Stinkenzo Posted 23 September 2012 Share Posted 23 September 2012 No way is he one of the better drivers on the grid but his car is an absolute dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Posted 23 September 2012 Share Posted 23 September 2012 Feel sorry for Hamilton, considering a top 2 finish was a certainty. The race was pretty boring overall but the highlight has to be the Massa-Senna fight, that was on the edge stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaidno Posted 23 September 2012 Share Posted 23 September 2012 Marussia now in front of Caterham in the constructors after Glocks P12. Di Resta has put himself in the shop window with that result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trav Le Bleu Posted 23 September 2012 Share Posted 23 September 2012 Is anyone else embarrassed for Schumacher? It's horrible to see a sporting great carry on past their prime. Having said that I'd love for him to win one more race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSi13 Posted 25 September 2012 Share Posted 25 September 2012 Absolutely staggering Hamilton finds himself 4th in the standings, below Raikkonen who hasn't looked like winning a race all season whereas Hamilton has either won a GP or had to retire, often either first or in a podium place at the time. All whilst being in a league of his own during qualifying (personally i think a driver should get championship points for getting a pole position). I don't think i've ever seen such an unlucky season for a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack Posted 28 September 2012 Share Posted 28 September 2012 When you cut all the crap out of this Hamilton story the bottom line is McLaren couldn't afford to offer him another massive contract but Mercedes did. All the rest is just bluster and bollocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted 28 September 2012 Share Posted 28 September 2012 not really McLaren have been shooting themselves in the foot 1 way or another ever since Whtmarsh took over from Ron Dennis and they steadfastly refuse to back 1 driver over another until Mathematically 1 cannot win the title. Hamilton needs to be the main focus of the team and Mercedes' poor form this year has allowed them to already start focusing on the new set of regs when they come in in the summer which will be a lot different from the current set and they also have a bigger budget full stop then McLaren do now not to mention Ross Brawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaidno Posted 28 September 2012 Share Posted 28 September 2012 Hamilton will be on the back foot next season, but when the new regulations happen in 2014, he's in a good team. When the last major rules changes happened in 2009, Ross Brawn understood them the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 28 September 2012 Share Posted 28 September 2012 Interesting move...aided by a decent wage I am sure. If anyone could get the best out of a car it might be Hamilton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin Posted 28 September 2012 Share Posted 28 September 2012 What's fascinating now is how today's events are potentially going to create a whirlwind of driver movement in the lower teams as numerous drivers try and claim the empty Sauber seat. Another situation that could come about is the return of a certain German driver to Maranello... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
