Never heard of pit-board slips falling off the racing line, but just wanted to share a story from The Sun (knowing it's not reliable)
McLaren pit-board slips falling off, onto Lewis

You might've missed this from page 56.

...The start, though, was not Hamilton's only issue as the McLaren driver was heard telling his team over the radio that "someone's dropping something from the pit wall" and that it "hits me on the head."

Explaining after the race exactly what kept falling on his head, the Brit said: "The guys hold the pit boards over the track and two or three slips fell out and hit me in the front of the helmet.

"I was like 'guys this is getting ridiculous' as they kept dropping them and dropping them."

Surely by now Lewis has figured out that they were 'dropping him hints.' After the itchy nuts, kudos to his team for coming up with something new & imaginative. Nailing him on the noggin as he whizzes by the pit wall at over 200kph, their aim & timing must've been impeccable.

I only hope Mr. Hamilton gets the hint that Formula 1 will not miss him, in fact will celibrate the day he gets the hell out. Both fans and drivers will have the greatest party.

Bit harsh isn't it? Let's not start a fanboy debate but wouldn't everyone be annoyed if the pit board numbers hit them in the face?

+1! @windwaves you could try sending him a message directly on twitter. Just tweet @lewishamilton, then you could leave these threads for a more objective nee technical overview.

Good to see that you understand the technical legitimacy of your own contribution.

That car W03 is built like a tank!

MS's cars has got whopped so many times, but he is always able to continue as if nothing happened.

Compare that to hamilton's car at monza 2011, the smallest of nudges and the car was out.

Looking at this pic, it does not seem like Alonso ran Grojean out of space like so many claim.
Wish he would stop driving into MSC so the man can have a incident and component failure free race for a change.

It almost looks like Grosjean bounced off Alonso there. His right tyres aren't on the ground
