Maldonado is a complete idiot. What more he should do to get banned for a couple of races?

Go Massa!

Maybe he'll get a 5 second penalty on his time at the end of the race.

That'll learn him :roll:

This is why I rate Bruno Senna higher than Maldonado.

You don't see this crap with him every race.

He might not be as fast, but he does a good job overall of making his race count.

It seems the hards are working much better than the options.

Apparently Perez says "Not Maldonado again, why does he drive like this?"

The McLarens were going quite well through the speed traps it seemed.
So Lewis actually manages to almost overtake Alonso via slipstream while ALONSO has the DRS open in front.

Was I right?

In dry conditions they are really slow .. They have admitted that they are not quick through the high speed corners ... I was hoping it would rain but it was not to be .. I see it's become a bit darker now so fingers crossed.

Hamilton pitted and is on options now.

EDIT: McLaren have been the fastest in the pit stops! Button and Hamilton both 2.8s :mrgreen:

Wow finally Hamilton got a great pit stop.

Perhaps they've changed the diet of his pit crew? make them a little less flabby and slow turning them into a trim outfit, Not a Macca Fan but I like everyone to be competitive.
If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

Not enjoying this merc performance at all ... No pace in the car at all ... Not too sure about the tyre deg but the car itself is struggling.
