No.....hammie is just whining again...like he always does. He used to act like he was the next Michael Schumacher (around the time when he was trying to shaft Alonso).
Typical one hit wonder-boy  . |

In my couple years of looking at F1 racing........... i have taken a liking for the toyota team, trulli and glock are not impressive but i see they fight all the way.
Question..... how big of an advantage or disadvantage do teams have on each other when they are using the same engine? Take for example Brawn, Mclaren & Force India...If teams are using the same engine then is it harder to design a car to compete with your rivals ? |

I think McLaren get a better specced engine than BrawnGP or Force India cuz Mercedes owns a large percentage of McLaren. |

Since the first race i've been saying that Brawn has the adv. because of the old Honda team last year...same with Toyota because of their budget...that's why RBR has hands down been the most impressive team for me this year...

They won't usually get the exact engine...the best r&d will go to Mclaren because they have the highest budget, are the most popular/experienced and are expected to do the best in the championship...
The same with others in the last few years, eg Ferrari and Sauber... |

Totally agree with this. But on the flipside.....look at Torro Rosso........bt then again....is that attributed to the engine (different to the RBR car ), or the fact that Torro Rosso seems to have the "younger" drivers....? |

Nico Rosberg fastest yet again for today's free practice session 2 in Monaco.
Betcha he'll disappoint in qualifying and the race like he did for the entire season so far. |

Same chassis as RBR which was designed by Adrian Newey, and a fairly decent Ferrari powerplant.
STR should be doing better laptimes than they currently are. |

| F1 isn't won by the major designs...chassis etc. are almost the same all across the board...its the nitty gritty and the hundreths of seconds here and there that adds up...RBR has the staff, funding and experience to get that extra bit... |

This is going to be Ferrari's best change to get a podium for the season, hell, they could even get the race victory if Kimi manages to jump Button on the start using KERS.
Overtaking in Monaco is near impossible. |

that is true i can see kers from kimi coming into play, but he also has to worry about rubens. recently hes been very quick off the start. in spain didnt he come from 3, or 4th on teh start and after the 1st corner was first?
either way its good to see the table mixing up a bit.
as for hamilton 
lets go brawn lets go!! |
