal stature effect who can be a world champion?WhiteBlue wrote:It begins with his physical size (too tall, too heavy)
Well, the temperatures were indeed much different. I would instead be very curious about the way they've chosen to deal with their engine thirst...If for this reason alone, i think they'd need an F-duct as fast as we need the ride height regulator...Shaddock wrote: On a serious note:
I thought Ferrari’s lack of performance during the race could be due to the team turning the engines down a little after the issues they had in the last race.
It certainly is, and that's certainly what I'm hinting at. OK, this was a nut that went wrong at a pit stop (there's no telling what third or fourth hand damage one of those wheels going wrong would cause), but it's all to do with people and processes.marcush. wrote:quality is not only component related it is as much process related.
Could it be the brake scoops hoovering up titanium dust from the front wing skids and debris?creedbratton wrote:I'm not completelly sure about who this happened to, but I'm pretty sure it was a red bull. Anyway I am sure that i saw sparks, the kind created from metal on metal contact, come from the pneumatic rattle gun come from the right front wheel.
