Hamilton: Strategy error cost me
Sat, 28 May 20:01:00 2011
Lewis Hamilton said that a wrong strategy choice was responsible for him qualifying down in seventh place for the Monaco Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver had been fastest in both Q1 and Q2, but only planned a single run at the end of Q3 with super soft tyres and was one of the drivers caught on a flying lap when Sergio Perez's heavy crash brought out the red flags with just over two minutes to go.
In a bid to get a good track position once the green flags waved again, Hamilton left his garage early and queued in the pitlane, causing his tyres to lose temperature and leaving him with cold tyres and brakes and an understeering car.
However, he does not believe that this was the main reason behind his worst qualifying performance since Japan last year.
"It wasn't the waiting in the pitlane, it was the strategy [we took]," said the 2008 world champion. I think we've been going well all weekend and I had the pace for pole; I'm certain about that.
"Engineers advise that we should do one [run] at the end of Q3 and I didn't contest it. You always have to take a balanced view with the engineers.
"I definitely didn't take into account - and I know they didn't either that in Monaco you can't take risks in leaving it [your lap] right to the end.
"You have to get out and get in a banker, like everyone else did. With racing experience you'd assume that most people would have that, but I guess other things were going on and we didn't have that. It's my worst Q3 for a long time."
Hamilton said that Sunday's race would be a case of "damage limitation," for him.
"You can't overtake here, so I'll just get whatever I can," he added. "I won't give up, but there's no chance to win realistically. Sebastian [Vettel] will walk away with it, but that's racing."

kala ko ilang oras? hindi anong oras. hehe
anyway dito sa pinas 8pm ang race.
malaki pagasa ni hamilton sa monaco, kahit malayo sa pole makakagawa yan ng paraan para abutan sila vettel amd webber. he got overtaking skills and he has a strong car.
hoping pa rin si vettel manalo.
so mga 3pm ang start ng race dito KSA time....
wala sa manok ko si Hamilton sa Monaco race, hirap siya dito e....
stick pa din ako sa very wild prediction ko......Vettel,alonso at Button.
yan ang kasarapan ng F1, pwede tayong manghula sino mga top3 every race...
me thread ako sa ibang site ng F1, tinatamad na ako bisitahin yun......
Kung P7, mahihirapa na yan si Hamilton. Ok pa siguro kung sa top 5. Lakas nung top 3 eh. Barring any accidents ha.
Go Vettel, the new Schumi.

We will know when the race starts in less than an hour....
13.2K:boxing1:
place your bet now...este your top3 manoks.....
manalo me litson manok....
akala ko din bro....."However Lewis Hamilton (http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/formula-1/lewis-hamilton.html) lost out most spectacularly, having not set a time prior to the crash. He was at the entrance to the pitlane waiting for the resumption hence he lost the most heat from his rubber and could only secure seventh spot."
anyhow, doesnt matter.....
gogogo!!!!

We're still lapping under the safety car. Vettel leads Button, Alonso, Sutil, Kobayashi, Webber, Hamilton, Maldonado.
Hamilton is down in ninth place. That's where he started the race.
ang gulo....
McLaren tell Button that he must pass Vettel on-track to have a chance of winning.
<LI id=LiveBlog_Post11749800 class=First>Button really is flying. He's catching both Alonso and Vettel at a rate of knots.
<LI id=LiveBlog_Post11749795 class=" Odd">We have just three retirements so far, Glock, Schumacher and Massa.
Top five: Vettel, Alonso (2.4s behind), Button, (10.4s behind), Sutil, (28.7), Kobayashi (0.7s)
^ yup, udated naman pala sa net, la sa cable eh. grrrr
