S'funny the way Hamilton is saying "Our car is great but we can't race with the top guys cos of the tyres".

Erm, Lewis, you know the others have the same tyres, right?

Much as many people don't like it, if these are the tyres that F1 is stuck with and your car is destroying them, it isn't a "great" car.

I know he's trying to win friends at a new team and all but I think Lewis needs to lay off the Mercedes kool-aid a little bit and take some lessons from Alonso on how to drop subtle hints aimed at the team during interviews.

Hope the Lewis race falls apart tomorrow and he is over taken by many cars.

A bit worried about Alonso being close to GJ on the grid. Should be an interesting start to the GP with avoiding Grossjean and hoping he avoids you being the name of the game.

I don't see any problem with what Lewis said - the clear implication is that the car doesn't cope with the tyres very well - in fact he said outright it melts the tyres.

So as far as hints to the team go, that's a perfectly obvious one.


Hope the Mercedes somehow manages not to go backwards too badly tomorrow. Hungary is a boring enough track without another Vettel procession...

Lewis is talking rubbish he waffles on that the Mercedes has just as much downforce and mechanical grip as the red bull but it's the tyres man when we bolt those things on they just don't work on our car man.

What utter tosh. The downforce and mechanical grip of the red bull make the tyres work. Twonk what does he think the tyres have an adversion to the colour silver.


Oh I see checco shamed but Button again in quali. That kid really does a good job for his experience level.

Obvious to anyone with half a brain that in race conditions the fast Mercs suffer with tyre problems and grip.

My goodness, you really are incredibly bitter about anything British, as your recent detour into General Discussion showed, aren't you?

Did a British fella steal your girlfriend or something, assuming you're old enough to have one?

Lewis Hamilton replies intelligently to accusations he is a playboy and a jackass.

Hitting back, Hamilton said: 'I don't do hardly any of those things. I don't do drink, very rarely do I ever party. Just because I have a plane - s**t, so many people have planes.'Read more:*http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/for...KABehg8*Follow us:*@MailOnline on Twitter*|*DailyMail on Facebook

Well done Lewis for not doing any of those things hardly ever. But come in man lighten up man it's ok to do a bit of drink once in a while man.

Better yet, Vettel hit Button and Vettel has damage. Hamilton will be doing a dance of joy in his cockpit.

Now approx 10 seconds between Hamilton and Vettle.

EDIT: Now 13.3!

That's ridiculous, he had plenty of room and was much faster, Button was all but letting him through.

Where the stewards just disqualify someone after the race for cutting the chicane...
