For two successive GPs now he has lost grid position during the race.
French GP he lost one place. British GP he lost 2 places and was overtaken by his team mate.

Is this good enough for a driver in one of the very best cars on the grid?

You are becoming extremely boring. I'm not caught up in the Lewis hype that no doubt exists in England, but am enjoying watching his early success.
Most of the posters on this forum are motorsport fans who are largely unbiased. You are coming across like a one eyed football fan and have spoiled several discussions already.

This just balances out the Is This The End For Kimi? thread.

When you have a top 4 car and you are one of the 22 best drivers in the world you will be in the top 4 (why would you be lower!?).

Maybe if you stalled on the grid and had to start from the pit lane, and then drove a storming race?

I'm not into the Hysteria surrounding him - but I think he's got a pretty significant career ahead of him...

Er, no.

That thread was begun in reaction to an actual magazine article in the real world:

TheOriginalGT40 said:
I was shocked to read in today's Autosport that Ferrari have approached Williams behind the scenes to see if they can obtain the services of Rosberg to replace Kimi at Ferrari. The piece goes on to say that Ferrari would be happy to pay Kimi's salary at Williams eek

Given that Kimi is the highest paid driver currently in F1, and that the majority of the 'scoops' that Autosport print turn out to be correct, what kind of message does this give Kimi when he reads this weeks edition! rage
When Autosport or another credible source publishes an article stating that McLaren have approached a competitor with a view to offloading Hamilton whilst still paying his salary, and in return hiring a relatively unproven driver who's much less experienced than the one they'd be replacing, please feel free to raise this topic.

Until then, don't you have better things to do?

If what Ron Dennis said about turning the wick down on Lewis' car to preserve the engine for the race in Germany, it shows what a strong position Lewis is in for the Championship, not the the bubble has burst.

Food for thought...if Kimi were to win every one of the 8 remaining races and Lewis to come second, Lewis would with the Championship by 2 points. (By my calculations, someone please check the working! 8 races, 18point gap, 2pts clawed back per race, 16 points total, Lewis has 2points in hand.). The point being that Lewis doesn't have to win, only score points consistently, which lets admit he seems to be bloody good at.

Iain

Indeed I think I might have said the same on here.

F1 is largely pointless game unless in same cars - just look at Massa pissing past all, all the way to 4th - all the guys in F1 are the NUTS - but unless you have a top car you might as well not turn up.

If there was some real argy bargy and cracking overtaking happening at the front then it would be fine having 4 great cars scrapping but even that doe not happen in this procession we call F1.

They go round the corners far to fast and have lame little 19k engines with no torque as well, shit tyre as well.

I saw no over taking at the front - thank god I was doing some DIY in between watching.
