Re: Looks like Alonso messed up leaving Ferrari
"All Alonso cares about is the title" well that's true for every driver. Everyone wants to win (maybe not Irvine in his Ferrari days :P ). But he could have a better chance of development starting from where Ferrari is now (best of the rest) than from the mess McLaren is now. Of course, things chang...

Re: Looks like Alonso messed up leaving Ferrari
I'm worried that the Ferrari PU may not have a whole lot of room for improvement. When Marmorini was fired last year, he accused Tombazis for the failure of last year's car because Tombazis insisted on having a very compact PU which ended up underpowered compared to the competition. So it may very w...

I think he did great in last race.

The gap between Ferrari and Mercedes t...

Re: Ferrari is an embarrassment to F1
Alonso's 5th place didn't reflect their real pace. Alonso should've finished 8th or 9th, but a number of cars faster than his had a lot of problems (Hamilton, Vettel and Massa retired, Bottas crashed when he was right behind Alonso, etc.). The truth is that, ATM, the F14T is a turd. And, for those w...

Re: Kimi's 2013 Is Officially Over - Back Surgury on Thursda
Kimi is a genius. If he's out due to injury, Lotus will still have to pay him for the races he missed. And, if they start complaining, he may remind them that his pain was only aggravated because the team fit his seat badly during Singapore practice. Pure gold, and a punch to the face of these crooks.

Re: Webber you can't retire soon enough!
I really doubt Vettel is so much better than everyone else on the grid, including Alonso who beat the previous F1 superstar twice. This can only mean Webber is crap, and unworthy of the seat he has. On top of that, he's already 37, and in decline.
