flameboy Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Holy crap, even with a (possible) lighter fuel load, where the hell did Hamilton find more then a tenth of a second over Raikkonen? Well Raikkonen did have that slight slip on the last corner, but still yeah it was phenomenal, I mean he just motored through, I mean how amazing was it to watch?!

gaggle64 Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 It's certainly going to be an exciting race tommorow with the McLarens and Ferraris mixed up at the front togtether. I'm going to miss most of it though because I'm being dragged along to make up the numbers at some art festival for the week. Boo. EDIT: Never mind, change of plans. Yay!

Noodleman Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I have always hated ITV's coverage but this years is even worse. FFS stop relating everything to Lewis Hamilton, yes hes having an amazing season. But asking Robert Kubica, for example, what he thinks of Hamiltons season is a tad annoying. I cant actualy bring my self to watch the race build up anymore its so cringeworthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has jumped on the Hamilton bandwagon and all the Formula1 loyalists are being forgotten about, every second of every show is relating to Hamilton, where as there used to be features on all the drivers. If you don't support Hamilton your just forgotten about! There are 21 other drivers on track thankyou ITV!! It really is annoying me!! Todays qualifying... stupid light on fuel show boating lap from Hamilton to please the crowds! As for tomorrows race... Kimi to win!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Surely you've gotta admit though: it is a pretty damn good-looking bandwagon. Remarkably well driven too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I have no problems with Hamilton, just ITVs horrendously cringeworthy coverage of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Looks like Kimi has it in the bag! Couldn't be happier Hamilton has been completely off it today. Maybe it's the car, but he's a lot slower than I thought he would be. if the BMW's were faster he'd have got punished more I reckon, especially with Massa stalling.

Gizmo Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Wow. Blatant short fueling of Hamilton for the hypetrain pole position. ITV mentioning him in every sentence. Drip feeding all the rules for the bandwagon jumpers. The coverage was cringeworthy. As great a driver as Hamilton is, I'm glad he didn't win today, and hope he doesn't win the championship this year, because we will never hear the end of it. Kinda like how us Scots don't want England to win the world cup, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 So a second consecutive win for Raikkonen, a ninth consecutive podium for Hamilton and all four front runners within twenty points with eight races to go. It's pretty much a straight race down to the wire. Best championship for years. And please, don't sneer at people for wanting to hear about Lewis Hamilton. The public tends to be most interested in good drivers from their own country. They're just weird like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Glad Hamilton didn't win today, both because of the insane coverage and for the championship. I don't have anything against him but the hype train is insane, even from a non-British perspective. What we really need is Hamilton getting no points once; then the top four could crawl together and make things really exciting. I have a feeling Hamilton has had a fair share of luck in North America, where he took the lead. Yay for Kimi, too. Glad to see him back up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaggle64 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Wow-wee that's pretty major failure if the car was allowed to just take of like that. It's a testament to the safety measures across the formulas that he walked away from it, but there'll be some questions asked about what happened no doubt.

flameboy Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I have to say I agree about ITV and Hamilton, I mean Kubica has been having a great season so far in his right, but everytime they mention him they bring up the fact that he used to be in GP2 with Lewis, or that he will be Hamiltons major rival for years to come... I hate the sympified commentary for the bandwagon jumpers...I DON'T NEED TELLING EVERYTIME SOMEONE CHANGES TIRES THAT THE ARE TWO TYPES SOFT AND HARD AND EVEN MORE SO DON'T NEED TELLING THAT YOU CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE BECAUSE OF THE LINE ON THEM.

gaggle64 Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 So the stage is set for a another brilliant race. This weekend it's the classic Nurburgring with Hamilton and Raikkonen already slugging it out at the top in the Friday Practice. Hamilton set the fastest time overall but Raikkonen's Ferrari seems to be faster in the wet. They pretty much seem to be trading blow for blow. A HEADS UP: Murray Walker himself will be doing this weekends coverage for BBC 5 Live, so if you're not already in the habit of muting the TV in favour of the radio commentary, now might be the time to give it a whirl.

Retro_Link Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 So the unreliability and mistakes from McLaren make a return!! Remind me of a couple of years ago when Kimi's rear wing just flew off for no apparent reason during the German Grand Prix! Pretty bad crash from Hamilton, though I thought it seemed to be a bit exagerated in commentory as there's been crashes like this before, like Jensons head on crash in Monaco out of the tunnel! Anyways, hope Hamilton's ok, which I'm sure he is! Glad Kimi's on pole!! McLaren owe him this race!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
