Did Hamilton go faster in Australia because his pants were on fire?

May be...

You are right! Maybe he had ants in the pants...especially at the post-race debriefing with the stewards when the pants apparently caught on fire, but due to all that fireproof fabrics the drivers wear, nobody noticed then.

The stupid part of all this is that the so called "witholders of information" (Dave Ryan and Lewis) opted to lie thus taking a huge gamble. They had a secure 4th place finish with guaranteed 5 championship points. Not bad at all for that uncompetitive McLaren in that race. Well, the gamble was to risk the 5 points for 6 points instead (third spot instead of fourth). But the gamble meant that if they lost they would lose the 5 points, and if they won they would gain 6 points (just one more point). Considering that the last 2 championships were decided by one point, I guess I see the point. But to risk a disqualification and zero points to possibly gain one????? It is flat out stupid.

he didn't let trulli pass, he got hung up on the telephone wire


you got me laughing with this one

If I've learnt anything from watching the last 13 or so years of F1, it's that fire is not a good thing for getting a car to the finish...or making it faster.

he's a witholder of information, not a liar.....

LOL very good, (you should work for the papers)
