Kimi won c'ship becasue of hamiltons mistake in last 2 race. rewind and check. but both are still great! hahahaha

I wont agree with you this regard as last year in the races luck favoured Hamilton 2 times he got punchered in a race and also there as wet race again where in he came 1st because of safety car at that time. If you take out those points and if similar luck favoured last year kimi would have won the championship easily......:thumbsup:.

This guy hamilton has got some luck in the races but i do admire his driving skills too

ya i recall some races (but not the exact dates/names) where even schumi would spin around multiple times in a single race 🙂and i agree it was hamilton's fault (inexperience) that lost him the championship last year.. even tho kimi was cool n consistent. i remember that rain-soaked race where lewis (and many others) spun off the track... and also near the end of the race he crashed during entering the pits and ended it for him! that was the point when he lost the championship in my opinion! it would have been awesome for a rookie to come and win F1 in his first year 😀

this win for hamilton is big boost for the future races... i hope he wins drivers championship and also constructors for mclaren :thumbsup:

I hope your dream come true...:ashamed: but its going to be difficult with the ferrari's..🙂 if that happens hats off to hamilton:thumbsup:

Alonso had little to lose at Monaco
Fernando Alonso has accepted the blame for his crash with BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld in the famous Loews hairpin during Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

Heidfeld, whose car was damaged after the collision, turned into the Spaniard's Renault as Alonso tried to pass the German.

"I was trying really hard to recover my options to be on the podium," Alonso explained to the Spanish newspaper El Pais.

"He was losing a lot of time in the slow corners with the tyres he was using.

"I tried once and didn't make it, and then I saw a little opportunity in the next corner, where it is pretty impossible to pass.

"It was a chance in a million, and I didn't make it. It was my fault, my mistake by taking a risky chance.

"But for us it was not so important, unlike for Raikkonen, who is fighting for the title and scored no points," Alonso added.

"I was trying really hard to recover my options to be on the podium"may be he first need to think abt finishing 4 or 5, then think of podium.

I think the renault and others too felt that if they wanted to be in the podium this circuit is their best chance........This was also told by the fellow commentator Steve Slater (my favourite commentator for F1 ---- Here We go ....The five lights eliminates......)

i think he says, illuminates not eliminates!

Thanks for correcting me...........:thumbsup: For me steve slater like Tony grieg and bill lowry in F1 commentry. What a voice he has got. Amish can you tell for how long is steve slater is associated with f1 commentry in star sports?😕

i dont know, but i am hearing voice from very long.

but i am hearing his voice since 2006 - japan GP as from that period only i started to see F1.........

Ferrari test new A1GP car at Fiorano
27/05/08

While the famous Scuderia's race team prepared for the Monaco Grand Prix, Ferrari technicians at the weekend were also busy closer to home.

At the Maranello-based team's own local test circuit at Fiorano in Italy, the new Ferrari-powered A1GP car - which is based on the 2004 Formula One single seater that was driven to the title by Michael Schumacher - was run for the first time.

Ferrari test driver Andrea Bertolini, who in the past has been central to the squad's F1 development duties, was at the controls, and a press document revealed that the "shakedown results (were) very encouraging" for the new car.

"The team will now undertake an intensive test programme at both the Fiorano test track and the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola," the statement added.

nice to see Kimi apologize, but "i said i am sorry", "i feel sorry for him", doesnt look apology coming straight from heart. i was expecting, "i am really really very sorry" something like that.

he didnt put himself in place of Sutil and thought, "what if it was me and how much it had hurt emotionally" and thats the reason apology was not so strong.
exactly what i thought. very unfortunate for sutil. he was doing great.

Hamilton's lucky day at Monte Carlo
Pedro de la Rosa has confirmed reports that his McLaren colleague Lewis Hamilton was lucky to win last Sunday's Monaco Grand Prix.

After the 23-year-old Briton delightedly took the chequered flag in the Principality, it was rumoured that one of his tyres was flat shortly after it returned to parc ferme.

It was suggested that he sustained the slow right-rear puncture late in the race, probably by running over the debris of Nico Rosberg's crash.

"It is true that he finished the race with a slow puncture," de la Rosa, the British team's Spanish test driver, confirmed to the Spanish press at a Madrid motor show this week.
