Hardly. He got off line behind Massa and the combination of low downforce (slipstream) and wet track punted him off.

Nice to see Lewis getting his head down and racing. All the whiny sound bites from him over the past week have been tiring. He may not be the most sparkling personality, but boy can he race.



Nobody would gamble on dry tires in these conditions. The track was half-wet at the start. They'll probably save the hard tires till the end, thanks to those cold conditions, too.

Hasnt been able to catch him back since going off, considering how fast he was before, I think they have gone off quite a bit.

Although they seem to have come back, who knows. :/
 
He's right on him now.

Yes, the tires are pretty worn now, but he's still faster than Massa.

EDIT: Schumi vs. Kobayashi... :lol: ...and under investigation, too.
 
I'm hoping for a Mclaren win but Vettel seems to have the faster car today. I'm hoping Vettel will be reigned in soon but it's looking unlikely. :grumpy:

From what I saw, Schumi ran into the rear end of Koboyashi :grumpy:

Still, can happen - don't get me wrong, I don't like dirty racing. But it can happen and isn't something a driver should be penalized for.
 
Ridiculous!
Penalty for Schumi. If steward kept giving penalty for racing incident, it's no fun anymore.
 
I love how DC was saying Button is the master of changeable conditions, and then half a breathe later was chastising him for burning up his inters 👍
 
@Xpower:
It's call defense move but not too overly. ;)

Team Lotus out of British GP with both of the cars out.
 
After the three top teams Force India are running 7th and 8th :D

Amazing passes from the two McLarens though :D
 
A racing incident is one where you're making a move that has a chance of sticking. Not lunging from a million miles back and battering into the guy you're overtaking because you have no chance of stopping in time. Kamui gave Schumacher all the space in the world.

Hamilton is doing a fantastic job. I'm almost ready to forgive him for being a whiny little so-and-so all week.

Just noticed with Schumacher's stop go. Mercedes' uniforms in the pit have a little arrow showing the pit crew which end to point at the urinals... :lol:
 
On the Beeb. Hardly call that aggressive driving from Massa, he could have been much crueler.
