Of course not, he's spanish

I'd say that he and the rest of Spain would be a lot happier if Hamilton wasn't in Formula 1.

Hamilton made a very stupid mistake for not erring on the side of caution with the Safety Car coming out of the Pit-Lane.

What made it even more maddening for Alonso was that Hamilton's drive-thru penalty didn't even cost him a place as Kobayashi, who was then in third, was so far behind.

Of course, Kobayashi passing Alonso on the 2nd to last lap wouldn't have improved the latter's mood, either.

Button may be a gentleman, but even Stirling Moss thinks he's too nice to be a proper World Champion - a selfish b****r like Hamilton probably has that extra drive to be a multiple winner like Schumi.

Speaking of the latter, he shouldn't have come back - he's not the driver he once was.

Mike.

Yup, but I'm no Alonso fan. I was Kimi Raikkonen fan until he left F1, and now I am a Jenson Button fan. I respect Cheatington for his talent, and reckon he is the fastest guy on the grid, as well as enjoy his racing moves, but I really hate seeing cheating, be it Lewis or anyone else. In this case, this could be a championship worth cheat, and we will only know at the end of the year. But consider the case: Had Lewis and Alonso entered the pit at the same time, Alonso would have passed Lewis in the boxes (Faster stop, no need toc hange nosecone) and that would have ensured that Lewis would have ended far behind Button. So Jenson would have gotten 2nd place easily and would be leading teh championship clearly now.

The bottom message of this all is sad: It pays off to cheat

Yes, that was pathetic. Almost as bad as the track and the race itself.

TarJak · 06-27-10, 09:16 PM

Lots of disappointment all round except for Vettel. Webber's accident looked nasty but glad he was OK. A testament to the safety of the cars now. Webber does seem prone to these brain farts now and then that cost him races.

Ya' know, watching F1 (this is the first season I'm able to watch all the races, if I want) has made me suddenly grateful for the mute button and thankful for the fact that I don't have to read long articles about how Alonso was 'robbed' etc. etc.

The griping about Webber screwing up and taking himself and Kovalinen (sp) out of the race was bad enough, and then after the race...all this.

How do long time F1 fans put up with all the whining? Seriously, tell me, I think I need to develop the skill.

We Ignore it, simple as that

One of the channels I recieve with the satalite is a Austrian channel who regulary broadcasts these Formula 1 races from the 80's, you'll see real men drive real cars and far less Bullsh!t by FIA.
just awesome to see those races

I've watched more of the older races than I have this season, I think, though I've never got to sit and watch the entire 1976 season or anything. Maybe I should.

Not sure if anyone has already posted webbers crash, but here it is...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/moto...ne/8766194.stm

This just shows how safe F1 is, but notice the tantrum webber has throwing out his steering wheel.

XabbaRus · 07-07-10, 02:46 PM

Shame Button didn't get in second.

I was reading on the BBC that apparently when the safety car came out if Hamilton hadn't hesitated and driven straight on it would have been ok as the SC was still behind the line.

I can see how Alonso is upset. Anyway I really want Button to win it. He might not have the outrioght 1 lap pace of Hamilton, but he has the race pace and the race craft to beat him. He set fastest lap in Valencia after all. He is also a good overtaker which some wouldn't have you believe. Just look at Brasil last year. I was surprised he didn't take Kobyashi out earlier but then again Valenica is rubbish for overtaking and having remembered his eralier tussles with Koba he didn't want to get himself taken out of the race.

Root for Button first and if he doesn't win it I'd like to see the title go to Mark Webber.

See you at Silverstone guys on Saturday. Only going for qaulifying this year to get my fill of up close and personal F1 action.

Waming up for Silverstone by having Friday off work to be one of a few who will have a tour of the private Williams F1 Grand Prix Collection at Grove. No video allowed but I will take my DSLR to capture the afternoon.

Go Webber, Hamilton, and Button.

Speaking of Hamo and Jense not sure if this video has been posted yet. Another in the Macca series it seems of vids staring the two. This one is better than when they try to put the car together just because it stars the MP4 of Senna. Just awesome.

XabbaRus · 07-07-10, 03:13 PM

Konovalov, I may be in Spain but I can still brig you for making everyone jealous....

Yeah, that's the point everyone seems to have missed!!!

Go Jense, get the Silverstone Trophy home

Lol. Well at least Spain won to proceed to their first final tonight otherwise it would have been a miserable night where you are.

Hope you took plenty of shorts and t-shirts. I heard that it is stinking hot over there in Spain right now.

And here is the link I forgot to post earlier of the Macca tour:

Nice race and a great victory for Webber.

I really don't get why he is regarded as the number two driver by the Red Bull officials. I think Red Bull has two number one drivers.
