lol, i disagree you put button in a mclaren and he'l be matching hammy times :thumb:

 

Hamilton is a safe bet this weekend. Although the odds weren't worth a bet i decided to go with massa at 5 to 1. £20 to win. Longs the ferrari is competetive i feel he's the next in line to grab sundays podium title. raik seems to be crap without the drivers aids - think he's proof of what an average driver can do in a great car and stratedgy.

Just heard lewis has been docked 5 places so he will start in 9th spot in the grand prix ,that may be too tall a mountain to climb for him

 

Heidfeld's McLaren complaint

BMW Sauber driver reckons he could have been third on grid

 

McLaren-Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen have both been summoned to appear before Malaysian Grand Prix race stewards after Nick Heidfeld and Fernando Alonso complained they were held up during qualifying.

 

 

 

The problems stemmed from the last 30 seconds of the final qualifying session when the majority of the ten drivers taking part had completed their final flying lap.

 

 

As such, they were coasting back to the pits in an effort to save fuel for the opening stint of Sunday's race.

 

 

However, not everyone had completed their final flying laps, with Heidfeld closing up on the dangerously slow traffic he identified to be the McLaren pair.

 

 

And, rather than Hamilton and Kovalainen move off the racing line, the German complained that he was forced to move over to avoid an accident.

Looking like a superb bit of foresight there! :cheers:

 

The McLaren's were stupid to be on the racing line when there was traffic around still at top speed.

 

But on the other hand there is no rule to say you need to do a minimum speed. Personally I think there should be.

Cant wait for the race, i really wanna see some other teams winning some points,it'd be good if the toyotas become competitive...they do have the biggest budget afterall.

 

5 place knock back for Lewis? is heiki getting the same treatment?

 

i reckon they'll still get in the top5 by the end of the race...unless Lewis makes some schoolboy errors again,i have a bad feeling he might
