I think Hamilton was waiting for Massa to roll out the carpet for him at that point.
You'll have to ask Hamilton. He's the one who said it.
EDIT: You changed your original reply now mine makes absolutely no sense.![]()
👍
What was it he said...
"Is your front wing ok Lewis?
Yeah it should be ok. Massa turned in on me, that was on purpose"
I remember hearing about a future RBR drive coming his way. It was in Australia or Malaysia. I can't remember where I heard it. I think the SpeedTV commentators mentioned it.As for Kobayashi, it was a great showing from him. I hope he eventually gets his chance at a top team...
Sound similar to someone else we know?
Yes, that was an Alonso joke. You're all welcome.
Disclaimer: I like Alonso (except when he's bitching) so there's no "I hate Alonso and wish he were dead." motif from me.
F1 FanAs for Kobayashi, it was a great showing from him. I hope he eventually gets his chance at a top team...
As for Lewis, he has a tendency to put other drivers in a dangerous situation, where they will either make contact with him, make contact with the wall or back off. If they back off, he is lauded as "brilliant". If they touch him, he whines over the radio "so and so hit me. That was deliberate"... A shallow attempt to try and get the attention of Charlie Whiting.
He's a very dirty driver on an ego trip. He needs to learn that this is Formula one and NOT!!!! the Lewis Hamilton show.
In all fairness, when is the last time you heard him moan? The last time I recall was in Valencia - and legitimately because guess who - LH - broke the rules about the safety car. I think Alonso gets an unfair wrap from his McL days, he really doesnt seem to be that guy anymore.
It's just ridiculous. These drivers are absolutely frickin' ridiculous. Just stupid.
Hamilton and Massa
It was definitely a very desperate overtake by Hamilton, but I think Massa turned in slightly too early to block Hamilton and ended up hitting both Mark Webber and Hamilton.

Monte Carlo is like a Euro trash version of Martinsville....With all the same girl y cat fights afterward (or with words because their too big a pussies to actually have a good ol' fight).
Button had a good race, its too bad Vettel got to change his tires in the pits. Thats the big white elephant in the room, or it should be.
Without fresh tires he would have been driving on the canvas those last 3 laps.....And Alonso would have passed & maybe Button would have gotten up in there too.
The Red Bull tire strategy is a BLATANT EXAMPLE of the level most of the Red Bull team is actually at (average at best). The reason they've won is because the chassis has super good downforce & mechanical grip. But the guys calling the shots are average F1 guys.....who would be mid pack if they were commanding the Ferrari or Mercedes.
In my humble opinion, Christian Horner has always struck me as a very arrogant, domineering man who really is not bright compared to Peter Sauber or Stefano Domenicali.... Although I have only watched every race since last year. Just got into it.
You must be very cautious on praising Kobayashi's overtaking moves then, I'm a fan of his too but even his overtake on Sutil today was a dive down the inside and was not as in control as Hamilton was. He only got a reprimand today though.
I think Brundle said something Schumacher being wise about seeing Hamilton being there and then giving him some space.
His moves did not demand Maldonado or Massa to move out the way, just relied on them giving minimal room for them to both make the corner but he got completely shut off on both attempts. Maldonado's crash was simply because he was not looking in the mirror and did not see Lewis was near him but drivers should be aware in a DRS zone about someone possibly attempting to overtake even if it is opportunistic but it was very similar to the Schumacher one. Lewis got an advantage from making the opportunistic move as he gained Maldonado's place without losing any in the end so his risk paid off in the end as it could be crucial points required to keep him in the title race.
Most drivers don't appreciate it as it puts them in a difficult position to get past and lose position. The reason why the stewards penalised him was him being the car behind and if he stays behind, there would have been no collision and would have all been avoidable. However if Maldonado or Massa gave him slight room, both incidents he would have got no penalty I believe so shows how much the driver in front has got in terms of power. I remember Singapore last year about the clash with Lewis and Mark, had Lewis been the leading car and Webber was attempting a pass, Mark would have been penalised but it went down as a racing incident as Lewis was not fully ahead of Webber before turning in and claiming the position entirely.
On a side not, I have noticed you spell ‘ridiculous’ wrong on many occasions. Not a personal attack or anything I thought you would like to know as I always find the incorrect spelling of ‘ridiculous’ funny as usually in context it is about someone complaining about something. It might help you out in future.
I have to admit, I dont quite get what you are saying - you agreeing or disagreeing![]()
I think the only real question here is why did Kobayashi recieve no penalty for his dive on Sutil?
Exactly. Maybe he passed him later during that lap? That would explain why he received no penalty. From my point of view he tried to abort the pass, lost control of the rear, hit Sutil, but he didn't pass him that corner. I thought Sutil was still in front at the exit of Mirabeau. He had a bad drive out of it, but it should have been enough to stay ahead until the hairpin. The camera didn't let me see the end of the action, but I noticed Kobayashi was in front of Sutil at the end of the lap. Can anybody clarify where Kobayashi passed Sutil?
