Perhaps if Hamilton started the race on less fuel, we could start discussing possible team orders, but under the circumstances that he started in, he had no chance. Perhaps McLaren knowing that they have great starts, they decided to fill up Hamilton in hopes, that his skill and starting speed of McLaren would put him ahead of the Ferraris and then hold them there. That is not team orders, just genious race strategy. Perhaps if Massa was not such a fool, he would have passed Hamilton and made for a more interesting race. Speaking of Massa, he hsould be #2, he doesn't deserve to have #1 status.
There is no over 100% in mechanics.Quote:

Back to Mercedes, they never looked like having the best engines since 1999/2000, their power plants were either fast and unreliable or slow and reliable.
That's the past. Now they have what seems to be a fast and reliable car, the 2xWDC, and the finest rookie to enter F1 for many, many years. That makes for a tough combination to beat :cool:Quote:

Sure :angel: He was going as fast as he should... and that,s racing ... ;)
I don't think you can give Alonso much credit for making the McLaren car what it is at this point. As people pointed out above, the car was basically done before Alonso ever stepped foot in there. McLaren has produced a top car again and it didn't have anything to do with who the drivers were going to be.
To me, the question isn't whether Alonso is "for real." The real question is how did he get so lucky. He was at Renault at their peak and then he switches to McLaren who had been down a little just as they produce a top car and Renault falls back.
And you don't see that among many different factors the common one is Alonso?
I'm not saying he designed the car, but come on!
Going back to "hear say" and things that were written a while ago,
didn't FA get to drive the McCar for the first time and say "No wonder Kimi couldn't beat me driving this . . ."
If he did actually say this, when in the time line of the new car development did he say it?
tough question for sure because what the heck do we know . . .
any takers?????
:s mokin:
race aficionado, I heard that comment in connection with Alonso after driving last years Macca.
