I couldn’t believe my eyes. Lewis Hamilton could have sealed the driver’s championship in the Chinese GP. Instead, he didn’t even finish the race after his McLaren was beached at the gravel trap right before the pit entrance.
If my memory do not fail me (lack of sleep), his tires were so worn out that he was driving a few seconds slower than Alonso for at least 2 to 3 laps. Why didn’t his team call him in for a tire change? There were others who have pitted a few laps earlier to change onto dry tires. They could have done the same thing but they didn’t. When Hamilton finally headed towards the pits, it was already too late.
I have no idea whose fault this is — the McLaren team or Hamilton’s. Hamilton had a 12 point lead ahead of Alonso. He didn’t even need to win this GP to win the driver’s championship. Winning the driver’s championship in style is not everything. What matters is to win it. If Hamilton fails to become the world championship in the Brazilian GP in two weeks time, he has no one to blame except himself.
I have my own predictions and speculations on who will win the driver’s championship and why. I am too tired to blog about that now. If you are interested, stay tuned.
