Italian GP 2010 - Monza

Can anybody tell me what tyres lewis is starting on?

I the interview I saw Hamilton said that he made a wrong choice without the F-duct. He also mentioned that he was running behind Webber in the corners and loosing downforce. But he did not complain of blocking.

Ferrari are surprisingly strong and Red Bull very weak in Monza.

Does F1 technical pay repeat fees? See my previous posts, I've covered that already.

The track condition usually improves from practise to quali as you know, and as was the case here today. Virtually everyone posted better times in qualifying compared to the practise.

If Lewis says that the current config he used today was the 'wrong' choice then that doesn't explain everything. For once, it doesn't explain how he ended up posting a slower time in qualifying contrary to everyone else. Sounds to me an excuse to get rid of the media real quick and focus onto the job at hand.

You don't have to behave like an a$$ Plus, you did not mention Hamilton losing downforce because of Webber. That, I did.

Good that he didn't.

In Webber's interview, he seemed a bit "shaken", like he's feeling a bit rough this morning or something...?

Edit: this was not written in any way in reference to the previous posts.

Not in the interview I saw which was imediately after qualifying. Seems it was added later for whatever reason.

Maybe they got the tip from here (me )

"I think potentially it had quite a big impact on the end result," said Hamilton of removing the F-duct. "I'm quite disappointed, I think, with fifth place.

"We chose to go with the lighter downforce level, which doesn't have the F-duct, and the car is sliding everywhere so I struggled quite a lot on each tyre and I just didn't have the downforce.

"Wrong choice, bit of a mistake, but we'll still push hard tomorrow."

True. He seemed pretty disappointed with the result. Maybe it was just that?

I wonder if the new wing tests have hampered Red Bull? Whilst Horner has played down their chances, I didn't think they would be that thy would be the 3rd team.

You never know who's reading.

How many Monza poles did MS take in a red car anyway? Now he finds himself in 12th spot, sandwiched by a Force India and a Sauber, his young team-mate in Q3, makes me wonder why he bothers with this, like watching your mother drunk.

[ell66]

for te third time, are the all on softs? i read some where that lewis is on the primes.

[Giblet]

Not too long ago the whole Monza crowd was laughing and pointing at Alonso when his Renault engine exploded and he was out of the race.

Now they kiss his feet and praise him as if he just came down from heaven.

Ferrari, the biggest bandwagon on the planet.

Webber held up Hamilton at the last try. Hamilton slowed down in the run to parabolica before his final lap to allow himself some gap but Webber slowed down too. Unfortunately Hamilton made an error in his first lap at the 2nd chicane. He could've easily gotten a front row position.

What rot, Hamilton said himself that he screwed up by not using the F-Duct and was sliding all over the place thru out all of qually.

Guys, Lewis posted a 22.4 in the morning practise and that was without the f-duct too. The only logical explanation to this is the one dougskullery has given.

Different conditions mate, what he did in P3* means nothing!

*usually slightly cooler conditions in the morning for starters.

On the plus side he was 3/10ths faster than Seb and seemed to have his measure on the soft tires in general.
