Mc Laren beware... The Iceman cometh!!

The last two races had two of the most special moments in them. First in Japan we had the moment which every Ferrari fan craves for, Alonso crashing out of the race! :) Then came the Chinese Grand Prix where everybody was waiting for Hamilton to seal his championship, but instead we saw the rare mistake by Hamilton and McLaren which saw him sliding out of the race at the most inappropriate of places. This was the second moment i was talking about.

Well i have nothing against Hamilton, and i half heartedly agree that he might deserve (little bit) to win the championship, but one thing that everybody (including hamilton fans) will agree to is that if theres one other guy who deserves it and perhaps more than hamilton, its Kimi Raikkonen-The IceMan.

Kimi is one of the best drivers in Formula 1, he has been with the two most competitive teams in the sport in last two years and unfortunately let down by both of them. Formula 1 is about so much more than just driver skill and thats where Kimi has been unlucky. Last year McLaren were not able to provide a competitive car to him while this year he has had retirements due to Car trouble (Ferrari unreliability). Thats something Lewis has not had to face at McLaren. Just imagine how the situation would have been if Ferrari had done there work well.

Anyways Kimi is a great driver and i'm sure he'll get the championship soon.

So heres my prediction (deepest wish) for Interlagos, Alonso crashes into Hamilton at the first corner or some other part of race and Kimi and Felipe take P1 and P2 ( Even P2 is enough to give Kimi the title) and we will then have a fitting end to one of the most memorable season of Formula 1.

FIA Sucks!! Hamilton Cleared with no penalty!!!

Have a look at a video from Japanese Grand Prix. To download click here.

Steve Slater was busy praising hamilton for the way he was slowing everybody down in the last sector of the lap at Japanese Grand Prix during safety car period, but now due to a well shot video from a spectator it can be clearly seen that Hamiltons erratic driving was a reason for the Webber-Vettle crash. In the video hamilton can be seen going wide of the racing line and very slow almost as if he's retiring from the race, prompting webber to brake hard as he wouldn't want to cross during safety car period, in this vettle was caught unaware and crashed into the back of Webber. From what i can see, two people are responsible for the crash, hamilton and webber but unfortunately the penalty was imposed on vettle instead for not seeing webber breaking hard in the spray that he was getting from him and crashing, leading to outster of both of them. Stewards are investigating the hamilton role now, i hope he's given something like vettle, but this time the punishment will be well deserved.(Hamilton cleared without any penalty, lifes so unfair!!)

Hamilton has said that he radioed his team to get the message to Red Bull to get Webber back off but still the way Hamilton was slowing down and accelerating according to his whims was not in right spirit as for people in the middle it was really difficult to see such sudden changes in speed in such treacherous conditions.



Hamilton said after the race,

When we were behind the second safety car, I was constantly on the radio to my engineers to tell the Red Bull team to get Mark [Webber] to make a little more of a gap because I couldn’t go any faster because the pace car was in front of me, so I was trying to keep the distance with him and then I’d move over because I couldn’t see Mark and then he’d just appear alongside me, so he kept out-braking himself. I felt something was going to happen, and I guess my instincts told me right.

Heres what Webber had to say about Hamilton's driving style,

It definitely contributed to Sebastian hitting me up the back because he [Hamilton] wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing, clearly.

Whatever these two might say the only one punished was Vettle, the one for whom the crash was most tragic as he lost the opportunity of Podium. Anyways, i hope he overtakes atleast one of the other two people in rest two Grand Prixes.
