so I hardly think his thoughts on that matter were far off.

"You have to get out and get in a banker, like everyone else did. With racing experience you'd assume that most people would have that, but I guess other things were going on and we didn't have that. It's my worst Q3 for a long time."

how you believe your own version of things then when presented with the compelling truth you somehow manage to take the words from the direct source as somehow a hindsight thing, whilst still clinging on to your version of how the events played out in their minds,
wow LOL
The quotes in the article are from after qualification was over, thus hindsight.Quote:

You also left out these quotes from the article:
"Engineers advise that we should do one [run] at the end of Q3 and I didn't contest it. You always have to take a balanced view with the engineers."
"I definitely didn't take into account - and I know they didn't either that in Monaco you can't take risks in leaving it [your lap] right to the end."
Do you really think with unlimited race tires they would have taken that gamble?
As far as I know, they can, but only if that driver has driven in one of the sessions (i.e. FP1). Am I right? I'm not really sure.Quote:

A quick update on Perez:
SPEED's Will Buxton says they're trying to get him released in time to come and watch the race! Top man.Quote:

Awful start by Schumacher.
Hamilton tried to put him in the wall at the start, and then he complains about contact?
