Do you think the strategy was to have Hamilton in anyway possible to take over second from the start just to hold up Massa and Kim. If that was the agenda, it's brilliant... and he pulled it off perfectly. A great team mate to have who will sacrifice himself to keep Alonso in the money. |

Holding up Kimi was probably planned - Massa as well was probably a bonus. |
"Lewis, here is the plan. We want you to take your car, which is
slightly more heavily fuelled than the Ferraris and slightly slower than
them anyway, and put yourself in front of both of them from fourth on
the grid so you can hold them up."
Yeah, right. If he could plan to do that, he isn't just the real deal.
He is an enhanced version of Hakkinen, Schumacher, Prost and Senna all
rolled into one, with a touch of God thrown in to defy the laws of
physics.

he was that he shouldn't chase his teammate too hard, particularly when
longer fueled.

There's a difference between strategy and tactics.
Is it possible that, after finding their 2nd car in 2nd place after the
first two corners, the McLaren team (that includes Hamilton), grabbed
the tactical advantage offered them, and:
1) Hamilton was instructed to give Alonso breathing room, or
2) Hamilton, of his own accord, gave Alonso breathing room.
Nah! Can't happen!
sheesh.

against a double world champion, how many more reasons for the
difference in time in those earlier laps do you need?

Oooh, longer fuelled, defensive driving, in only his second race as against a double world champion, how many more reasons for the difference in time in those earlier laps do you need? |

If he were truly a second a lap off Alonso's pace under those conditions he wouldn't have the seat. |
