I like how you are thanking me for my brilliance

Lewis must have nerves of steel..not to have put in a banker lap in Q3......
He hadn't got enough new inters to do more than one hot lap..
Fantastic effort from both NR & LH...
Lewis probably wanted this pole so much...after last year, being robbed by McLaren's fueling blunder...It was mentioned several times ...but made to sound like he had only got pole by being light on fuel...but he would still have got it..even with 5L more than he had.....

Why was he chasing it? Is it too fast for him?

To be honest, when I saw that, I did wonder - WTF??? - I mean, is the front row not good enough?

Lewis did have a somewhat disappointed look on his face today, because he felt that he could have taken pole position, but realized as he said that, Nico was just a little bit faster. I'm glad that Hamilton has that strong feeling of self disappointment, and as you guys and gals across the big pond say.....good on him.

When a driver (who has the capability to be fastest) isn't fastest and is satisfied with that methinks its time to fuck off and find a new career.

Ahh, Lewis can have these strange moments. Remember Korea 2011 where ge got pole, face says it all:

 

[racecub]

Might have a better race set up. Who knows.

 

[F1ang-o]

Non of them look particularly happy...

Or not.....

Bit of an oops!

 

[FB]

Did Lewis have Roscoe sitting on the monkey seat at the back?

 

[racecub]

More than an oops Jen it was an absolute disaster!

 

[Brogan]

Hamilton was (un)comfortably beaten by Rosberg all weekend.
It could be a set up issue or it could be something else.

The next few races may (or may not) shed some light on the matter.

 

[Jen]

I don't like to be too obvious racecub.

 

[no-FIAt-please]

I don't think Hamilton should worry yet. Sakhir and Catalunya have been some of his weakest tracks historically. Monaco should give a better indication, it also looks like Mercedes' only chance a for victory this season perhaps.

 

[Mephistopheles]

Lewis drove rubbish today Rosberg slaughtered him...

This is tyre-some...lets go racing FFS!
