Felt I just had to post this leaked Mclaren pitwall commentary from Suzuka.
MW= Martin Whitmarsh LE= lewis’ engineer JE=Jenson’s engineer L=Lewis
L: Something’s wrong. I’m losing time to Vettel and Jenson’s catching me. The car isn’t handling
LE: Understood Lewis.
LE: (To Whitmarsh) Lewis is falling back, he might have a problem. Jenson has halved the gap to him.
MW: Jenson is a bloody good driver! Bloody good!
LE: Yes but the cars not handling, there’s something wrong
MW: It’s just Lewis, he cant manage the tyres. He could learn something from Jenson. Jenson’s a bloody good driver.
LE: Jenson is right behind lewis now.
MW: What! (grabs microphone off lewis’ engineer) Listen. Jenson is faster than you. Do you understand. Jenson is faster than you.
L: I know. Im about to let him past. Ive got a puncture.
MW: Stop whining.
MW: (into Jenson’s microphone) Well done my boy. You’re a bloody good driver. You’ve done some of the best drives in the history of F1!
LE: He’s got a puncture, can we bring him in
MW: Not yet. Jenson might need to pit. The RB’s are heavy on tyres if Vettel comes in we have to cover him.
JE: Its ok Jenson wont need to pit for a few more laps.
MW: Ok you’d better bring lewis in. He’s been nothing but trouble this year. He should learn from Jenson. All we need now is another clash with Massa.
A few laps later
LE: Er, martin
Martin drags his eyes away from jenson’s screen to lewis’
MW: Oh for fuck’s sake!!
