Lewis Hamilton's unlucky puncture in todays Grand prix

Question

Such bad luck for Hamilton, since I cheered when Massa blew out of the race and only three laps to go, how bad is that?!!!!! I love Hamilton Go Lewis! Better karma next time. Who agrees with me?

Answer 1

Unlucky?  He came into the race leading the championship by 4 over his nearest rival.  He leaves leading by 5 over Kimi, whose motivation is always written about.  Massa is down 8 and probably feeling gutted.

Hamilton's bad luck somehow turns out in his favor again, just as his crash in Monaco was perfect timing.

Answer 2

Massa had already punctured him(his overconfidence) as the 5 lights went off..LOL........though sad for massa ....a lot had been said abt him ...aftr silverstone gp and it was the best time to prove a point to the ppl today.bad luck...........but i would ssay nothin bad luck tire preservation is something he(hamilton) must know.....hope he knows it no...also also hope he has learnt about stopping when the red light is on...and also when the red ferrari is in the front....and also that"bad drivers cut corners''......an agressive driver is good or rathre brilliant if he has control over himself.........or rather go and join the baja bug championship....you r not fit for rallying either...........!!!

Answer 3

It wasn't bad luck, Hamilton couldn't handle the Hungarian Grand Price  

Answer 4

i guess u r biased - as I am the other way - i was happy when lewis blew a tire but disappointed when massa's engine blew and kimi was asked to slow down and lost a potential second position

Answer 5

I cannot really agree. Look at today and Monaco he makes it back to the pits and is able to continue which in my book is good luck indeed.

Answer 6

Tyre preservation, I think that is 1 of Hamilton's weakness, so many times that was happened to him. Due to indiscriminate braking as a result of tyre abrasion and finally deflation.

Answer 7

He was unlucky and so was Massa but it all worked out in Hamilton's favour in the end. I know it was really, really bad for Massa but I have to admit to jumping up and down and laughing and screaming cos it meant that Hamilton keeps the lead of the championship! I do feel bad for Massa but that's F1!  

Answer 8

it was bad luck, but I didn't cheer when Felipe blew up (well his car I mean). I could have cried for the poor bloke. I really like Massa, he could almost and I say ALMOST because it will never happen, he could almost make me a Ferrari fan. I did have a bit of a bottom lip out strop on when Lewis had his flat, but Heikki brought it home for McLaren in the end, so a McLaren victory in the end.

Brilliant drive by Glock

Answer 9

It was due to Hamilton's agressive nature with handling the car.  One thing that worries a lot of people is the possibility of a tyre blowout during a race because of his agressiveness, it has happened in qualifying before and now it's happened during a race and it cost him a podium.  Massa actually had a great flawless race but he was let down by the c**p engine.

Answer 10

Hes a daddies boy,a babby,the way he sucks on his drinks tube when being interviewd every time it hasnt went his way,ive said it before and ill say it again his ignorance will get the better of him in the end.He thinks he is superior and the way he had all the other drivers wait on him before the race proves my point.

Answer 11

Hamilton didnt had a bad luck he often has problems with his tires because of his way of driving althought Massa was unlike since it wasnt any driving mistake but a mechanical problem that took him out of the race

Answer 12

Hamilton brought his badluck himself, when he saw Massa beating from the begining, he was so arrogantly driving that he himself blew his tires..
