Re: Red Bull insiders: Alonso is faster than Kimi by some ma

against my better judgement... You asked me what I considered were the benefits of being a number one driver, not to provide proof. I pointed you to a couple of posts where I outlined them. They don't "back up" anybody's claim, but are simply a statement of benefits in general. You've tried to take...

I don't agree with that. A lot of calculation goes into pit stops and when they take place may be fluid as the race unfolds.

Re: Rate Ferrari, what should Alonso do?

Needs a poll option like... Alonso got the best out of the car, Unfortunately for him that has meant challenging for podiums more often than race wins and therefor makes WDC''s an unlikely proposition barring the failure's of others.


But it's a bit long winded so i went for Ferrari sucks. 8)

It all depends on the cars he's given for the rest of his career. If he keeps on getting top machinery he could well break Schumacher's record. But there's just as much chance he could stop winning at all after this year. Alonso was said to have a good shot at breaking Schumacher's records after 20...
