The same video I used in another thread. About at 1:00 you can clearly see Hamilton losing parts of his front wing on Lap1, which probably became fateful behind Alonso later on?

Jens there sure were parts comming off that wing.
Does anyone think that Hamilton was unaware of this?
I think you know where I'm leading to with this!

Im 100% sure he would have noticed.. at best theres a possibility he failed to make allowances for the extra straightline speed he might have gained... IF... the pieces that broke off were highly contributive downforce parts, which Im not so sure about.

Still a mystery to me, leaning more towards the red mist descending I think..

Well I'm leaning towards the concept of not whether or not Hamilton was in control.
In a situation more easily marshaled, Hamilton would have been shown a flag
before he had a chance to creme someone else with his already busted up car!
It’s nice that he apologized to Fred. Of course Fred understands $#it happens when you’re racing hard
I seem to recall that Fred saying:

"Speaking for myself, I decided to join the GPDA because my life is at risk when I am driving the cars,"

I must have missed that.

Great video Jen's

that might have contributed to the incident.

oh well,

time to focus on Barcelona

Wouldn't it be nice if those who reckoned Alonso caused the crash were as quick to acknowledge their mistake as Lewis? I don't think Alonso minds what they say about him, but in the interest of fair play and media integrity surely he deserves an apology.

Well, I initially thought he might have been naughty but admitted I was wrong.

However, if we're talking about the media (Martin) then perhaps it would be fair to give him a chance to apologise at the first opportunity i.e. the next GP?
