First Kovalainen let's Humilton past and then slows the rest of the pack.

Maybe..... Kovalainen just wasn't that fast at that stage...?

Hamilton was a lot quicker than Kovalainen that was clear for everyone (I thought).
Maybe time for a pair of glasses for you.
But I guess you thought as this thread as a kind of "payback" for all those pointless threads about teamorders in Ferrari over the years. Two wrongs does not make 1 right though.

No, you're right: the fact that he was lapping 6 seconds + faster than other guys on the same tires is irrelevant, really.

what you implied is that he is the best in the world? Geez so the previous two race Massa was the best driver in the world then right?. You argument are quite funny indeed.

That was on a par with Senna at Donington. A different class to all the others.
That should make the Hamilton anti fan club STFU.

That is probably the best wet weather drive for forty years since Stewart in Germany in 1968.
Masterful. No question.

How's this relevant? LH was great today no question about it. Doesn't change the fact Kovalainen gifted his position to him with blatant team orders.

It was blatantly obvious that Hamilton was faster from the start. Had they started from the same row, he'd have been at least a second ahead by the end of lap 1.

"Blatant" meaning there is no evidence of it? And even if he was given an order to move over, why should that be a problem?Originally posted by DoubleWDC

You should get a better dictionary. The problem is Mclaren talking about equality and enforcing team orders at halfway of the season.

What would you have him do? crash into his own team mate and McLaren wouldn't get a single point? Come on man.............Originally posted by DoubleWDC

*EDIT: Hami came up so fast behind him, it would be either let him ahead or crash.**
Second he never held back anyone.

Good grief, can you at least feign a little intelligence? No one's asking you to become a Rhodes Scholar overnight but, Jesus, the lack of anything remotely approaching grammar, syntax, logic or comprehension is soul-sapping. Have some sympathy for the poor saps that have to read the drivel that you spew.
1 He's Australian.
2 It's the middle of the night there, so he 's probably "tired and emotional".
3 Superman's so dumb, he wears his underpants outside his trousers [old joke!]
Nevertheless, he's still talking bollocks.

Since you seem to be so knowledgeble, tell me when did i did not post sensibly?. Tell me who first start an insult?
Grow up. If you spoke to someone face to face they way you post you would have a broken nose.

Doug
Not really, if it had been in the pitlane there would be cries of fuel loads and so forth.
This wasn't any differant to the BMW's at Canada. Hamilton was faster and Heikki didn't defend. Not really team orders.

No team orders at all, Heiki's car was very twitchy, worked good for him in the dry but not in the wet. Lewis was simply a lot quicker.
Yep. There's a huge difference between, "we want Lewis to win, slow down and let him pass, Heikki" and "Lewis is a lot quicker than you, you're holding him up, so please don't fight him because we don't want you to take each other out of the race."

They could very well have done the same thing for Kova. That's equality. "Equality" doesn't mean they never issue team orders. You should get a better dictionary.Originally posted by DoubleWDC
