Hamilton, great start.. wanted him to do well, but, the worst place ever to get a puncture on any circuit is at the beginning of a lap… the furthest point possible from the pits.. and we all know reliants aint that fast !
Hamilton got a bollocking on air.. (if anybody noticed).. he suggested he leave the race and thus be entitled to a new gear box for the next race.. without penalty… he was told firmly to leave the strategy to the team.
Rubens… he did have a point tho' he was 17 seconds ahead at his first pit stop… only to have it wasted by the team / refuelling rig.. dont the team test those devices ?
But all in all… nobody was going to stop the Aussie.. and it is about time he had his share of the laurels..
