*SPOILER* PF1 Winners and Losers - Sepang

Oh, Alonso can't pass now? LOL, keep 'em coming!

I particularly enjoyed this part:

Losers
Lewis Hamilton, Mclaren, 8th
He was going to be 2nd and then...he was 8th. Lewis Hamilton's intended-to-be final set of tyres were either remoulds or he was nursing a tactically undisclosed problem. Either way, the ill-mannered sulky kid who turned out to answer reporters' questions endeared himself to no-one. With someone as skilled as Simon Fuller pulling the management strings now he must be told that he cannot behave like that. Nobody likes a bad loser and nobody loses worse than Lewis Hamilton. For such an impressive driver it is sad that he cannot reconcile when the fates are against him.

Very true, LH's attitude is piss poor and I've been saying that for years now.

 

I don't disagree but regardless their driver lineup is really strong. You can tell that LH wants that #1 status though.

 

Winner, Webbers passing. About time!

Loser, Race Stewards. Alonso -20sec. No change in position

 

I agree that both penalties were stupid.

 

LH or JB?

LH is clearly their #1 driver right now and I can't see that changing unless Lewis has a realt meltdown. He is their pride and joy.

 

Jenson is easy on tires and had no particular problems.
Lewis is hard on tires and is having problem with tires.

This also happened early last season, and will continue until Lewis gets his head together and learns to setup the car and drive it so that it both fast and easy on tires.

 

JB kept on tweaking his front wing and added more angle during each pitstop, and as a result, towards the end of the race, the car was pretty perfect, compared to Lewis who was struggling with his tyre wear.

 

A don't think that the majority of tire wear can be put down to the wing. Jensen's style is easier on them.
Sometimes, as happened this weekend, the race comes to him. Sometimes not.
