But his analogies are LOLsome and something 10 yr old Alonso fanatics would use on the forum. Maze .. searching his way out !!

Senna was ultimately the reason why Prost jumped ship. Did Ron take sides? Of course he did. Did that antagonise Prost? I would imagine so . Hence flinging his Monza trophy into the crowd to the horror of Uncle Ron. Montoya and Ron went bust. And around the same time he tried to play hardball with ...

Yeah he did apologize for 2007. He walked into the Mclaren office and said, and I quote: "Thanks for everything. I know where I screwed it up; it was Hungary. I know exactly what I did wrong. I lost it. That's my regret, otherwise I would have won the championship." The source is the F1 racing Nove...

I'm guessing Kubica also thinks Alonso can be ruthless. When asked a question on the reasons for Massa's decline he said the following: Asked what those factors might be, Kubica answered: “The bad luck to have a cannibal as a teammate.” And he's friend of Alonso, so I doubt he meant it unkindly ;) ...

Dear F1 Strategy Group and Formula One Commission, Was that really the only thing that you could think of in order to keep people focused on WDC and WCC till the very last race? Really? Have you considered the alternative of randomly assigning 100 points to one driver once all the races are over? Th...

Sure Vettel can be considered better. But at this stage of his career? I don't think that's right. Vettel still has a long way to go in F1 and how those years treat him will go a long way in defining how good he will be perceived as. More to the point, Alain Prost at 8? This is the man who has had ...

The short summary of the diagnose: "As evidenced, all the Humans, Martians, Saturnians, Klingons, Borg, Everyones, are in consensus that Alonso is the best driver on the grid and superior to Vettel who is just an average talent." Before you laugh at the opinion of Klingons and Borgs, you should rea...

Well I think Bernie expected Alonso to do a Schumi. Schumi joined Ferrari after winning back to back titles with Benetton and was seeking a new challenge. Ferrari had not won WDC for over 2 decades. It eventually took Schumi 5 seasons to win WDC with Ferrari even though he was a serious challenger ...

Thanks for clearing that up. It was a genuine question from my side :) You are very welcome, and it is a very valid question. :) Now, don't think that because they had a good relationship with Alonso his teammates think he is a huggable teddy bear - I think that it was the same Jarno Trulli who sai...

Is Alonso such good friends with Trulli though, who was fired while ahead of Alonso in the WDC standings? Is he good friends with Piquet? Actually, there is no bad blood between Alonso and Piquet Jr. To the point that Piquet has never, ever said a bad word of Alonso in the multiple interviews that ...

What's the point? 2nd in the Constructor is the point - they were only a knat's wing away from giving Merc the boot. I think that is why LdM gave Alonso 8/10 also. I think the point is they believe he could do better. That is actually a compliment to his talent and ability. Well, what about Luca al...

After reading Webber's comments on Vettel (and seeing some of his actions like the infamous multi-21), do you really think that he is one to bring "team harmony" to a team? What comments exactly are you referring to? Now, I think anyone will have to agree Alonso has shown far more disruptive behavi...

Personally, I would rate them about equal but if I was TP I would take Seb or both if I could. :thumbup: Both of them would be awesome but if I had to choose one I'd pick Vettel. Not only because I feel he is slightly ahead of Fernando currently, but also because of their age difference and for the...

What if such a question was to be answered 3 years ago? Give it another 3 years (the racing difference between the two is 6 years) and ask again the same question.

Thumb rule of F1: When you lose, blame the Pirellis - The whipping boys of the sport. Schumi, I don't think it is a matter of blaming the Pirellis for you losing; I think that it is much more an evidence that from the moment the tyres were changed after Great Britain, Vettel has won all races but o...

True, talking about honor can be a bit slippery slop here. It's the times when... "money talks and honor walks".

Kimi has already had two previous back operations. He injured his back again in Singapore when Lotus didn't fit his seat properly, so he was scheduled to have back surgery at the end of the season. The incident which disqualified Kimi from qualifying in Abu Dhabi was a 21g impact. Alonso is having ...

If it's a genuine back injury that needs a surgery, then I wish Kimi a speedy recovery because a grid without Kimi would be dull. Kimi has already had two previous back operations.

A FIA steward was put inside McLaren box to avoid any sabotage to Alonso´s car because he was conviced they had made a mistake on purpose with the tyre pressures more than once, wich makes the car some tenths slower What more evidences do you need?

Lets assume the world has 3 weird people in a sample of 10. Now if Alonso has 100,000 fans it means 30,000 fans are weird. Because Kimi has 100,000,000,000 fans (just as an example), the number of weirdos also grow up. Its not about kimi or his fan club. Its just statistics. Greater the sample, gre...

For all we know he perhaps has reported it to the police who told him to remove his tweets while they look into the matter.

Engineer and his family are receiving death threats from Kimi fans. This is going to too far. Though I wouldn't mind a Kimi fan beating the crap out of Alan since Alan always hated Kimi .
