Wait, where was that posted? That's got to be the idiotic statement of the year. A big clue would be 'moron', and the site...we all know.

Lewis is now in another elite group...there are only two other drivers that have more pole position... Ayrton Senna & Michael Schomacher And Lewis has 3 and a half more years in this car

It's all a bunch of Vettel/Ferrari butthurt I think. Anyway, let's get back to Lewis Hamilton, 3rd on the all time F1 Pole list.

It's got to be overboost with the clutch. The last time I was on that site i was trying to explain the clutch situation to him following the Spanish GP. I gave him quotes and links but he still didn't get it because it didn't fit in with his agenda., which is 'Lewis is distracted'

That guy is nuts... How on earth could someone come to that conclusion and not realise their idiocy.

According to the BBC Nico tried the same clutch setting in the test and stalled the car, and Merc confirmed that Lewis' reaction was actually exceptional to have lost as little time as he did on those settings.
But if I had an overdose I would see it as Lewis having a hangover from hanging out with rappers

If Lewis wins tomorrow and RC screams again, I beg to differ

Mercedes reverts to their 2014 clutch (1 year old versions) and we just saw the result.

Either Merc are giving favouritism for Williams or both Lewis and Nico were distracted by last nights sleep

Don't think Hamilton went back to the old clutch. just rosberg.
Sorry to any Button fans by the way but he is complete crap!

Stunning starts by the Williams cars, whatever they've dove with their bite points and clutch is working.
Loved Hamilton's feistyness at the safety car restart, he lost out but it nearly worked out.
Force India decently fast and both in the points, lost out a bit in the wet.
Ferrari surprisingly slow but helped out by the rain.
Hamilton lost all tyre temperature and pressure after the first batch of rain stopped, Rosberg kept his temperature up maybe because at the start of the wet period he was behind a Williams.
Vettel and Hamilton had perfect pit stop timings, lap 43 was THE golden lap. Hamilton kept pulling out time once he pitted, the gap after Rosberg came out was 8 seconds, he extended it to 12+ seconds
Williams were decently paced today, not quite as fast as Mercedes but faster than Ferrari.
Congratulations to Hamilton, that was a pretty good race.

Excellent Silverstone race - to all the moaners 'were you not entertained?'
Great, brave drive from Lewis, illustrates the difference with Nico, who as usual is over cautious, doesnt make things happen and has to wait for others to open doors
Great try from Williams, really should have let Bottas pass Massa early and maybe build a buffer - could have changed the race, especially once the rain cam had he being first with a buffer
Lucky Ferrari and Seb but excellent timing for the tyre change, hope Kimi enjoyed his last British GP for Ferrari
Great going by Alonso, after that start a point was a result
Great race, and as far as the Merc teammate battle - boys vs men

Mentally weak minded Hamilton thrashes Nico "Come back" Rosberg in Silverstone in dry/wet conditions to take a mentally weakened 5th win of the season after 8 poles, yep Rosberg is definitely onto him.

Excellent indeed, had me on the edge of my seat for the longest. Fantastic drive by quite a few drivers, Alonso included. Force India making solid progress with their B spec car and Renault can't be all that short on power when Kvyat pulled a solid position in a very power hungry track. The Hulk steady as he goes, a solid drive by him all race, only when the rains fell did he drop back.
I have to give special credit to the Williams boys, they made the race. Their lack of pace once the rain came shows how out of their dept they were when high downforce was required but they certainly were prepared to have two guys on the podium today.
A special commentary:
There were 140 thousand spectators on site today, treated to a buffet of a race, because it had a little bit of EVERYTHING, and still people are sour pusses about the sport. Sounded like a lot of cheering from what I heard. Maybe the real fans go to races and the others just... well;
Fuckem' all I say. Based on the results of the GPDA fan survey, here's the reason everyone's ass is sore about the sport. Let's call it how it is.

Did anyone else think Williams were screwing up at the early stages by protecting Massa? I would've either told Bottas you're free to race OR, told Massa to let Bottas through simply because the threat of Mercedes was right behind. It was just STUPID to protect Massa in that situation, and that cost Bottas big time in the overall picture. I sort of understand why they had to do that though, since they'd have to see Massa tearing and causing a mini tsunami in the garage when the race was done.
But if I were Bottas I'd be pissed. It was ridiculous that I was right on my teammate's gearbox, and the faster cars were right behind me, and you're protecting my slower teammate.
