Just saw the video of the Hamilton/Maldonado incident.

It's an iffy call to be quite frank.

Both were at fault...Hamilton should have ceded position and not crowded him off the track. But Maldonado's move into Hamilton was unnecessary.

Generator/dynamo - generates the electricity used by the engine and other systems.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

both drivers were stupid.

Maldonado for trying to overtake at all there when he knew Hamilton's tires were in freefall.

Hamilton for not backing off. Maldonado technically passed him off track, would have had to return the position if Hamilton backed off.

Maldonado probably farther along the stupidity race though

That's overoptimistic, don't you think? Didn't the Lotus have better pace on the longer runs?
overly optimistic huh??

WELL DONE FERNANDO!! :)
Well, we don't know what might've happened if Grosjean didn't retire.

You have to admit, this race was full of fortunes. I'm also very happy as a Schumacher fan, seeing Stella hug Schumacher reminded me of the good ol' days of the Scuderia. 8)

dont be stupid, in that situation drivers always squeeze the other guy out and they then back out of it, it happened many times today at the same corner, but block head maldo kept his foot in with all 4 wheels off track causing an accident.

Yes...I agree...if an alternator recieves too much current it will overheat.
Generally I don't care about what people say. I have to be clear with myself. When everything goes well, people celebrate you, when you make mistakes people criticize you.
