What ?? Force India?? to do what ?

 

Force some of India to watch F1 live on site, and then chug down a few complimentary UB beverages ( no I am not talking about bottled water)

 

Wishful thinking... :catfight:

 

However, the name suks .....reminds me of a cartoon I used to watch ....Force Five or something....

Just lost out on the last run up to the finish line. But I believe the strategy was to run Massa light in order to get ahead and control the race from the front allowing Kimi the chance to jump the the McLarens if he did qualify behind them on race fuel. Once Kimi gets past the McLarens, Massa would have conveniently pitted allowing Kimi to take the race lead.

 

All I need now is for Lewis to jump Massa in the run up to turn one and two and we will have a McLaren champ !!!!

@MT:

That could be a good strategy.

But i'm hoping Alonso creates that gap needed between himself and Raikonnen so that when he pits we won't lose his position. But you never know, Ferrari are pretty good at mapping out strategies for their drivers (eg: Raikonnen's one stop strategy back at the Italian GP if i'm correct).

Hamilton apologises to Raikkonen

 

Lewis Hamilton has apologised to title rival Kimi Raikkonen for disturbing his final qualifying lap at Interlagos today but emphasized he did his best to get out of the Finn's way.

 

Hamilton was coming out of the pits following his last tyre change in the closing moments of qualifying, just as Raikkonen was on his final flying lap.

 

The McLaren driver was seen slowing down off the racing line as the Ferrari powered past him, but Raikkonen went wide and lost crucial time in the process, eventually qualifying in third behind Hamilton.

 

Asked about the incident, Raikkonen stated: "For sure it didn't help. I ran wide after I went beside him and lost some time.

 

"I don't know exactly [how much time] we lost - I haven't seen the data - but for sure there could have been a slightly easier way to let me past.

 

But it is what it is now. I would rather be in the front, but third is an OK place to start the race from. We should have a good car and see what we can do tomorrow."

 

Hamilton himself said he was warned by the team of Raikkonen's presence and did the best he could to get out of his way.

 

"I came out of the pitlane, and the team said 'you will be coming close to Kimi, at that speed your mirrors are vibrating and you can't see'.

 

"I apologise if I got in his way, but I didn't think he was that close to me. I stayed where I was and braked. I didn't feel I hindered his lap, and I did get out of the way.

 

"I did the best job I could do," added Hamilton. "And I did apologise to him."

 

Now that's what it call a true sportsmanship :majesty:
