Well done Heidfeld, I don`t want to see Lewis on the podium

**Meiga** · 10th April 2011, 10:34

I am disappointed too, so much good work thrown away by that mistake... Anyway, let's see how far we can go before the checkered flag.

**Red is Best** · 10th April 2011, 10:34

Heidfeld passed Hamilton for 3rd.

**kazi** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Alonso didn't even have to pass hamilton. he could have just waited.

**RockyRaccoon** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Nooo, if only Alonso waited!

**Ste** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Hamlton pits. Guess he still can't look after his tyres then!

**gpmaster** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Damn it, if the DRS was working Fernando has not to take such a big risk. Bad pitstop, disfunctional DRS and now this.....

**LeonKennedy** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Well, after all Alonso got Hamilton..

**Katu** · 10th April 2011, 10:35

Who says MacLaren isn't going to complain to the FIA about Alonso's move?

Yeah in hindsight

**scuderiafan** · 10th April 2011, 10:36

I've got to be honest I'm no enjoying this blame culture here.
befor the race when everybody was like this is the end if the world and now our pace has been good and I agree our pits wrent great but why sack the entire pit crew.

our strategy was fine, and we took advantage of the fct that our car took care of it's tyres. alonso was unlucky.

now both ferraris are ahead of Hamilton so this is good damage limitation.
petrovv business as usual I guess

You don't improve in a few days. You honestly think that the whole team, whether it is Stefano or the pit crew, do not want to perform well and get our boys back on the podium? We need somebody to find out whats the exact cause of the slow pitstop, and whether we can remedy the problem or prevent it from happening again. The crews also need to practise more and focus during the pitstops.

What I'm going to say is it takes time. It's not going to improve so suddenly over a period of one or two weeks.
