theduisbergkid Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 So, watching Q3, shaping up nicely. McLaren back on track at last ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Lewis will be happy with that, unlike Jensen who had another bad day. Let's hope they both do well tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they do, been driving taking the family on hoilday today so had to miss quali this time (gutted) hope for a good race tomorrow as Mclaren are usually stronger on the Sunday!

cruiser647 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Best race so far!!! Fan-bloody-tastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4ttm4son Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Sad to see Jensen pull up with problems, just when he was sorting himself out for some points. Good racing from Lewis, nice and clean passes. Good racing from the front three What was wrong with Vettel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stooH Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Fantastic win from Hamilton, that's what we want to see, aggresive driving, good overtaking without being a tit about it. Well done Lewis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 This will be interesting with the Ferrari out of fuel, Webber giving a lift blah blah blah!!! Frosty 'meeting' between the top 3 in that little room where they get the sponsors things to put on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I enjoyed that, I even had a chance to get a 10min snooze between laps 30 and 40 :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I enjoyed the race, it wasn't spectacular but enjoyed the way they used different strategies. Could have gone 3 different ways in the end but Mclaren got the last stop right and it was all done and dusted. Great overtake from LH on Alonso after the pitstop, probably won him the race. Strange that SV looked very average today. Massa and his crew gifted him their place, Massa was so cautious. Will be interesting to see how RedBull go in Hungary on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I really enjoyed that. The Hamilton v Webber overtakes were great, Alonso and Ferrari are clearly back in the mix, and SV has suddenly forgotten how to drive. 2nd half of the season is shaping up nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Scott Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 I thought it was a top race* (and not just being a Mclaren and Hamilton supporter) plenty of over taking going on, and not in the DRS zone, lots of different pit stop strategies and of course Lewis showing that he really is a world champion with a great re-take on Webber and overtake on Alonso! Roll on Sunday! *obviously Vettel has the championship done and in the bag already this year but still good to watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Scott Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Oh, that'll be for the Hungarian GP. It's one I've always been happy to miss. Most races you would normally think were going to be a parade type race this season haven't been (except one!) so you just never know Mook!

garcon magnifique Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Strange name, even for a Scottish lass. I suppose Lewis is back to demigod status now, after one win. This is where we learn whether he can learn his lessons - keep the attacking approach without it always ending in contact. Hungary with DRS is a scary thought - I reckon we'll see at least one collision at turn one after DRS is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stooH Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think the car just isn't as far ahead of the competition as it was, I still think it's the quickest car out there so either he's suffering a loss of confidence or he's not quite the driver everyone thought he was. Reminds me a bit of Button a couple of years back, looked unbeatable until the car didn't have a massive advantage over the rest then started tailing off and clinging onto it until the end.

m4ttm4son Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Could it simply be a case of wanting to win his home Grand Prix too much? Didn't get the pole position quali. lap and fluffed the start. Jenson's been doing that all season. Think we'll see the Vettel of a few weeks ago again this weekend. Pole, win, but not boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I think part of it is just the simple psychology of being so far in front in the WDC title race, but I also agree with m4tt re wanting to win the German GP. I think we've seen enough in Vettel to know that his dominance has not just been about the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
