Lewis much quicker than the rest

Formula One

comment on the article

I am so surprised that the ITV commentators didn't notice that despite Lewis only being 5/100th slower than Heiki on the Q2 session, he was on the harder compound tyres. It therefore goes to show that he always had a few extra tenths of a second on the quicker tyres that the Ferraris and his team mate were using. Lewis is very quick and he used one fewer set of the soft compound. All he needs is a good start and he should be strong for the race.

it was kovi who was on the softer. hamilton stayed on the harder, hence the saving of a softer pair.

Hamilton has not been a very good starter, watch Kimi getting in front of the Mclarens at the start, leaving Massa to win the race.

kimi also has been poor from his starts so hopefully hiedfeld will overtake him. also if it stays dry dont forget that lewis is on the clean side and both ferraris on dirty side.

Kimi has been overtaken in the last 3 Grand Prix from the start line, so I dont expect him to get infront of any Mclaren.

mardayvirin you must be joking, apart from a couple of races in his career in F1 that he has had a bad start, Hamilton tends to be a very good starter maybe one of the better of the top 4 drivers over the last 2 seasons

Given the conditions currently in the Ardennes a very greasy track will mean that we cannot expect to see Massa do a killer start as in Hungary. In fact my prediction is that Massa will spin before the end of the first lap. Ham, Kovi, Raik will be the result

to win the WDC.
