Brundle made that all fairly clear in the commentary

And Mark hit him when he was braking for a corner, Lewis couldn't have been any faster because Fernando was on the piece of tarmac in front of him. This isn't just another load of British fan defending British driver, it was fairly obvious that Webber was going too fast because he thought he might be able to follow LH through.

OK but how can lewis say that he did not need the tyres from the last stop ?
just because jensen made it to the end on the tyre dose not mean that lewis would have

If you would have bothered to read a bit before starting the bashing fest you would know what Brawn already said, that the car was damaged more than just the front wing they changed.

Now, go ahead and troll some more.

He has done karting to fill his time

Schumi is one of my favourite drivers. I have called him Schumi and not Schuey because that is how he likes his name to be shortened/nickname.

By his standards he drove as if he should've stayed retired but I will give him the benefit of the doubt in future.

I just watched a replay of the accident again and I noticed Alonso badly locked up a brake on that corner. Hamilton was right up beside Alonso and in a great position to finally pass him on the outside and instead slammed on his brakes (as he had to as Alonso didn't have control of his car). Unfortunately, Webber was trying to follow Hamilton through past Alonso and had nowhere to go, taking out Hamilton in the process.

For me, donkey of the race goes to whoever it was in the Red Bull garage who decided to leave Vettel and Webber out on inters while every one else changed to drys. They were a clear 1st and 2nd before that, but after it they were in a lot more trouble.

Hamilton pulled off some great overtaking moves today but then started whining in the closing stages which really peeved me off. Sore loser. In contrast, Alonso was struggling with Massa ahead and just on with it :up:

Well, it's the German way of shortening it — the surname would never be shortened to 'Schuey' in German. A small but important difference.

I was just reading some stats from the race, MS finished 1:09.391 behind Button. Though Schumi spent almost a whole extra minute just on pit road compared to Button (1:26.773 to buttons 27.295) suggesting his race form wasn't all that bad considering the traffic he had to deal with... :p :

I'm not even sure Webber drove well enough to be considered the donkey of the race. What an idiot, several times!

Donkey of the race? Button!

I don't care how well it worked out, he went to slicks too soon.

Well, just about everyone here has voted Mark "Donkey" of the race.

Let's hope he kicks ass in the next race. :eek:

Button ruined Alonso's race by being in his blind spot?! Alonso made a mistake. Yes a racing incident, but totally the Spaniard's fault.
