2010 Canadian GP: Qualifying *** Spoilers ***

Oh well football time now..

 

They all look pi$sed off.

 

LOL to me: Webber "you looking at me or what, well bloody well don't"

Vettel: what er what where I'm I, whats in that bloody juice...

Ham: it wasnt' me honest I got told to push the car honest..

 

Disappointed in the Benzes, they're real slow. Sucks for MS that he botched his good lap.

 

Nascrap still on Speed, O great they just said this is good as it gets, now I know why I dont watch Nascrap.

Interesting...

 

$10,000 fine and will keep pole position is the word. I think every team will start "accidentally" leaving less fuel in the tank now.

 

Out right cheating from a team that had to pay largest fine for cheating ever???? I don't believe it.

 

Well done to LH, he deserves and has earned the position. Good to see Ron Dennis back over seeing the Mclaren garage even if it is just for this weekend.
The FIA are always going to have it in for him, there is nothing new there. Though i am glad they have got rid of Max.

 

Somehow I feel tempted to bump an old thread...

 

Agree.

Webber should have pole. Can you imagine how dangerous the next qualifying session will be with cars stopping all over the track ... Plus wasting track time for the support races.
In the end the RedBulls are still faster and if Webber can get a good start I can't see LH being able to run at the same pace until we yet again get into fuel conserving mode.
Will be interesting 

ps: love the fact that Vettel has been beaten by the faster driver again, good job Webber. Keep doing this and the team will surely have to stop favouring Vettel!

 

Is there any credence to the idea that McLaren didn't expect Lewis to get that last (extra) lap in under the wire, and so were caught out?

 

Hami morphs into a Pushme Pullu and takes pole for the McCheater team.

Vettel slower than MW again. Blames having to warm up his tyres for 3 laps which begs the question: why not go out sooner Einstein?

Rosberg beats Schumi again who is waiting for next year when he will be older and his reflexes will improve LOL.

Fred outshines Phil AGAIN. Guess his new contract extension did not make him any faster.

Fox tomorrow which means no post race interviews. Will there be any Fcar drivers there? Hope springd eternal but not betting any money on it.

 

Other than that Mrs Lincoln how'd ya like the play?

 

I don't know if they actually cheated, but it should be a 10 grid position penalty. A $10k fine is no deterrent. They were just smart/evil enough to try this stunt first.

 

Lets not get carried away...again. No rules/regulations were broken. The FIA handed out memos to the teams on the 11th of June 2010 (Spooky). This memo was regarding cars returning to parc ferme within an allotted time. That's just the day before, so had this event happened last week then no action would have been taken. So theoretically, had the car been pushed to the parking area within the allotted time, then no action should have been taken.
No regulations were broken.

Going to be interesting to see how you guys twist this.

 

MS storming out of the car in Q2 spoke volumes about his frustration. Will he stay for the duration of his contract?

While re-signing Massa was the right thing to do, a contract in a driver's pocket never made them any faster, quite the contrary. They should have played the carrot and stick story a bit longer if they wanted to keep him on top performance, but it was pretty obvious that neither Webber nor Kubica would sign for 2011.

 

Yes nobody else wants the drive ... Really shows the true lack of pacethe ferrari has.

Thank you...I was wondering if someone would point that out.

 

A couple of comments before bedtime...

1) The Hamilton hating is just funny at this point. "Outright cheating"... "Webber should be on pole!", etc, etc. Errr, maybe they just didn't realize they were that low, or maybe he snuck another lap in? He earned it fair and square... reprimand + fine is the right result.

2) I sometimes think that Hamilton really must be a disliked driver, based on the people here who have so much blind hatred of the guy. Luckily that was proven wrong today, as all of the grandstands at the hairpin eruped in cheers and applause as Hamilton took poll. He got a standing ovation from the crowd on his cool down lap.

That turned into laughter to see him sitting on the edge of the car and waving as it coasted... we all thought he was just showing off. Then when he got out and started pushing, people were laughing. I have it all on tape - funny stuff.

Not as funny as the medical car coming within INCHES of slamming into the wall... guy was showing off, took the turn too hot, tires squealing... getting closer and closer to the wall... the crowd gasps collectively... he misses it by inches. Everyone starts laughing.

Great atmosphere at the track.

Hamilton and Schumacher from what I saw are the most well liked drivers. They both got lots of applause.

Tomorrow should be interesting.

 

If he earned it fair and square then why is he being fined and reprimanded ? Come to think of it, why is it always Mccheater and Hamboi that are always getting fined and reprimanded ? Mccheater/Hamboi think that the rules don't apply to them, they always push and bend the rules, always needing rules "clarifications" . You're supposed to return to the pits with at least 1 liter of petrol, otherwise we'll see cars stopping all over the track ! It's quite obvious that Cheater/Ham gained a weight advantage, even a slight advantage was all he needed. He should have been given a 5 place penalty.

Seeing how you're the big betting man, how much you want to bet that this will result in another rules clarification and probably an adjustment in the "language" of the rule ? I'm growing tired of this team getting slapped on the wrist for breaking whatever rule they wish to bend to suit their needs.

Hopefully, Webbo will take out Mccheater/Hamboi in turn 1 with Webbo managing to retain P1 and Cheater/Hamboi stuffed into a wall...
