    Next is Monaco and we´ll see how Hamilton will do there. I have personally nothing against the man but most F1 drivers say this is where your skills are tested.

    Must say McLaren has got their "rocket" in good working order for this season, so far.

    Well could Hamilton had won that one as the commentators said? Well I am not sure, he was being cagey and did he play safe and settle for second place maybe. Well it's neck and neck now on points and it's nice to see no one is way out in front on the points. Lets hope we get a good season right on the edge all the way to the end.

    NEWS -

    F1 Bosses are to investigate McLaren for possible breach of rules.

    Something to do with team orders.

    Over taking at Monaco is a dodgy thing too do so I bet the FIA will do nothing but watch McLaren for a few races.

    The Finnish press of the race: " ...while Kimi Räikkönen was checking the other team´s exhaust pipe solutions during the race..."

    Kimi is starting to get the towel in the face by the international and especially Italian press.

    Hamilton wins the race and what a race it was, well done Hamilton.

    Poor old Robert Kubica that was one hell of a crash just glad to see he came out of it alive
    even so he's out for a while with his broken leg. :ambulance:

    That's very good news about Hamilton - the Press will go nuts tomorrow and now he will start to get real 'media pressure'.....

    Good for Hamilton but Alonso won´t like it....

    Unfortunately I have a feeling Alonso has several clauses in his contract about who is the No 1 driver in the team, before the season nobody truly believed that McClaren could come up with this fast and unbreakable "monster". And that is why everybody was surprised that Alonso would join the team.

    Personally I wish all the best to Hamilton! And I just hope the newspapers will be gentle with him if he should drive some bad races....

    The BBC news yesterday showed a rather charming TV clip of Hamilton taking part in a demonstration of radio-controlled model car racing.It was amusing to see Hamilton's look of patience and intense concentration as he explained the workings to a rather patronising TV presenter.

    ( I should add that Hamilton was seven years old at the time.....;) )

    Hamilton dose it again as he wins in America, what a one man driving machine he is. He truly has the bit between his teeth.

    Great driving again! Alonso seems to be "in pain" for some reason...as well as everybody in the Ferrari team...

    Ferrari did well in France but hard to say if they found the key to success in time...

    Hamilton still picking the points to keep the distance to other drivers...

    Well done Kimi! Another victory, two in a row now, and third this season. Still along to way to go to catch the McLaren twins...

    It is "interesting" to see what the spying incident between McLaren and Ferrari reveals us later on?!! Maybe nothing.

    Great driving by Alonso! Massa was totally left behind looking like a fool....

    Hamilton now knows how a big crash feels like. Now we´ll see how quickly he can get over it. Glad he was not injured except for his pride, perhaps.

    Kimi´s car failed again. He had a great position to get close to the top but now he´s facing a bigger task as there are seven races left.

    Congrats Hamilton on another win!

    However it seems that Hamilton and Alonso are not going to get this season through without punching each other as Ron Dennis seems to be in whole lot of trouble with the guys making little tricks to each other like the ones we saw this weekend during the saturday tests. Just wonder if it´s another Senna-Prost type of saga with both guys out of the competition in every other race....

    Earlier Hamilton had ignored instructions from the pit wall to allow Alonso to overtake him for tactical reasons, much to the chairman's frustration. "Lewis should have slowed and let Fernando past but he didn't. He just charged off," said Dennis.

    Hamilton's frustration was evident when he told Dennis on the team radio, "Don't ever fucking do that to me again." Dennis replied, "Don't ever fucking speak to me like that again", before the championship leader ended the conversation by telling his boss to "go fucking swivel".
