Hamilton was the best qualifyer 2012

Haribo

Hamilton imo is the best qualifier. Laps like Korea 2011, Canada 2010, Spain 2012*, Hungary 2012 a few examples of where he was way better than the rest either by a worse car or utter dominance. However by his blistering laps he occasionally makes slight errors, which I put down to trying too hard,...

Guys maybe be a bit more friendly... Haribo you really have to provide a source for your claims or they will get rubbished. The "grapevine" doesn't count as a source I'm afraid. Mod Blue.

So in 2012 was Goss that must mean that the too slow 2011 car with ill fated octo-exhaust concept was Lowes. 2010 again competitive wasn't Lowe (Alternate years.) 2009 his turn but not apparently. (According to earlier in the thread it was knocked up by Fry who was poached by Ferrari remind me why ...

I'm laughing too much to argue properly.

Here comes saint Paddy the guy in charge of the car that cost Lewis a WDC by breaking down

2012 car is Goss

Hardly a positive aspect

It was Frys project 2009

Haribo

I always got the impression that Hamilton got on well with Paddy, Paddy always came across as being one of Hamilton's biggest supporters at the team As TD though Paddy was responsible for those cars that kept breaking ;) Well i'm not exactly sure what he is responsible for? :? 2011 car was not bad,...

‏@andrewbensonf1 Ross Brawn expected to leave position as Mercedes team boss as result of Paddy Lowe joining. More here soon http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/21571627 And.. Ross moves to Mclaren to team up with Jenson again :) http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Sport/Pix/columnists/2009/3/9/1...

Why is it Hamilton is downplaying his title chances for this year whilst Rosberg is expecting a lot. I've got two theories, Mercedes are either trying to confuse the opposition by having one driver loving the car and the other disliking the car, so other teams don't really know if the Mercedes is g...

Bringing parts that don't work is what makes teams fall behind in the development race.

Maybe they work but some fussy driver is not comfortable with it

@Haribo: How can you say they weakened themselves when the season hasnt even started? If the car is reliable this year and has the speed of last year then, Jenson is more than enough to lead the team to victory. Perez too was good in the Sauber last year.

Haribo

No. We must understand that Hamilton's opinions is based on the McLaren he drove which was the fastest car last year. Thus, It's believable his comments about the Merc being not so good, or as good as his car last year. In comparison to Rosberg, his comments have been much positive towards the car ...

Haribo

@QIWATER: Nobody is saying that Lewis wont be an asset. Ofcourse he will in any team. At the end of the day it was his decision which he took for whatever reasons. Keeping aside the debate of whose fault it was. What Ashley and Laura (i think) are saying (this was even said by Ron Dennis) that, no ...

You point was some teams run underweight to attract sponsors at tests. This is something Mercedes won't do. How do you know, been in a board meeting in Stuttgart or with Tot and Brawn lately?

Why should it not have been legal? There is nothing there to suggest it! Because sometimes teams run what would be illegal parts for evaluation to try and make a legal version.

If Merc had another mediocre year then the board may just pull the plug on the entire team and go back to just making engines. If that happens Hamilton is in big trouble, Button and Perez are under contract at McLaren until the end of 2015, Alonso is at Ferrari until 2015 so he won't go there, Vett...

Look guys - there is no-one more disparaging of the early Hamilton than myself; he was hailed as the demi-god, and to anyone who has half a brain, he has delivered on his promise as a young rookie driver. He has not had the benefit of a dominant car, but whenever he has been give a half chance car,...

Haribo, the Merc's times don't mean anything at the moment until everyone is running in the same conditions at the same time with similar levels of fuel. That won't happen until Oz.

If he was expecting a good car this year, then he made a massive mistake. If anybody expected a good Mercedes this year they're kidding themselves.
