What the fuck does that even mean? 

Oh, and off topic: Where the fuck has the 'scratchy head' emoticon gone?

I used to physically chuckle at Morgan's use of it when I thought she was a man.

Hmpf-in-fucking-deed

7 different winners! Schumi's bad luck is starting to be epic! I wonder what the hell is wrong with Jenson's McLaren. The guy who easily won the Aussie GP a couple of months ago is now 1,5 sec. slower than Hamilton? Maybe Nicole Scherzinger cracked Jenson's chassis with her high heels!

Furthermore annoying how Lotus seems to give bad race strategies to Raikkonen lately. He is no driver for a tyre-saving 1 stop strategy. Grosjean & Perez did well though. + Always nice to see Vettel fall off the podium after training pole!

Webber really seems to be back on his 2010 level. It looks like the title this year will be decided between Alonso, Webber and Vettel. With maybe Hamilton if McLaren can get back on form. A win, plus a constant serie of good points, could make Raikkonen an outsider for the title, with him in 5th now.

Schumacher seems to have overcome his bad luck with 2 strong races. I still don't understand what's wrong with Jenson, but at least he scored some points in the last 2 races and Hamilton was struggling at Silverstone as well.

What's wrong with Jenson?

He's a good driver. When he has the right car, that is. When he doesn't have the right car, he lacks the balls to grit his teeth and fight on the track/the track.

Do you remember the Australian & Chinese GPs this season? And then the Canadian GP not too long ago..

I remember the Oz one (didn't watch China.)

Like I say, he's a good driver when he has the right car.If I remember rightly, Mclaren were dominant in Melbourne and Button led from the first corner. His passive racing style (which sees him looking after his tyres much better than Hamilton) has it own benefits, but one of the benefits is not getting extra percentages out of an off-the-pace car.

Lewis is more aggressive and will push a car harder.

[Johan!]

With the last line I agree. And strangely this season it seems like Agressive drivers get more out of the tyres than the subtle guys like for instance Button and Senna.

So, JP, what do you make of Jenson's race yesterday?

Not bad. Nothing great though.

[Johan!]

Or do you want to claim that the McLaren was the best car this weekend? It's all about coping with the Michelin tyres this year.

Nice to see Vettel being punished for his overtaking off the track. Too bad Alonso wins again, he has a 34 point lead to Webber, 44 to Vettel and 56 to Raikkonen. Let's hope Fernando runs out of good luck in the next gps. He's performing top notch, but also had all the luck. No retirements so far, plus the very lucky win in Malaysia.

Why would I make such an absurd claim?

By all accounts though, McLaren did have improved pace over the weekend.

[Johan!]

Absolutely. But by now even Lewis is 62 points behind. Jenson is even 86 points behind Alonso, but according to Whitmarsh both drivers are still fighting for the crown. Hard to believe.
