It was just about the "lewis controlled the race", he didn't, the track controlled it for him
And If anyone else had qualified pole and won the race you'd feel the same?

Somehow I doubt it.

Nope, I give him credit where it's due, like being fastest in qualifying etc. What I dislike is the god-status some people seem to put Lewis into.
People support their favourite drivers, I could be wrong... but I think your a rather big fan of Kimi.

Nice drive from Kimi BTW, he got the maximum he could today.

Big fan? Definitely, but I don't still put him to any "god-status" that Lewis has been put to whole his career in F1 by some

Maybe you could list some names of people who think Lewis is some sort of Demigod?

They certainly seem to bother you.

Funny, Grosjean gets screwed by Lotus in pit strategy allowing Kimi to leap frog him despite him having the same pace (until he damaged his tyres fighting Kimi after the last pit stop) but the team didn't give him any clear air. Yet you either choose to ignore it, or fail to recognise it.

Kimi lapped a lot faster than Grosjean did before and after Grosjeans stop, the team told both to push and that they're racing each other.
They used same strategy, too, with Grosjean pitting just few laps earlier both times

The whole thing was one long bore. The only bit of excitement came when the two Lotuses almost ran each other off the road.

The most boring race of the year so far in my opinion.

lol, yeah okay. I didn't think you would notice the team left Grosjean hanging on the rear jack for an extra second and a half for no apparent reason resulting in a slow pit, then he got stuck behind Alonso going slow, while Kimi had free air.

If you apply your odd logic that that Hamilton only won because of the track, and Kimi should have been the real winner. Then applying this logic Grosjean should have won ahead of Kimi. But that's crazy logic.

BTW, how many real overtakes on the track besides the first lap? I didn't see any except MS at the back of the field.

Red Bull really stuffed up with the last pit stop, they cold have easily held track position with the tyres they already had....

You seriously think Lotus intentionally sabotage Grosjeans race to favor Kimi?

Sounds as ridiculous as Kimi beating Hamilton.

Missed this race, but it seems McClaren are back to their best no? Or is it more the track suited the car?

i'd say an equal measure of qualifying setup and driver skill rather than a car suited to that track. As others have said there was precious few overtakes so qualifying position and a good start was key.

So that's why the fastest laps kept being set by lewis and Grosjean through most of the race?
Kimi's best move was holding off his team mate, otherwise he'd've been stuck in third.
Lewis was just doing enough to keep Kimi behind him - how much he had in reserve is open to speculation - certainly Kimi's car was having a lot more problems out of corners than Lewis's was, towards the end.

Regardless, I'll be very disappointed if at least one of the Lotus drivers didn't get a win this year - they're certainly displaying they have the potential.

Problems or trying to find that "just a bit extra" to get past? He didn't really "slip" or "slide" anywhere much.

When did Grosjean set "fastest laptimes most of the race"? Kimi was some 8-10 secs (out of my memory, i'll watch the race again when i can and hope the laptime charts come up soon) behind Grosjean after both had pitted once, before Kimi pitted 2nd time, he did continously fastest times of the race, lap after lap after lap (which all were faster than Grosjeans fastest in the whole race, too)

lol, your entertaining in your blind love for Kimi, if the Lotus drivers races had been reversed you would have been arguing the exact opposite
