Mature driving by Lewis off the start there! Allowed Raikkonen and Alonso to overtake him off the start and then tried to get ahead of Alonso far too early. Looks like my three English sporting losses this week are still on!
Wonderful ITV coverage there and just why the coverage should never have been given to them. Deciding Grand Prix of the year and Hamilton has already messed up the start, we go to the adverts and come back to Hamilton 40 seconds behind the leader after engine problems, or so they say - but we missed it all, for all we know a large hand came down and picked him of the track for 40 seconds.
Theo Spark had a worryingly prescient posting well before the race started "Will Lewis Hamilton be F1 World Champion? I fear not. McClaren need Alonso's sponsors and their money. (there is the small matter of a large fine to be paid) Whether Lewis is 'allowed' to win the championship in this situation is open to doubt. After the tyre fiasco in China do not be surprised if there is another 'glitch'. I hope I am wrong. Come on Lewis you can do it."
A 'glitch' like a malfunctioning gearbox?
Would it be very cynical for me to say that it is Formula One's interests for this race to be full of excitement? There are a lot of people watching, me included, who wouldn't normally watch a whole race and if this race is exciting then maybe we'll watch more races next year.
Hamilton overtaking Barichello was rather exciting... Good manoeuvre
Watching Formula One with adverts is just ridiculous, it is a continuous sport. The money men made a f***ing stupid decision to give the coverage to ITV and not the BBC or Sky (with no adverts)
Looks like Bernie Ecclestone saying he thought Alonso should win was more of an instruction than a wish, QPR supporters think on...
Not really going to happen is it? What a great Sporting week; at least Leeds United won to go 9th, even with a 15 point deduction.
