I really hate the bias for Hamilton from Martin & James. Ted Kravitz pretty much spends the whole race in the McLaren Garage, with all of Lewis' celebrity friends like Ramsay, and I hate it when they show old man Hamilton... he always looks so smug. I won't deny it was a great drive from a good driver, I just thought it was a shame that he didn't make any mistakes like he has so unprofessionally done in the past.

Yet another win for Stoner!
That's 3 in a row. Pity he had such a horrible stretch earlier in the season because he's been in awesome form lately and is still 20 points away from the championship leader...which is Rossi (he came 2nd). Pedrosa crashed out and Stoner is now only 4 points behind him.
Vermeulen finished 3rd and Ant West finished in 10th.

It was a pretty uneventful race anyway, apart from Piquet/Renault's great/lucky strategy, Glock's big arsed crash and the usual spooging over everything Hamilton does from the commentary team.
The worst moment was when Hamilton came out onto the track from his first pit stop, and re joined the race just in front of Trulli. The coverage goes to a more instersting battle, than comes back 30 seconds or so later, where we now see that Trulli is in front of Hamilton.
To the commentators, this was simply unbelievable, and could in no way have been because Hamilton had a heavier car and colder tyres therefore making it quite possible for Trulli to simply pass him - apparently it must've been because Hamilton ran wide and let Trulli through.
They were still talking about it 10 minutes later.

Ohhh my god I reckon! It was such an insignificant moment and they kept dwelling on it.
It was a shit race though. Ferrari were uncompetitive and Webber's engine packed it in (from what I could understand with my constant flicking between that, the Tour and the golf). From that point on I didn't want to see Hamilton win and another smug speech.

Yeah i must admit, as much as I enjoyed the stoush between Vale and Stoner, part of me was saying 'man, he's not giving an inch!'. As much as I love a good fight, I still have great respect for good sportsmanship too, and Vale has never been a good sportsman on the track.Twit wrote:So the results for Laguna...hmmm, maybe I'll hide it in case someone wants to watch a replay or something.
If the tables were reversed and Vale was in Stoner's shoes, he would've been whining like a little bitch.

Fucking hell, worst luck for Massa. Drove a brilliant race, only to have his car die with 3 laps to go. Damn. Well atleast Hamilton had some bad luck too.
And it looks like the Red Bulls have lost their pace - they're no longer keeping up with the Toyotas and Renaults. In fact it would seem the Toyotas are matching if not bettering the BMWs for pace.
I do hope Alonso gets a drive with Ferrari next year - he's still the quickest driver on the track, so it would be great to see him with one of the front running teams again.

Haven't been in this thread for a while and I haven't been keeping up with f1 as much this year although I'm still keen.
The Hamilton hate is interesting. I've read he's had difficulty in coming across well sometimes but given his position on the track he hasn't had much time to warm up to media scrutiny and interviews. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone so young to be instantly successful in F1 of all sports. Given how some of the old stalwarts act (Flav) I'm impressed Hamilton is still coherant.

Yea, poor Massa. I was devostated for him. Particularly after that great move on Hamilton into the first corner off the line. It was brilliant because thats the exact kind of bold offensive move that Lewis would pull. So I loved that! Too bad Hamilton essentially got the last laugh. It was insane the amount of fires that were sparked from refuelling in pit lane too.
