Kweli kabisa mkuu Hamilton anaangushwa sana na watu wake mara nyingi anakosa ushindi katika mazingira ya kusikitisha.
 
At least leo McLaren wamepunguza gap kwa Redbull... Ila Ferrari bado wana kazi kubwa!
 
Wale McLaren wanambeba Sana Button mpaka wanamsahau Mkali wao wanataka kuwa tofauti na wenzao ila itawaponza Tizama Redbull wao na Vattel tu inamfanya Webber ajitahidi tu ndio yanayomkuta Hamilton wangekuwa wana Focus sana Hamilton na Uwamuzi ulioenda shule katika kuingia pitlane Basi hakuna anayemkamata Hamilton... alafu F1 wapo kwajili ya Hamilton akikosea kidogo tu Fine upesiupesi Mie bado nipo palepale Hamilton anahitaji Ron Dennis arudi pale. au la sivyo aende Ferari ila zaidi ya hapo asiende gari lolote magari ni Mclaren na Ferari tu hizo kina redbull wapo kwa muda tu.

Why it's a straight fight between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton for 2011 F1 crown

FOLLOW OUR DEDICATED F1 SERVICE ON TWITTER
By the time the chequered flag fell on Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, and Sebastian Vettel had collected his 14th career win - his fifth in seven starts - there were just three other drivers left on the lead lap.
It's fair to say that's a rarity in Formula One.
In fact you have to go back to the rain-affected British Grand Prix in 2008, one which Lewis Hamilton superbly won, to witness fewer drivers complete the full race distance.
He's at it again: Vettel has won four of the opening five races this term
But such is the dominance of Vettel and Hamilton this season, you wouldn't bet against it happening again anytime soon.
Sunday's race, the first in Spain not to have been won from pole position since 2000, proved why the 2011 drivers' title will be won by either the aforementioned German or Englishman.
Although we may only be five races into this year's 20-race calander (should Bahrain find it's way back into the schedule), it's difficult to see beyond the pair - currently the two best drivers F1 has to offer - adding to their singular world crowns.
So often, people tell me that success in Formula One is reliant solely on the car. And to an extent that statement is true.
Out in front: Vettel and Hamilton were in a league of their own on Sunday
Of course, Vettel and Hamilton wouldn't be streets ahead of the rest, if they were battling it out for Virgin Racing, or Toro Rosso.
But the best comparison in this sport is to that of your team-mate. And the moment Vettel lapped Mark Webber in the sister Red Bull during Sunday's race purely emphasised the gap in class.
Don't get me wrong - Webber is a top driver, and one of Formula One's good guys. The way he won so impeccably in Spain and at Silverstone last year, as well as his superb march to third from the back of the grid in Shanghai earlier this season, more than proved his worth.
Champagne moment: Vettel, Hamilton and Button celebrate on the podium
But unfortunately for the Aussie, statistics don't lie, and the fact that he's been ahead of his team-mate for just four laps this season paints a pretty torrid picture.
Indeed it's unlikely Webber would have stolen the march on Vettel in qualifying this weekend had the German's KERS been working effectively.
While Webber is 1-4 down in qualifying trim, he's 0-5 on raceday, and already a mammoth 51 points behind his younger team-mate in the race for the title.
And over at McLaren, the stats are just as damning for Jenson Button. The Briton is 1-4 down in qualifying, a stat which carries through to race day, and some 16 points adrift of Hamilton in the drivers' standings.
Webber and Button are two excellent drivers, the latter, of course, being a world champion. But Vettel and Hamilton simply possess that edge.
Would Webber have passed Button, Felipe Massa, and Nico Rosberg on his out-lap, as Vettel did on Sunday? Probably not.
Bad day at the office: Webber finished off the podium after starting on pole
Would Button have launched one down the inside of Hamilton, as Lewis did in a reverse-move earlier this year to win in China? Probably not.
These are the moments which separate the great from the very good. Let us hope now that Hamilton can take the fight to Vettel, and ensure the 23-year-old isn't celebrating back-to-back titles by the end of the summer.
An apology
In the wake of being branded an 'anti-German plonker', told to 'grow up and go home', and to actually 'bother to do some research', I've decided to issue an apology to the Michael Schumacher fanclub.
After admitting the 'joy had gone' from Formula One, the seven-times champion bounced back from his Istanbul nightmare with a decent performance in Spain to finish sixth, and ahead of team-mate Nico Rosberg.
Back on track: Schumacher finished ahead of Rosberg in Spain
I came in for a bit of stick for questioning the 42-year-old's future in the sport after he limped to 12th in Turkey.
And although I whole-heartedly stand by those comments, I want to say sorry to those of you who took offence to the column. For what it's worth though, I still think Schumacher made a mistake returning to the grid...
They'll be dancing in the streets of Mexico City
So many jokes, so many sneers, but all those oh-so-nears, wear you down, through the years... But thirty years of hurt, didn't stop Sergio Perez from dreaming, as the rookie recorded his country's first points in Formula One since 1981 after finishing ninth in Spain.
The Sauber man, who had his points-paying finish in the season's curtain-raiser in Australia cruelly stripped away from him for a technical legality, becomes the first Mexican to score in F1 since Hector Rebaque finished for Brabham in the 1981 Dutch Grand Prix.
Tequilas all round, then.
Picture perfect
I'm hugely excited this week, as I've been invited along to a screening of Senna.
The award-winning film, which portrays the life of three-times world champion Ayrton Senna, is released in UK cinemas from June 3.
I'll also be interviewing the film's director, Asif Kapadia. So, if you have a question for BAFTA-winning Asif, send me an email, and I'll put it to him.
Stay tuned to this blog for my verdict on the movie. Until then, here's a trailer to whet your appetite.

Kibs, hii Race ya Monaco hainogi bana. Utafikiri wana race Stone town (unguja!) ...mkunazini via jaws corner, hamamni, -kwa Salehe madawa...ndio maana ajali haziishi! I miss overtakes za Lewis Hamilton.
,....ok, ngoja tuangalie restart.
 
I THINK,F1 has outgrown the monaco circuit,We have been robbed of a grand finale,without being red flagged i am sure Vettel,s tyres would have gone off at the end,na huyu Button despite having fresh tyres and a fast car he just sits there waiting for God to gift him the race
 
Ingekuwa Futiboli, ...Lewis Hamilton tayari angekuwa na Red Card!
 
Hizi strategy za F1,sasa imekuwa kama kubahatisha,hasa haya matairi whereas before you never knew strategy ya timu-now after a few rounds strategy ziko wazi unajua gari imejaa petrol etc eg leo wapinzani wote walijua button lazima aweke hard compounds hence lazima aingie tena kwenye pitstop-vettel ilibidi aingie tena but baada ya kusoma situation akaamua kubahatisha na tyres alizonazo,the gamble paid off sababu ya mashindano kuwa redflagged-kuweko wazi kwa hizi strategies kumepunguza sana kasi ya F1
 
What a shame! changing tyres during safety car just gave Alonso and Vettel free pit stop.Unfair on Button,who had the fatest car the youngest tyre closing on them may have had a good chance of overtaking.
