LH says he made FM do that fault

[ioan]

<<"Felipe had a couple of moves but fortunately I was able to trick him into outbraking himself. I apologise for that, but at the end of the day we got the points so it doesn't really matter.">>

I know he is happy with his deserved result, but making someone outbrake himself? A driver does outbrake himself because he misjudges the situation, but to claim that you made him do that is a bit over the top.

hardly much of a situation to bring up.. but I suppose you have a point..

I think he is suggesting that he left his braking unusually late, in order to trick Massa into outbraking himself. The fact that Lewis locked up his front tyres would seem to back up this claim. Or perhaps he is just playing mind games, who knows? Either way, Lewis's comment livened up the press conference.

Whatever he did, he kept his position and Massa lost two. So congrats to him.

Ioan can't help himself. there are a number of threads he has to start every day and if it's not a worship to MS then it must be something against Mclaren. So what am I supposed to say about this? quite a nice race, wasn't it?

[Robinho]

by not conceding the position, therefore braking as late as he could himself forced Massa to brake later off the racing line and could'nt scrub the speed to make the corner, twice. it was good racecraft by LH, so you could say he forced Massa into it, especially having seen how well it worked out for him the first time

[Erki]

Oh my. The guy is only driving his second F1 GP and already he makes dirty maneuvers!

[F1boat]

And he seems fairly arrogant to me...

[TMorel]

arrogant?

dirty maneuvers?

sounds like a future world champion to me

[BeansBeansBeans]

Oh please, there was nothing dirty about it, it was just good hard racing, which is what we all want.

As for him being arrogant - what he said seemed quite cocky, but there's no problem with that. It was the sort of thing that Valentino Rossi says to wind up his rivals. Just a bit of psycology.

He seems like quite a nice, charming young man to me though.
