:lol:
Really? I also watched the same feed, but didn't see any on-board of Vettel in q2 through puhon. If u can show me video then it will be ok.

If ur only source is ur eyes then I can also claim Lewis was flat through la source :lol:
.....He also got P1 whilst in Reverse and towing a Caravan according to my eyes obviously. :lol:

Just to clarify I’m agreeing with your point.
Another funny guy. :)
One does try. :wink:

Despite their battery trick? :D

I guess it was the same for most people, because everyone was trying to do back to back laps without cooling lap where they recharge the battery.

Hamilton did one cooling lap. 8)

Both had the same tyre age.. and Vettel did several laps without a break whereas Lewis did an unintended cooling lap after a mistake in one of his previous laps.
Last time in Hungary, someone said Hamilton did the lap when track was better, while it was not and now you are saying tyres. The fact is, Vettel did the lap, when the track was getting better, than when Hamilton did. That was the reason why Foece Indias did well, because they were at the right point at right time. Yet, Vettel fell short.
Yea, so what's your point now? Do you want me to tell you a million'th time that Hamilton is the best driver in wet conditions so that you can feel better or get another million'th confirmation? :)
No, you can just do it once for every time it happens.

If you don't want to admit Hamilton is the fastest driver in the wet, then how about, "The car that Hamilton happens to be sitting in tends to, for the most part, somehow, by hook or crook, be faster than the others when the slippery gets wet."

Alternatively, continue to perform mental gymnastics. I give you a 5 out of 10 for effort, but a 10 out of 10 for believing your own BS.

He did not. His penultimate lap came with an error (a big off) and that's why it was 2:07.561. But he did complete that lap. His previous lap was 2:03.053. He only slowed down ahead of bus stop chicane, to start the last lap. So, the lap of 2:07.561 was a combination of completing that lap and preparing for last lap.

At no point did I tell that Hamilton was not fastest wet driver or just won because of his car. Go search for a comment of mine and show me. Then I will delete my account here. Thank you in advance.

You've done a great job avoiding saying precisely that (fastest wet driver), and insinuating precisely that (won because of the car).

Do us a favour and delete it anyway.

There is no need to tell the obvious. I didn't insinuate anything. Again, show me and I will be OK with it. If you can't I will report your comment for accusing me of something I've not done (not to mention your rude last sentence). Deal?

Imagine if in the turn where Lewis went wide,was gravel and not asphalt.

Good catch. But his fans probably won't consider that. :)
When im racing in Karts in the wet, i push harder on corners with tarmac run offs as apposed to gravel or grass run offs. Im sure im not the only driver in the world. Just saying :roll:

Seems reasonable.

It is such a simple thing. A driver pushes harder around asphalt compared to gravel, with the knowledge that there is not as much to lose. Is this rocket science?

Should be a great race tomorrow!! Looking forward to it! Hopefully Vettel can maybe get past Hamilton on first lap!

Good start off the line or get a good slip stream on the straight!

Some drivers like the wet more others like it more when it's dry.
There are thousands of important factors which should be considered in general.
In general, complete drivers are fast wet or dry...
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
