He must be seething, this is another drastic error in what is becoming something of a habit over the last 2 seasons with McLaren.

These guy get too much .Why would he complain now he does not have to win but still gets a shed load of money .

[Philtaz]

That's hardly the spirit of human endeavour though is it, weecalf?
If they were just in it for the money, most would retire after half a season, wouldn't they?
Yes, most are paid well, hardly their fault. Plus they do put their lives on the line whilst 'pushing the envelope'.

Furthermore, not all are paid. Some pay the F1 teams in order to drive their car.

I feel sorry for Lewis but with all the technical info the teams have then surely they knew what they were doing, They measure the fuel all the time same as tyre wear so they clearly knew they had just enough to cross the line. They know the rules and should stick to them, Its making them look bad! Hope the race is as exciting and mixed up as Quali though

[Philtaz]

I agree strudledoodle.
Having read Gary Anderson's explanation in the link it sounds more Kwik Fit Service Centre than an F1 Pit Crew.
Still, always exciting when a fast driver has to work his way through the field, hopefully it'll be similar to when Jenson came from last to first in Canada.
