FUCK U SCHUMI!

 

[Pimpwerx]

Okay...Vettel brings the lulz. :lol That was awesome. PEACE.

 

[navanman]

Vettel nursing his car again. RBR reliability strikes again.

Vettel is a car breaker.

 

[kharma45]

Sounds like Vettel's car could be fucked if he isn't careful!

 

[duckroll]

Lol at RBR. Don't even think about it! We have a car problem! :lol

 

[Blablurn]

:lol @ dialogue between vettel and the box

 

[Dead Man]

Why the hell are all the investigations being done after the race? I understand for the Schumi one, but why not address them during the race?

 

[Stop It]

3 laps, 3.5 seconds. Unless if Hamilton has completely murdered his tyres, he has this race won.

A shame because I would have loved to see a battle between Button and Hamilton, it doesn't look like it was to be. Still, they must be very happy at the team, another 1-2.

Lol at RBR. Don't even think about it! We have a car problem! :lol

Translation: You know that fucking Renault engine? Yeah, it's fucked again, sorry, stop trying to hurt it further.

 

[navanman]

So is this the turning point of the season?
Have RBR blown it and McLaren going to run away with it now?

Yeah, McLaren have been great this weekend, they are looking like the best car at the moment, at least of fast tracks.

Could well be it.

 

[clemenx]

I <3 Canada GP.

 

[Diablohead]

Hamilton pole, Button 2nd, Alonso 3rd.

 

[Mobius 1]

Hamilton yay

 

[Pterion]

Fuck yea!

Best talent in F1 by far.

 

[Brinbe]

Well-Done Hamilton... Cool race, glad to have it back home!

he won it when button did alonso

bullshit by mclaren

 

[Wes]

Schumacher :lol :lol

 

[Dead Man]

Great race, well done Macca, terrible result though!

 

[kharma45]

No points for schumi, I guess you could call it justice.

 

[navanman]

Great race by McLaren.

Vettel cruised over the line, fuel issue? and he has stopped.
He had his hands off the wheel hands in air on the straight.

 

[Pimpwerx]

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! I can finally celebrate. No counting the eggs before they've hatched. Fuck you JTF1. You'll extend your lead another week. I'm just happy my boy got pole and the win this weekend. Kubica ruined the perfect weekend, but that's fine. Hamilton is back where he belongs, leading the WDC! I'm ecstatic. PEACE.

 

[Baconsarnie]

Another good 1-2 for McLaren!

 

[Mobius 1]

Schumacher getting bitter about his non-awesome return, or is just a bad day? :lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Honestly, I don't think that you should read too much into it. Everything changes race-by-race it seems. Ferrari could potentially dominate Valencia for all we know, while Red Bull could even come back or McLaren could end up with another 1-2, it's anyone's guess, really.

Congrats your McLaren gamble paid off. I think I got some decent points too.

 

[Stop It]

So, after this Hamilton - Button 1-2 we have McLaren leading the constructors championships, and for the first time this season (I think) Hamilton leading the World Championship.

If my calcs are correct:

Hamilton: 109
Button: 108
Webber: 103
Alonso: 94
Vettel: 90

This was a high speed track which favours mclaren. We can only speculate for now.

 

[Pterion]

bullshit by mclaren

haters gonna hate

 

[navanman]

The Canadian pit babes are very tasty....

 

[AndyD]

McLaren great. Well see how bad the damage is on racemanager with no bets.

 

[FuturusX]

YEEEAAAHHHH BOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIII

Well done Hamilton.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

not a hater

that's two races in a row where mclaren have called off the race between their drivers.

 

[olore]

Lewis properly enjoying his deserved win again visavi last races more controlled enthusiasm.

Yes, McLaren 1-2, great race, really went to the line this

 

[Stop It]

If it is then RBR will be cursing their reliability, Renault, the weather, their drivers, pretty much everything.

By rights they should have ran off with the season BrawnGP style, instead McLaren and Alonso have crept straight back up and have got back on track. The McLarens are now the team to beat. Reliable, fast, unstoppable?

We're in for a great season, we're not even half done yet.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Not one, but two passes for the lead today. I'll give Alonso credit for retaking the lead on that one lap though. Awesome action today. I'm gonna give the circuit credit for now, although I remember some dreadful races there like 2001. Whatever the case, though, this track should never have left the calendar. Glad it's back.

Now that Lewis is even on wins with Jenson, I can go back to calling him Benson. I'll hold off on that though, since Button's impressed me quite a bit lately. He's got more racing spirit than I gave him credit for. I guess they didn't take yesterday's football match so hard. :lol PEACE.

EDIT: Ferrari fans should be happy. That car was on pace or faster than the Macs today. Quite a feat given their last few races.

 

[Pterion]

And Hamilton beats Button once again. Ah, feels good to be proven right.

 

[Deadman]

Perfect weekend for me fantasy wise and real life betting wise

Schumacher bad today, very bad.

Yeah, wonder what thoughts are running through his head now. Mercedes have their work cut out. Rosberg does seem to be a bit more comfortable in the M-car though

mclaren called it off? i think hamilton going .7s a lap faster with purple sectors as soon as button started gaining was enough to end the race.

 

[Lince]

Alonso blaming traffic :lol

 

[Arhal_Katarn]

Alonso blaming traffic :lol

Nothing to :lol at. He would have been in front of LH after the pits if he wasn't held up on his in lap.
Red Bull has fucking blown it, they should have been miles in front in the championship by now. You know what i wouldn't write off Alonso, getting a new car next race and he is the best driver by quite a long way.
But well done to LH and JB.

 

[navanman]

What? As soon as Button threatened Hamilton, he went a put in the fastest race of the race at that point. He was comfortably faster, still props to Button on a good race too.

 

[navanman]

Alonso blaming traffic :lol

He can feel hard done by, but thats racing.
He was held up first by Lotus when he should have kept the lead after Lewis pit stop and then he got screwed for his overtakes by back markers and was then passed by both McLarens.

 

[thechemist]

Excellent job by the mclarens, great for Alonso as well, Massa had very bad luck again.

 

[Igo]

Brilliant race.

Alsonso was able to close up on Lewis before his last stop because of traffic so he shouldn't complain too much. He did certainly lose 2nd because because of traffic though.

McLaren really need to sort out their pit stops. Second race in a row where Lewis has lost a position because of slow stops. They had major issues in China too. Hope it doesn't continue back in europe.

At one point he was talking some nonsense about how Jenson has been acknowledged by the team to preserve his tyres better when they've said no such thing. McLaren have actually come out and said that they've seen no data that supports that but yet here this fool is pulling bs out of his ass. What made it even more hilarious is when Lewis responded to Jenson's pressure by pulling a fastest lap out of his bag. Legard did manage to keep his mouth shut after Lewis' engineer came on the radio and said he had the pace and told him to go back to saving his tyres though.

It's such a shame we don't have David Croft from 5live on the main broadcast. Hopefully the BBC shuffle everybody for next season.

What a fantastic race to see live! There was some really great action at the hairpin. I will try to post some pics and a couple more videos when I get back from Au Pied de Cochon.
