It was an excellent race. Hamilton raced perfectly but won purely because of poor strategy and planning by the other teams.


I don't think the strategy would have changed the outcome of the winner, as Alonso admitted after in his interview.

Even if Alonso and Vettel had stopped for tyres just before or after Hamilton did, they both admitted he was faster.

The poor strategy by both Ferrari and Red Bull cost them 2nd and 3rd and me some more points here.

Anyhow 7 different winners from 7 races is good entertainment.

IMO the only others capable of making it eight from eight are Grosjean, Kimi or Perez (maybe Michael but his DNFs are becoming a habit). I like the attitudes of both Perez and Grosjean, both beating or a couple points behind their more established team-mates in the championship standings - more so Perez as Kimi is on a comeback but a former world champion non the less.

I however don't think this will happen as the next track would probably favour one of the top drivers in the championship like Alonso, Vettel or Hamilton.

Who knows.

Missed the candian GP. But check and noticed Michael DNF again.

Apart from one race has which I saw has Michael actually finished in any others?

Schumacher (assuming a win in Monaco because of him pole) has lost, I believe, 59 points because of incidents, mechanical failures etc.

That'd be enough to put in right up there, and infact would have been just a point or two above or beow Alonso coming into Canada.

That's how bad his luck has been.

Valencia is next weekend, correct? I'll predict then.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Predictions:

1) Hamilton (has a great car and a load of confidence from winning in Canada)
2) Vettel
3) Rosberg (may not have a great history at this track but is on form at the moment and has a great car to go with it)
DNF Webber



1) Alonso
2) Hamilton
3) Vettel

DNF - Kobayashi
