Michael's first pitstop was fast! 3.3 sec iirc. Rosberg's retirement did wonders here :lol:
Forza Michael. Forza Jules

With Rosberg out so early, I wasn't expecting Schumacher to accomplish much. :twisted:

The last chapter of Lewis Hamilton’s McLaren career has not started well, according to a report in the The Independent newspaper.

The report cites McLaren insiders as claiming that the Briton has taken a “newfound interest” in the technical details of his 2012 McLaren now that he has decided to jump ship to Mercedes next year.

“He’s been very interested in the exhaust system and the telemetry,” a team insider is quoted as saying.

And Hamilton told reporters on Thursday that he knows all about McLaren’s plans for the 2013 single seater that he will never drive.

“Trust me, it will be a good car next year, I know,” he smiled to his replacement, Sergio Perez, at Suzuka. “I know exactly what’s going on next year with your car.”

Team boss Martin Whitmarsh said that he is not worried.

“I think if I was pursuing intellectual property from other teams, I’d probably go for engineers not drivers,” he said. “But I think Lewis is respectful of the team and what it’s doing.”
Just how much intel can a driver bring to a new team that can actually be useful? Another "Spygate" unfolding here, Mercedes will be more than happy to know something about the Coanda exhausts.

What exactly is Hamilton going to take to Mercedes:

Merc engineer: Lewis tell us something interesting about the McLaren exhaust, how doe sit work?

Lewis: Well,.......<rests chin in hands, deep thought expression> Its got a great big pipe, with an opening through which some hot gas escapes. The hot gas then bends to follow the body work and flows toward the diffuser. Thats my theory of Exhausts and I'm sticking to it.

edit: my fault is a nice strategy..... i just thinking what Michael can do in a Lotus or Sauber this year

edit2: i don't get it.... they put soft for last stint but told him to save fuel ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) this team :wtf:

Mercedes Save fuel command decoded!

it means Michael slow down and stop making us look like plonkers who can't develop a race strategy.

mercedes slowly learning lol.... looked like he was hitting the rev limiter well before the end of the straight though everytime he had drs
](*,) ](*,) ](*,) something is bad with this team why Michael not retire last season or move to other team :wtf:
ah ..don´t forget..it´s parc ferme rules...so you can´t just change your setup-otherwise you would be ordered to start from the back... :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:
To me Formula1 teams seem to live in a bubble not realising the real world around them .How can i expect to make any inroads when i cannot overtake using DRS...It was very clear some cars have the speed on the straights to deny overtaking attempts...but then they had to save fuel anyways so what...forget them.
Schumacher even now does not drop a single word towards his team in public.
At least he said:Going through turn one i saw Nico beached to the right and thought -one less to overtake... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Isn't it funny they spend so much time on the DRS to achieve more topspeed and they still got kicked in the ass by other midfield runners?
This team is horrible. They keep falling back and there is no sign of improvement.

God i would love to see Hamilton today in the MGP struggling on the midfield.

Brawn says it was Lauda, Lauda says it was Brawn, Daimler Benz are mumm, Haug says it was Schumacher, Schumacher says his batteries are flat but only decided that after Mercedes signed Hamilton.

We'll never know the truth but its clear the people who have been lying to the fans for 3 seasons are Haug and Brawn so it's likely they're doing to same.

Schumacher probably p*******d that Brawn and Haug have been pretty underhanded. At no point did Schumacher actually acknowledge that he was made aware of Hamilton negotiations. Its probably likely that Hamilton was Mercedes 2014 plan.

Um we do actually. You live in an alternate reality whereby Schumacher is perfect and was not at fault for anything.
It has been pointed out to you very clearly what happened.
Schumacher had a renewal option with Mercedes written into his contract. He could trigger this any time up to the expiration of the renewal.

This is from Schumacher from himself. I'm going to bold the relevant bits so you dont suffer from memory loss yet again.
We can come back to it as often as you like, if it helps from doing this... :arrow: ](*,)
Obviously there was an option for me to do so at an earlier stage, and I was in the picture when there was the negotiation going on, but I didn’t want to decide. I wasn’t sure about myself, but sometimes in life your destiny will develop by itself.
We know this now as fact. Any attempt to try and rewrite history for some contrived reason is plain stupidity in light of these facts.

It's going to be fun seeing the star engineer Hamilton driving at this tin-pot outfit next season.
