2007 Formula One Chinese Grand Prix

[Street_Dreamer]

McLaren cocked up big time. It was clear to everybody that Hamilton should have been in several laps before. Even the lap before he lost 8seconds to Alonso, if that's not bloody reason enough to bring him in, then i don't know what is. Hamilton could have wrapped up the title today, but McLaren messed it up.

Looks like Lewis McLuck finally screwed up, big time. I hope everyone that rocks Lewis' nuts realizes that he took pit entry way too fast for having nothing but cords on his right rear, regardless of when he should have come in. (He took the corners before pit entry when battling Raikkonen just fine)

What were the white stripes on his rear wet tyres?

Here ya go Eat this Hamilucky

WOW brazil is gonna be INTENSE. That will be one race I cannot miss. Hamilton needs to come 3rd to win the championship right? but a single mistake could prove costly for all 3 drivers. Now this is exciting..

How can you call his performance this year luck? Those are some of the worlds greatest drivers driving against him, with decades of experience. To go in on your first year leading the championship in the last race is definitely not luck. Plus this is one of the very few mistakes he's made this year. I think somebodys got a hunch

He needs 2nd. 3rd will mean it goes to a countback.

No matter what happens in Brazil, I feel kinda sorry for Hamms. `Cause you know next year he's gonna be under so much friggin' pressure. If next year is just mediocre....everyone's gonna chalk up this years wins to sharing race setups from Alonso and McLaren's stolen Ferrari intell. And I'm to the point now with Alonso that I wish he'd just shut the hell up and go join Montoya. Just whinny little bitches. Masa keeps his mouth shut, and as long as you give Kimi a Martinni or two...he keeps his mouth shut(`course you can't understand him anyway). I sure wish DC could have done a little better over the last three or four years, I always thought he was a pretty cool cat(as a person). I especially liked it when the FIA wanted to make a butt load of rule changes because of Schumachers success and DC stood up and said..."As teams and drivers,It's our job to get faster...not the FIA's job to penalize Ferrari to make us more competetive!!". But then again, they didn't fine them $100 million bucks!!

I dont think there should be any negative feelings if Hamilton wins this years title but cant win next years. Its a widely held belief in all motorsports its always easier to win a title than to defend one. Not to mention, over the past few years McLaren have been incapable of producing a championship contending car for 2 consecutive years.

His rookie year in Formula 1 was in the best car on the grid. (He did not test drive for a year either)

I didn't say he was the worst driver, or the best driver for that matter. I just said he was lucky. Hell, I think Kubica or Vettel are better skillwise. Lewis is just consistent.

Plus this is one of the very few mistakes he's made this year. I think somebodys got a hunch

I know.

It's amazing that pretty much the same thing happened in every formula he has raced in since the age of 12 !!

Liek Arnold Palmer said "the more I practise, the luckier I get"

Hamilton has been very lucky in the sence that he hasnt found himself in the wrong situation under the saftey car, or not getting involved in race incidents, he is also very fortunate to be driving for mclaren at a season when they are on top form. He is also lucky to be Alonso' s team mate where he can use all the info of the setup plus the entire team will back him up in almost any situation.
On second thoughts, i have to say there have been so many situations this year when he has been extremley lucky, especially in germany, ive never seen anyone slide off in the rain , then they lifted the car , then they pushed him back on the circuit.
Offcourse i have to admit that he has been very consistent, and he must be talented too, but the combination of his talent, consistency and LUCK will bring him the title this season.

[Wouter Melissen]

Like Matra already said; Hamilton has done this in every series he has entered. His talent far outnumbers his luck.

[faksta]

Stop this, guys - his luck is a part of his talent!

Im royall pissed about Hamiltons retirement, and im a Ferrari fan...
