  1. alonso claimed that canada was "a lottery" and that hamilton just got "lucky". did he forget that at the last race at monte carlo hamilton was ordered NOT to chase him down and given a pit strategy designed to prevent that? handing alonso the win?

    and the "well alonso is adapting to a new team, so..."

    unless i'm mistaken hamilton HAS NEVER RACED AN F1 CAR before this season?

    no need for him to need to adapt i suppose ;)

    Canada was in fact a lotery

    what if the safety car was out a lap earlier while Hamilton was pit in the result would have been different

    As for the monaco Yes Hamilton and Alonso were ordered to rev down their engines and take it easy

    Hamilton did not listen and kept pushing

    As for adapting to a new team remember that Hamilton is with Mclaren sinse he was 11 years old

    I was not talking about adapting to an F1 car but to a new team

    Anyway the key is the Briggestone tyres and that is the main reason why Hamilton and Massa are quicker of their teammates

    wait till the second half of the season and we will see

    Again I am saying that Hamilton is a top driver and soon he ll be world champion but I think Alonso is better

  2. Alonso wears a Carrera Chrono, black face (as does Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren CEO).

    I wondered how long before we got polluted by the 'story' that is Lewis Hamilton. I'm an F1 enthusiast and I am sick-to-the-teeth of hearing his name every two seconds during ITV-F1 coverage.

    The first two words out of Steve Rider's mouth at the beginning of the program covering the Monaco GP were.... Lewis Hamilton.

    I'm supporting Massa this year. I used to think he was rubbish and got his drive simply because of his connections with Jean Todt, but he's improved and matured dramatically and is a genuinely nice and personable guy.

    Iam a big Mclaren fun and also Alonso s too

    Hamilton is a ok driver very fast but also very lycky one two

    in his first year in F1 he has the best car and ofcource all the support of the team

    that and the reason that Alonso is trying to adapt to a new teem and is struggling to learn the Briggestone tyres ( the same Briggestone that hamilton was racing last year in GP2) gives him the advantage for the first half off the season

    but one way or the other Alonso will beat him remember that he beat Michael and Raikkonen and every teammate he had

    After all he is a double world champion Hamilton is just a rookie with one win

    Dont get me wrong Hamilton is going to be a champion one day but its too early

    P.S Alonso wears a carrera with black dial always Tag Heuer is the teams CORPORATE PARTNER

  3. I located an OEM Tag Heuer perforated strap that was fitted to the case and a Tag Heuer Deploy and after all that work, like you I decided the SS bracelet looked the best.........oh well, one has to try these experiments, sometine they work!!

    TimeShare

    Any idea where can I find the perforated croc strap for the tag carrera?

  4. I am also a big fan of Patrick O'Brian's books. I might start reading them for a second time.

    I was shocked that they cast that hobbit Billy Boyd as Barret Bonden, Aubrey's coxswain..

    Reading the books I imagined him as a larger, tougher looking and more uneducated (but deck-wise) man.

    But then again, the movie took a lot of liberties with the other characters as well..

    Did you ever read the last book, the unfinished journey?

    I ordered it from Amazon a couple of days ago and looking forward to read it.

    I believe that a second look to the books will make them even more great

    As for the film I agree that the casting was not as Patric O Brian describes but it was a great movie

    hope they make another one
