The car is the issue, not the driver. so what was the point of getting Vettel then? Not like he could add a few tenths per lap that Alonso can't.

Univision will bring the whole race without any breaks and one of the NBC channels will bring it as well. I'm lucky I'm Spanish speaker so I will always watch it on Univision live a me the recorded NBC merely for the English commentary which I think is better than the Univision one.

Mattiacci called him on it and signed Vettel instead without Alonso knowing. In the end Alonso had no choice but to leave. You m...

Leave it as it is, it has always been part of racing in F1. Train people to be more attentive when in or around the pitlane.
