The fuel thing is his teams fault not Hamilton's. His pit crew are at fault for all those terrible pit stops this season also.

Dont they have to do the same after the race, have so much fuel to get back to pits and be tested? yet last race 2 cars stopped right after the finish and no penalties......

i thought that with regard to Vettel, but assumed that it was because that was effectively the end of the competition, where as Hamilton had this episode midway thru. Dont know. Im sure we will find out from Eddie and DC closer to the race.

Controversy seems to follow Hamilton around, despite his best efforts to avoid it. Just a shame he has used an extra set of softs.

Still, this should make for another exciting race............

Eddie Jordan just said the decision is a joke and the worst punishment possible should have been him going down to 10th, of anything they should of voided the lap time

Makes me wonder if Hamilton did this at another race would it be a so severe penalty because its well known the spanish hate him?

This type of decision could decide the title this year imo!

 

[Montasura]

Ridiculous decision IMO, made worse by the mixed up grid and difficult overtaking at this track.

But it's done and I'm looking forward to this race. Tough one to pick a winner but I reckon I'll go for Kimi.

 

[chrissivad]

only 1 puncture, thats a good start.

Thought there was going to be a crash with how close everyone was

 

[Montasura]

What is it with McLaren's pit stops this year, just can't get it right.

Indeed I wouldn't be surprised if Hamilton switched to a two stopper if he is on Hard atm

 

[beats1]

Come on Maldonado!!!!

 

[LSUY]

Happy to see Williams win a race. Hopefully this is the turnaround for them, as it's a shame to see how far they've fallen.

Was a brilliant race, full of drama and excitement. Well done Alonso for finishing second and especially well done to Maldenado for his maiden F1 win in only his 24th GP. Nice to see Jonny Herbert and Damon Hill in the pit ground watching this amazing feat.

Oh dear at Schumi and Senna, whoopsy!

I still can't decide whose fault it was. No doubt Schumi was so much faster than Senna, but you would think he should know better.

With the return of former champions, Kimi has completely outshone Schumi.

But yeah, brilliant race, brilliant season so far, and its just so unpredictable for each race to come.....what would be the odds on 6 different winners in the first 6 races after Monaco next??

 

[MrsKeane]

In all honesty, neither can I, as my dad said, Schumi should've known better as Senna had a blind spot. What about Kuboyashi (spelling) on his over taking manouvers, I am starting to like him although a bit wreckless sometimes, he does like to take his chances. We had 2 incidents in the pits as well today, The rear wheel gun and what happened to the mechanic? I had on drivers view at the time so didn't have a good view!

I can't wait until Monaco, tight street circuit which will get all the cars up with the sheer grunt of the mercedes engine. p.s. WHAT was going on with the red bull's front end plates? I thought I did see on one the upper wing on the right hand side (looking onto the wing) was a bit loose but other than that!

 

[spursontheloose]

So happy for Williams. Great win for them today and a great drive by Mr Pastor Maldonado.

The tyres are going to give us another great season

 

[spursontheloose]

I blame Schumi for that coming together. I think he just got his braking distance all wrong.

 

[Hoddle_Ledge]

Fire in the Williams garage.

Hero of the day

Thats why I love KK and lewis, their crazy overtaking manoeuvres remind of the old days like watching senna make a impossible pass on someone, without them I wouldn't be so keen on F1 as it seems too strategical imo, your average joe watches F1 for the crazy manoeuvres not to see how well a person can look after their tyres

 

[spursontheloose]

Should be another interesting race this weekend at the Monaco GP.

Weather is set for showers on sat and sun so will defo spice things up even more if the weather report is accurate

 

[Yid-ol]

Hope so! a few showers will result in a few crashes and there it means safty car , so lets hope if that happens they are able to sort it and get the safty car out and in quickly!

 

[haxman]

Wow, Schumacher rolling back the years!!!!! Great end to qualifying, but shame he got that penalty.
