Paper trail, paper tiger, pretty much the same thing. No doubt Lewis got thrown into the deep end and while he did fine when he had the best set of water wings he now seems to be having trouble staying above water. (tortured metaphors our speciality) The question is how he recovers from adversity. One test of a true champion.
He will IMO, he wanted to save the car last race..he knows its improved and its good qualifying ok! Last Race he was leading 1st corner at the start, now if he doesn't do his red mist trick next race..IMO he will be on the podium no inside info just my instinct.. There you are I have set myself up for crow eating now... pecking my head..
Shall we now refer to you as Pec**r Head? I too think he has the talent, but I like a bit of the red mist in my drivers.
Ok ... Er what leader/standings board you looking at Jim..? I just had a quick look and low and behold.. I'm sure Heikki is still his team mate...mate!!... 11 Lewis Hamilton GB McLaren-Mercedes 9 12 Nick Heidfeld Ger BMW Sauber 6 13 Heikki Kovalainen Fin McLaren-Mercedes 5

Thought this is quite funny: from ITV Former F1 racer Ralf Schumacher reckons that Red Bull allowing Mark Webber to win the German Grand Prix was a mistake and that his fellow countryman Sebastian Vettel should have been given the victory as he is a better bet for the title. You can say what you like about the Germans, but at least they stick together. Ralf said in an interview with Bild: There are no team orders at Red Bull and that is actually an error. Sebastian is the stronger driver and he should be collecting every point he can. Ralf Schumacher offering advice on how to win an F1 world championship? Thatll make everybody sit up and listen...
Well, that comment is too funny. Of the caliber of Kimi's "taking a dump". I love it when people refuse to dance around the golden calf.
