The team suspect that the wing breakage was caused as the result of a collision Hamilton made with another car, believed to be Alonso, at Turn Four on the opening lap.

Well it wasn't a mistake and he was concentrating very hard when he gestured at Fisi He probably picked up the gesture from Alonso

Alonso was waiving his fist at Sutil as well. It's just pure frustration and emotions running high. But Hamilton was definitely road-raging

I agree with Lauda at the moment - great first race but Hmailton has had two disapointing races since. However, look how Massa has bounced back...

Mass Damper clone is coming back:

"Fernando Alonso in Bahrain confirmed that an upcoming suspension development for Barcelona is "similar" to the so-called mass damper, which was banned a couple of years ago."

Re: F1 2008

LH will certainly win a few more races and will be in contention for the World Championship, that I am sure.

Yet, he needs a little more time to smooth out the kinks in his talent

I wonder how "similar" it is to the Mclaren J damper system drawings that Renault had access to but made no use of
