Why didn't they fuel him to the end after his 2nd stop?

His team cost him the title in my opinion. Poor decision to keep him out in China, and could have ran him to the end after his 2nd stop today. They had to take the chance, no good waiting for Kubica and Rosberg to smash into each other!

 

exactly mate - its fecking weird isnt it. maybe they dont want him to walk, he said he was disapointed with f1 a few weeks back

 

I think it had something to do with the tyres...

They had to put him onto the super soft ones for the midle stint so he could make some headway through the field.... Then go to the harder compound for the end of the race...

The supersoft are supposed to be faster... unfortunately they only last a few laps...

Still think they messed up though....

To be honest it was lost when they didn't bring him in earlier in the last race when his tyres were thread bare....

 

Because changing the tyres three times gained them 10 seconds

Well, that's what Ron Dennis said. (doh)

 

Agree with you there

If they'd changed his tyres earlier in the last race he would have gained more points which would have given him a bigger advantage today. Still, there's always next season. I still want Button and Hamilton at McLaren tho'.

 

what you on about - slower tryes and less fuel = good. but when you put fast tyres on why not fuel up considering another pit stop takes 20 seconds plus ?

 

RE: Because changing the tyres three times gained them 10 seconds

did it ****

 

They look a poor 'team'...

Alonso and Hamilton have been fecked off with the team on more than 1 occasion this year. I've secretly had an opinion that they never wanted Hamilton to win it at all. Got to be up there in the most corrupt sport department.

On the track maybe...

but not considering it takes 17 seconds to make the stop in the first place. I'll stick with my opinion that they didn't really want him to win it in the first place.

 

super soft ones for the midle stint so he could make some headway through the field ???????????</p>

</p>

SOFT ONES WERE SLOWER ! -HEADWAY ? FOOL</p>

 

RE: On the track maybe...

me too mate - something fishy going on there !

 

Yeah but...

He started on the harder compounds so he had to use the softer ones at some point (it's the regulations isn't it) so they used them for a short middle stint. And of course they were forced to go for the three stopper because the softer ones wouldn't have lasted 'til the end.

 

I think you've gone a bit wrong there...

Softer tyres went on at 1st pit stop, not 2nd.</p>

 

Actually, yes!

Three stints would be a two stopper wouldn't it. What am I thinking about. I'm the jackass now.

Trying to regain some credibility... the first stop might have been unplanned due to him flat-spotting his first set of tyres. Hmm.
