I was opposite the pits on the straight. I was watching Hamilton come into the pit, and the next thing you know, he was understeering straight into the gravel trap! Unbelievable! Also what happened a few laps before when Kimi suddenly closed up the 4-5 second gap on him?

D'OH indeed!
It is indeed a mystery why he stayed out for so long when he was 3 or 4 seconds slower than everyone else with 20-odd laps remaining.

It was a calamitous decision by McLaren not to bring Hamilton in for new tyres in the laps up to lap 31.
It reminded me of Nurburgring 2005 when they left Raikkonen out on a badly flat-spotted tyre in the closing stages and he lost the race.
This was worse as there was still a long way to go in the race and it was painfully clear from Lewis's lap times that he was in terrible trouble.
From doing 1m43s laps on lap 25 he slipped to 1m50s on lap 27 and his next three were in the 1m55s.
In other words he was 12 seconds a lap slower than he had been five laps earlier. He lost seven seconds to Alonso in one lap alone.

You know, I am starting to believe that, unknown to the public, F1 cars have a Bluetooth option, aproved by Bernie and Max, so the drivers can receive phone calls from them: "Lewis, now it's the best time to retire from race so we can increase the drama to the max!".
Just kidding guys.

In two weeks Ed
A friend of mine said to me imagine if Alonso had gone out in the way Lewis did, there would probably have been an FIA investigation and Alonso would say the team deliberately sabotaged him!

I was shocked by Ron Dennis's slip of the tongue as well (when he said that Hamilton was really racing against Alonso, not Raikkonen)...what a faux pas!
