He doesn't need to win it, just finish within 3 points of Alonso and 6 points of Raikkonen

I got up a little later than the start, so was watching catch-up on the toppy(awsome bit of kit)...

so at somewhere around 8.30 this morning I shouted NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

FFS..... what the helll were they playing at.... etc.



followed by one or two more expleteives lol..


Yes he conducted himself pretty well, and after initially being short with Louise he was back within 15 mins giving the interview, after thanking the rest of the team.

However there were more than one or two mistakes made during the race imho and no this isn't hindsite talking lol, i was shouting it at the tv screen at the time hehe..

with Raikonen catching him at 1.5 secs a sector(yes a sector) why was he not called in...
when Raikonen was all over the back of him, why the hell did he race him(too risky)
once raikonen was past him why was this not considered a good time to bring him in?
with Alonso catching him at stupid rates...ditto...
Now I'm not into some conspiracy theory, as Ron has invested more than money into Lewis.
and for Lewis, the situation and 'racer' in him , (that has got him this far) clearly will have clouded Lewis' Judgment, but thats why the best (second best) team in the business should have stepped up to the plate and made the call..
The idea that they didnt want to jump too soon with the changeable weather is laughable when your man has just been caught and passed and dropped for like 5 secs a lap... the tyres werent 'just' gone......

I just fear that Interlagos is such an unpredictable place.... that chicane after the straight is just begging for either a first lap mele, or a latter lap lunge ....

Clearly he is a future champion, but to miss out at this stage will definately damage his confidence.... and he sure has plenty to damage hehe..

It'd be nice to see a british champion reign supreme
Great drive from Button too, I soo wish he could get a Drive in a top car....
