^ Hamilton had a quality race agreed. Unfortunately its only cause of the safety cars that he ended up on the podium.
I expect Mclaren to struggle in the next race, which should be less eventful.

Hamilton lied to the stewards about the team telling him to allow Trulli past under the safety car. He could have taken the gift of 4th place courtesy of Kubica and Vettel going out, but he got greedy and wanted one more.

Instead he gets DFL lol

Originally posted by pmoisse I also think it's dumb that kers doesn't regenerate any time you apply the brakes or whatever your mechanism for charging it is. Why only so much juice per lap? that's taking your cutting edge tech and putting a lid on it. Why not reward teams that make the most efficient system for charging and discharging by allowing them a bottomless pit of bonus power? If they just wanted a fixed time of extra power per lap, it would have been cheaper and easier to have the rev limit raised as your push to pass since everyone seems to be using it only on the straights at the top of 5th 6th or 7th gear.

If they were allowed to use the KERS system the entire lap, then they would effictively just have 80bhp more then entire time. You can harness so much energy during breaking, that they would have no problem keeping that system topped up. I think it is a valid compromise.

Now the soft tyre rule is just idiotic and dangerous. FIA, and Bernie need to get their head's checked.

Wouldn't that be more incentive to develpo a good system though? Why limit your tech? Why only go halfway with it?

hell, even if you only put a 10 second discharge time on it, at least aloow it to regenerate back to full at the next braking zone.

And yes, the tyre rule is all kinds of stupid. It's not racing. It's forced strategy.

It wasn't until the late 80's that regular tire changes became really regular, why can't they run a full race on two sets of tires now?

LOL He gets zero sympathy from me. He made the choice whether to tell the bullshit story like the team manager asked him to, or whether to man-up and be a professional about it.

I think it had to do with the crazy resources they threw at cars in the 90s, with the take no prisoners strategies. Going back to the 12 lap quali, where they would go through 3-4 sets of tires for quali alone! They used to be able to run 8 sets, 32 tires, for a weekend, regardless of which ones the tire maker wanted them to use. I think they don't want to go back to those 'low' grip levels.

I am only now catching up on the 80's races. I have about 60% of the races from the 80's . So I cannot fully comment on how they used to race.
