From the race, I can assume Mclaren already lost their pace to Ferrari. Since Hamilton on 3 pits, he should be on pole during qualification, but only third. If Hamilton on 2 pits, it will be another 1-2 finish for Ferrari.

If this is true, than we should see more teams on 3 pits.

Yeahhhh.....but still he got only 12th place afteralll

Aiya, why Kimi didn't win de?
hahaahha

lol dont quite und tat? stop 3times will cause tyre failuer? not logic

Kimi's wing probably damaged a little only...but if it really did...why didn't Ferrari change the front wing?

Happened last year, Hamilton tires puncture, so that the reason why Bridgestone advice them for 3 pits strategy.

change front wing need longer time, so they decided not change.

When you only suffered minor damage and you decided to pit in for long time, with that already bring you down to dunno what position. Do you think it's worth doing that?

he could've changed the wing during a routine pit-stop. Shouldn't lose that much time. Then for the next 40 laps or so he can push nicely.

Well every second counts, you know that right? A typical front-wing change takes about 10 seconds or so? And a normal refuelling stop just about 8 sec max. 2 sec difference is a lot...

bravo Massa,three time on the row
but Heikki drive good today,his tyre really ruin his day

DC finish the race without collision

If that damage really cost him time, it would have being changed.

yes you save a few seconds for not changing, but losing how much time on laps?

the incident took place on the very 1st lap and it was not changed, show us that the damage wasn't giving any significant influence to the performance thus stop saying that's why he is behind Ham. Ham was faster and that was the fact, no matter how much u hate Hamilton or McLaren.

Sometimes i feel this thead should hv being named to Ferrari thread instead, oh no, should be anti McLaren.

Nice race from both BMW's...
both Score points...
Kubica should do better though....BMW's car lack in power...

pretty good race, with plenty of overtaking, finally.

heikki's tyre didnt ruined his day, you can say kimi ruined his day, or they both ruined their day for running too close to each other. anyway that's racing !

i think the damage on kimi's car is very minimal, might be those little flaps at the side of the front wing. engineers know the aerodynamic loads on the car, so they know whether it should be changed or not. and they know their maths. i doubt he would be able to post the fastest lap if the damage is significant.

bearbear, this is common everywhere, live with it. Couldnt accept the fact that hamilton, a rookie, is really this good i guess, just like alonso last season.

could be 1 side getting more pressure than the other

it is just the mclaren car setup is more harsh on the tyre compared to the other teams

by utilising 4 sets compared to 3 set
this would reduce the posibility of tyre failure

I'm enjoy this race, many overtaking action

Ferrari's 4th successive victory
Without that new nose...need to work a liiitle hard

Bulls**t!
What a load of crap!

If not about winning...then stay at home lorrr...don't race

If only Hekki did not have a puncture...Heikki would have finish 2nd.

I think is Hamilton driving technique instead of Mclaren car setuo.
Hamilton always push the car to limit, he always braking at last minutes, this will cause engine and tires problems.

funny...I remember hearing from the commentators last year that Hamilton was the "smoothest" driver around
I think it was from ESPN/StarSports commentators...
