Any more pictures of The Greatest Driver Ever ''suffering''(bbc talk) from a crash?

[Giblet]

The Greatest Driver Ever? I assume this is a sarcastic Hamilton slam. Well played! Unexpected! Hurrah!

[P_O_L]

Allright, allright it was a little sarcasm but i had no bad intention. Besides how jacky stewart and stirling moss describe lewis makes you quickly reffer to him with just that.

Anyway id still love to see some pics more than i find on the usual sites.

So when do we see the Hamilton/De La Rosa swap? Everybody jumped in Massas' --- for spinning off in Maylaysia over a mistake, so let's see if they do the same for Hamilton.

This is a joke for those of whom can't/don't get sarcasm.

And Hamilton's mistake was even worse than Massa's, Hamilton actually destroyed his car against the barriers while Massa simply beached himself. Hamilton's off track excursion might mean that he hasn't coped with the new regulations either. So I wonder what other new sensation would be the best choice for his replacement, since the management over at McLaren are currently deciding on who to choose since Hamiltons spin. And they must be cancelling his 5 year contract as we speak...

But I doubt anyone will bother to discuss and critize Hamilton's spinning, right? I believe theres a word for that, hypocrisy.

I couldn't hold back from responding, sorry...

But It's your fault Ray, you got me started!

Good night people.

Ferrari is running a different front wing as claimed in some websites

Why is Ferrari using the Marlboro bar-code livery in Bahrain? As opposed to previous years when they used the official Marlboro livery in full.

Is tobacco related sponsorship now illegal in Bahrain as well? IIRC, that probably leaves China the only remaining country to allow tobacco related sponsorship.

And I just saw Hamiltons car right after the accident, it looked pretty awful. Poor guy, I hope things get back to normal for him soon enough. Although a low points finish, or non points finish from Hamilton might be a good thing for Massa if he manages to hold things together and win the race.

Edit: P_O_L, motorsport.com has some very good pictures from Hamiltons accident. Check out Friday practice 2, spefically on pages 12-14. There's even a good view of the wooden plank on the underside of his car, which is a rare and special view.

Actually I think Hami did a much better job than Massa, beaching is weak, real men knock all the wheels off! lol (And they always hold their hands up and admit it was their fault )

Rosberg fastest in Saturday practice!! Looks like they are definately over their Sepang issues!

Kubica on POLE! Great stuff...Lewis has recovered well from the crash (using the T car).

Great to see a Pole on pole! =D> I assume he was running VERY light(?)

Good to see Williams closer to the top. Hope they can continue to improve.

Toyota really seem to have massively improved their quali performance. Top ten in each race so far for Trulli. Good to see.

Well done BMW. I do wonder if they fuelled the ferraris for the entire race?

Yeah thrilled to see RK on pole, but he's definitely not a 0.7sec faster driver than Heidfeld. Must be light.

Slightly disappointed with Nakajima, looks like Williams have yet another Alex Wurz this year. Fast in testing, bad qualifier.

You're hilarious. And they are stopping in the pits just for tyres, because the regulations state that they must race both compounds, right?

C'mon, Ferrari is better than Chuck Norris, isn't that so?

Red Bull money + Adrian Newey design + Renault power =

No Red Bull in top 10?

Are Webber and Coulthard to blame or should we cut them some slack? I should think Newey has had enough time to make the car more competitive.
