Lewis Hamilton Silences Critics

[Hampus Andersson]

I just never stop believing in McLaren....

And you shouldn´t. If there´s any team that can turn a bad car around it´s Mclaren.
I just don´t see them doing it in 1 week.

Rome wasn't built in a day either...

A week is a tall ask indeed, for any team. Look at Williams after Australia?!

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Rome wasn't built in a day either...

And Rome wasn´t built in 10 months either so let´s hope Mclaren solves it before the season ends.

I think they will give it to the summer break. If the car still is bad they will stop the development.

If there is any team that can kick their Opportunities away it was also Mclaren

Interesting article about the Mclaren.

If we believe that then the smoother the track the better the car will run because they can run it lower and make the aero work although it will not solve all problems.

And some comments about maybe running last years car not for the next event but the two after.

I just don´t see them doing it in 1 week.

But they could do it in 18 more races and overtake Lewis and Mercedes in the championship. That's the whole point here. And they could also build a better car for 2014 as well.
It's just plain rubbish (at least to me) to call that decision he made either right or wrong after just one race.

Hampus on a roll..

i'll bet that Nico will give Lewis a real challenge... If there's something to learn, he'll be on it in a heartbeat. Lewis can't hide anything, they used to kart together so i'm pretty sure they both know each other that well to pick out any small details.

Rosberg is very underrated, you just don´t walk all over Schumacher like he did regardless if Schumi is out of his prime.
Quite impressive to see that he did that for three years straight although fortune wasn´t in Schumi´s favor i guess.

I think Quali Hamilton has got Rosberg covered.
But actual points collection will be a battle i think.

Rosberg is underrated. However, I believe Hamilton will keep him at bay. Lewis is out to prove people wrong... It's going to be a great season

 

[Hampus Andersson]

They definitely are the strongest driver pair by far.

 

[Daniel Ciglar]

I actually believe that they'll be closer to each other in quali than race. Rosberg is a decent qualifier, but his consistancy in races is average and he's not the easiest on tires either (like HAM).

Remember 2011 when Schumi had 3 more DNF's and finished just a couple of points behind Rosberg? The race-duel in 2012 was 10-10 at the end, with Schumi being haunted by bad luck in the first half of the season, not finishing 7 races in total compared to Rosbergs 3 DNF's.

I just want Lewis to go out there and prove everyone wrong
His smile must be beaming after seeing the McLarens form so far

by far?!

Alonso and Massa might have something to say about that

Nice joke I had no idea you had humor actually

Massa is considered a top driver maybe 10-20% of his racing career.
For the most part he spends rainy days doing 360´s, looses the car all by himself, fighting caterhams, breaking suspensions....twice, etc.

2008 was a great year but apart from that we have only had minor glimpses of actual good driving.

He ended last year well and has started this year well though so let´s see how long that holds up.

edit: 2007 was good too actually.

Somehow I don't think he will......

If today is anything to go by, he probably won't.

 

[Daniel Ciglar]

Quite a shame that Mercedes do not look like serious competitors for this race, at least in qualifying.

Let's hope their tyre-deg issues are solved, but judging one of HAM's teamradios, they're stills struggling with it.

 

[Hampus Andersson]

Well everyone´s tires is falling off but they definitely do not start falling off after 5 laps like previous years.
When he said that they had done quite a lot of laps on them.
Seems it was mostly Hamilton that was affected but the next session i did not hear anything from them.
