    Yeah, cause putting a Jaguar on the front row next to Shumi doesn't count...

    .. and Lewis is doing soooooo well this year in a sub standard car. Click here to enlarge

    In a sport where 1sec is now covering the top 16, if you're not in the best or second best car, you're not going to win. Word.

    i remember reading last year that his engineers quoted it was his driving style that was breaking cars last year, no matter how many warnings they told him to drop his revs and conserve the engine he would always over push the car.. to me thats not a good driver..

    i give it to him but trying to make vettel get a higher position at the end, good teamwork by him.

    I would LOVE to see that in writing. I'm pretty keen to know how you can over rev an engine that was designed to rev to 20k, then got limited by the control ECU to 18k... It won't down change if it will put it above 18k, and won't rev past there on a flat shit. Considering that all of the current engines were designed to rev to 20k and development frozen, now get excluded from the race if they break the 18k mark, I find it pretty hard to beleive that an engineer as said he's over revving the engines... This isn't V8 Supertaxi's we're talking about. Click here to enlarge

    its great to see him finally win a race - also good to see him in a car that doesnt break down all the time. when he moved from jaguar to red bull i was wondering if his poor luck with cars would continue or not. hopefully he can continue and beat vettell or button at the end of the year

    He started in Minardi, then moved to Jag, then to Williams (against Flavio's advice) then back to Red Bull (Jaguar)...

    Jag (Ford) left when Red Bull bought the team.
