Good Job to Brawn... veterens always deserve their victories... Unfortunate for Ferarri as I'm their fan for decades - no podium finish New Kid on the Block Hamilton is very lucky, but I gotta say you don't just come in and start winning races... you gotta respect the veterens
Can see the pattern... esp last season, that hamilton is quite lucky... I tell you who is unlucky but have skills.. barrichello... for past few years, since he drives for Ferrari until today you can see that... But now, if you wanna talk about slow, I read it somewhere that one of the lowest hp cars is Ferrari, even Toyota has higher hp for their car plus the rest of the 'top guns'... esp when Michael Schumacher was driving and winning non stop for Ferrari...
You're right hamilton was lucky in Monaco, China & Brazil 2007.........and in Spa 2008..... Barrichello is not that good a driver. He is good, but this year he is slower than Button & he showed his cautiousness when following piquet last weekend. He could have overtaken him at least a lap earlier, and should have done it the first corner, but he didn't take the chance. Had he done so he may have got a different break later in the race. HP is not everything in F1. Ferraris problems comes from a lack of leadership at the top of the team & strength of character in the drivers. Massa lacks self confidence & raikonnen is quick but is not the man to develop a car.
strength of character? is Juan Pablo Montoya an example? is not the leadership. it that 'heartless' engineer! setup his own team using "Mercedes" engine which is outdated than LH using now, still able to leave LH eating the sands at behind. furthermore, without KERS...
Raikkonen is sinfully boring as a person. Lewis Hamilton is good, but on the arguement that he is unlucky can also mean that he was lucky last year that he had a good car. Barichello can do a surprise lap sometimes, but overall far slower than his former self. I still stand by my point of view that Webber is the unluckiest driver in the lineup lol
I don't think hamilton is Lucky or unlucky...just normal... Kubica is the unluckiest this season IMO....His team left challenging for the title last year to focus on the rule change and have totally messed it up. At least Webber has a decent car.
Any of you use planet-f1.com? I really really really (I can't say it enough with my heart) hate how they keep using the -gate suffix to their scandal titles. It's dull, boring, not even humerous, and cliche. They need better column writers and editors. Indy-gate Spy-gate Stepney-gate Mosley-gate (to a certain extent) Chicane-gate Diffuser-gate Liar-gate When I heard the first scandal which carried the suffix (Indy) I had a good chuckle, but when they did it again my thoughts were.. Umm okay.. Then they did they Diffusergate and that changed my perspective completely. Then upon the McLaren radio scandal I thought "Surely they dare not..." and voila the maestro did it again. Get a f*cking dictionary and look at other words! I know that it's a reference to the watergate scandal, but it's really stupid and a no brainer if used over and over again. Chew balls. To be fair, it's not only PF1, so I apologize, it's the whole F1 news coverage community. But PF1 uses it a lot, i.e. splits 1 news into 3 separate articles which uses familiar names.
