So that means he's to join the Hamilton bandwagon then? I can see why i prefers Raikkonen!!!


talented, it's not their fault they're so good at what they do.



Yeah join Hamilton's bandwagon! Enjoy some British success for once! And why support a team who they know will dominate, seems boringly predictable to me!

That's called freedom, you can support who ever you want!
And we are the smart ones that support Ferrari!!

The cars are very good but reliabilty is hard. 9 points is hardly a huge gap.

9 points after 4 races, big gap? Your kidding, right?

I can't see Mclaren putting up a big enough fight for the whole season, but you never truely know! Hamilton is one of the top drivers, hence him being in the position he's in........... Button's still my favourite.

I still think after 4 races and 9points down is a big gap for a title contender. I think mclaren are missin alonsos technical input and this will be mclarens downfall this season which might see them battling with the BMWS because they have a very experianced lineup

Well, i'm half and half on the gap thing.

1. It's 9 points, if Raikkonen retires and Hamilton wins he'll sit above him, most likely 2nd (if Massa finished).

2. It's 4 races in, and i don't think Raikkonen is going to bother waiting for Hamilton to catch up, i say if Kimi gets podiums or wins in the next 5-6 races, Hamilton will need to up his game. He's already under pressure, no denying that.

How are McLaren missing Alonso? He's a whining little boy who spits his dummy out when he isn't given preferiel treatment over team mates. He didn't help McLaren at all when he came, why would he help now? BMW don't have an experienced line-up either, not anymore so than McLaren....


You lot need to look back over previous seasons if you think 9 points is a gap! It's nothing this far into the season, so long as McLaren can up the antee and put pressure on Ferrari there's always a huge chance, especially if that Ferrari shows any signs of failures........or even a slight crash, we've all seen what the traction controls doing to the Drivers, it don't even have to be your mistake, just the driver behind you being over eager.

bmw line up is more experianced, mclaren line up only done 40races between them u will find heidfeild has done over 40races by himself. Alonso was giving his setups to hamilton, and hamilton isnt as quick as what he can be and this is because he hasnt got a decent setup like he was getting from alonso.

Alonso done Hamilton's set ups? Where you get that from? A Spanish paper!??

Hamilton sets his own car up, his driving style is totally different to Alonso's............

Hamilton has been involved in F1 for many, many years, even before driving his first season, I don't think experience is the issue with McLaren. My point is they'd be in the same boat whether with or without Alonso as their failure seems to be down to a downforce issue, the car isn't handling right!

Technically it's a full scoring points position to catch up to him...
I'm not saying it's a massive gap, just that McLaren should be taking into account that they are going to end up falling behind unless they get the car perfected.

No, that wasn't a dig at saying Ferrari's car is perfected, i'm just saying that Ferrari aren't going to hang about and keep pushing, and that's what McLaren need to be aware of...a gap, but an uncomfortable one for both.

and what if lewis doesnt finish
9 could become 19

i think 2nd is more of a likelyhood but bmw isnt too far off overtaking mclaren. i think this year will be even better than last because their wont be a break-away 4. bwm and some of the lesser teams all have a chancee to beat mclaren but i think ferrari is looking strongest for winning the double

All these what ifs!

Anything can happen, although Massa is very strong so unless his engine fails I can't see him being beat tomorrow! Thought Hamilton done a good job on the tyres he used. Shall have to see if they've got the race pace tomorrow.

Strong race from Massa. Not too far off Raikkonen now who in my eyes had a fairly mediocre race.
Lewis drove his socks off on the lighter fuel and i was a little worried he may pip Massa until he ran into his unfavoured soft tyres. how unlucky is kovaleinen?! thought he drove well coming from the back too.
excellent win for massa

Impressive. Lets hope this is a sign of things to come from Mclaren!
