Since Renault use the same engine, would they have the same engine mapping? Or is that up to the indiviudal team?
I could see how maybe adjusting the engine map to blow more exhaust out maybe could be it, but I doubt that its the only thing. I mean, there is nothing stopping anyone else from throwing a set of hardcore qualifying engine maps in and then changing it on race day. I guess it only seems to be taking less then a 1/10th to do beat the others, but I just don't see an engine map doing that byself, blown exhaust or not.
Speaking of Hamilton getting flustered....see the interview with Lee McKenzie during the post race forum on BBC. I'm rather a fan of Hamilton (prefer Button then Weber, but Lewis comes in third), but he came off as a whiny bitch that lacks humility in that interview. I am least glad that there was a slight tongue and cheek tone to the "cause I'm black" comment...
For some reason I think he might have been holding that in for a bit, but it should have stayed where it was till he got back to the apartment and not on internationally syndicated TV/Radio/Internet. Not so good for you image aye?
Of course it was totally uncalled for and distasteful, but I liked that he wasn't the PR drone that he always is for once. I'd like to see some more honest reactions from the driver rather than the regular "the car was good, we had some problems, there's a long way to go, we worked hard" and all that crap that we hear every single interview. Kind of defeats the purpose of an interview when we know what the people have to say.
From this picture one thing is quite intriguing as the difference in speed from the car being overtaken and the one doing the overtaking.

You can clearly see Hamilton was well behind Schumacher on the first shot, while he was alongside Maldonado
Then at the turn, he was alongside Schumacher already which shows Hamilton was much faster, while on the other scenario, he's still basically at the same place relative to Maldonado, which means both cars had the same speed...
As racecraft goes I think that move was never gonna stick, and Hamilton should have aborted it.
