Canadian GP 2011 - Circuit Gilles Villeneuve

You think that it was possible to
1) Scrub off a bunch of speed on the grass without spinning
2) change sides, once you've scrubbed off speed and are now going slower than your oposition.
3) Then magically make the engine work harder than anyone else's and drive down the outside

You're mad.

A bit of forward planning and he could have. Hamilton was far enough back to be able to seel Button a pretty easy dummy but failed to do this.

No magic would have been required to make the engine work harder as Hamilton was significantly faster than Button and had a lot more speed due to Button messing up the chicane.

As for my sanity, the voices in my head tell me I'm sane.

Then the voices in your head are lying to you. Evil little voices.

Hamilton and Button were both in the middle of the track when they both happened to choose to go left at the same time. There wasn't time to react and go right as, if you watch closely, Hamilton only just missed Button's rear wheel with his front wing as it was.

Lewis's problem was that he was planning ahead and wanted the inside of turn 1. You can't plan for other cars not giving you room on track.

I already said zhat it was buttons fault, but it was a very difficult situation. no weaving from button...

why arent they running, waiting for the next shower?

that is the main issue there. You simply cannot do that in this situation.

Apart from the FIA, the whole grid and quite a few people on this forum, it seems Niki Lauda and Emerson Fittipaldi are also out to get Lewis Hamilton:

my remote batteries have gone dead looks like im stuck on F1 now how is JPM doing

[flynfrog]

oooh remote worked JPM is screwed

[zeph]

Nobody's out to get Hamilton.


I don't think anybody can deny that when Hamilton is in the groove he is absolutely unstoppable, like a force of nature.

But when he's not grooving, he is a liability.


Haven't heard Lauda, but Fittipaldi made a lot of sense. Hamilton needs to pick up yoga.

Anyone has a streaming link? The brazillian TV is showing a football match.

I respect Lauda as a driver, but his quote there is an absolute joke. All of Hamilton's recent incidents, with the exception of the one with Button which was demonstrably not his fault and where other drivers like DC and Brundle do not attribute blame, have been at low speed. To go all health and safety on a couple of low speed incidents is a load of rubbish. And where was Lauda when Webber was crashing into people left right and centre last year?
