Yes, end of.

Unless they do a 2009 which is unlikely due to regs barely changing.

Agreed.

Dont think its a good idea at all, some drivers will purposely push it on the last lap. Aka Vettel.

Sooner or later Vettel will push it and as a result crash.

"He seems to have problems if he doesn't win," "When he (Alonso) doesn't win, then he develops incredible political skills," Marko added at a celebratory event in Graz, Austria. http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/alonso-has-problems-when-he-loses-marko/ Kinda agree. Tbh, he been trying very hard to ...

Quite strange, before Brazil everyone counted Button out of everything. Now every guess has him on top 3? Very funny. Anyway: Promising in testing - lacklustre in the race: Mercedez First reprimand: Vettel Will Hamilton make it into Q3?: Yes Will Massa carry his recent form into Melbourne?: No First...

"Is Alonso as good as Senna?" LOL No. Go back to early days of Senna especially his brilliant Monaco race, while other cars were struggling fro grip, crashing off including race winners. Senna was blitzing fast, is Alonso like Senna? well last time Alonso won in a car not capable of podium spots wa...

I will miss: Kobayashi Schumi Senna And Gros if he goes. Because frankly F1 is more then just racing, its also about the crashes and there is nothing more fun then seeing a bunch of drivers who cant do Wheel to Wheel action. Makes the other ones who can AKA Button/Alonso/Lewis (remember that 3 way a...

Teddy007

Love the fact this argument is still going, as a JB/LH fan I can say both drivers deserve race seats but both drivers at times could of got the sack. People say the points dont show the whole story of this season - Nor last. In fact at times Button was more unlucky last season compared to Lewis. It ...

Teddy007

So after watching him in Brazil, he lead the race with a FI in the wet while having two McLarens behind his back. He made a mistake at Turn 1 I think that costed him the podium and destroyed Lewis Hamilton's race. So do you guys think he's a future WDC contender? I looked back at his stats in other...

Teddy007

Personally I would have kept both, both drivers seem to require experience. Now they have a rookie who has done some questionable things this season paired with an unknown (as much as he has tested okay). Senna actually started to do an alright job in the 2nd half of the season. After Maldonado seem...

Teddy007

Sharpen your claws for this one :D After reading the James Allen article comparing Hamilton and Button, I was wondering if bringing Button in to challenge Hamilton destabilised not only the team, but Hamilton as well. Now there are and have been plenty of threads on this, so pleas no 'Button was he...

Teddy007

He needs it in english!!!!

Teddy007

although I do not like one team to dominate, I think although you could argue Red Bull was the best car over all... no way can you say they dominated this season. I would say this. People forget everything adds up. Alonso did what he did with being number 1 and being consistently on the top 4 spots...

Teddy007

Look, I'm a Hamilton fan, it's absolutely gutting the way this season has gone as in my eyes he should at least still be in a position to win the WDC but I honestly put it down to horrible luck and human error, nothing malicious at all. The reasons for Lewis leaving McLaren however is a much more m...

Teddy007

Not possible without Felipe dominating from the beginning of the season, which in turn is going to be tough as the next year's car is going to be built around Fernando. Exactly. As much as I would love to see it so the world can see a repeat of 2007 - it wont happen. Unless Massa from day 1 brings ...

Teddy007

I have not seen any discussion about all the help Vettel got from other team members and others in gaining his 6th place finish to win the championship. First Mar let him through, then Toro Rosso team driver offered no resistance and his buddy , idiot, highly overated Schumacher moved over to let h...

Before anyone says kimi was just as good let me remind them that at a lot of races kimi was nowhere, he didn't have one mechanical retirement and he wasn't taken out of any races. He was often out paced buy his team mate and lets not forget how good that Lotus was. Stop posting. Why because he actu...

Teddy007

To answer your title, as long as he can convince people it is a slow car. It was on the podium in the last 8 races. Exactly. Lots of podiums means he is right there. As I said from day 1 and as I kept saying and no one listened, their Race ace car was right there. Anyway, where else will he go. RBR...

Teddy007

Rewatch works for me.

Teddy007

I actually agree on this, they waited and waited - they should have called the safety car right away but they didnt. If the championship was decided before Brazil I dont think they would have waited more then a second to bring the safety car. I do find it very interesting at the fact they waited for...

Teddy007

Why should heads roll? Because at the end RBR did the best job and had a great car for most of the season. Their worst start to a season still got Vettel 2nd. The only thing Ferrari did wrong this season was made a poor quali car but their race pace competed for top positions. People forget qualifyi...

Teddy007

No doubt his talent level but when he is winning in a 2nd rate team often or doing a good job.

Then he will get more respect.

Newey Factor.

“If we win, we will be very happy but we know we need a strange combination of results,” said Alonso. “ If we don’t win, we will congratulate him and we will try next year .

He has been taking a bit more risks but now maybe under more pressure. He is joining a winning team, a team that has been in F1 longer then most of us have been alive. So many greats have sat in the cockpit of a Mclaren. Pressure is something people have to deal with and it is there, the only way yo...

I respect Damon Hill as a driver and pundit but this article is just pandering to the current buzz around Alonso that so many other pundits and jumping onto. Its like an idea gets put out there, it gains momentum, snowballs and then everybody starts repeating it without thinking about what they are...

Teddy007

RBR Dominated all weekend, I think Vettel could of pulled out a bigger gap on Lewis but Lewis did seem determined to get there. As for the race pace, I would say very equal but there were times Lewis was catching Seb. Hard to say what the driver was maxing out if having all revs available. Was RBR p...

F1 will be forgotten on the BBC, still notihng can compare to their broadcasting before 2012 - everything else even Sky throwing money at everything couldnt compete. Never will be the same again. Dont see DC sticking around for very long and wouldnt surprise me if Sky tried to get DC/EJ on board som...

Teddy007

I think that it is a bit far to say that Lewis will overtake Vettel to compensate anything from 4 years ago. They are all racers, and obviously 22 drivers will not drive for the championship, but they will drive for the race nonetheless disregarding any calculations, except for Massa and Webber. To...

Unfortunately Mercedes, Honda and BAR have wheeled that old chestnut out every year for the last decade. It was true once, and that was on what has been coined the most expensive F1 car in history, but every other year has followed the same pattern...early promise, little to no development and then...

DNF on Vettel - reliability. It chucks it down right after Alonso has done the best time sticking him on pole and Vettel down in 10th. RBR make a mistake?????.... not likely. Ferrari need a miracle in Quali, they have shown that has been their weakness this season but race pace they have been able t...

Teddy007

I agree with that list and I know many who do. There will still be those unhappy but at the end of the day all the facts and statistics went in to account. Including their effect on people and the sport. Senna for one as mentioned in the video was loved by other countries, I grew up watching his per...

Jenson V's The World!!! Sometimes I feel this is the way "How would this guy do against this driver". Well considering in Australia he out right beat Lewis fair and square no excuses, not car setup or nothing - Lewis's face on the podium said it all and he wouldnt of been happy even with 2nd. Altho...

Teddy007

Oh dear, oh dear. I've spent much of the season wondering if the manipulative Alonso I can't abide had gone away and been replaced by an outstanding driver who deserves this year's WDC. Then we get the Massa gearbox trick and I realise I was right all along. The problem is that I'm now stuffed for ...

Teddy007

I don't think Massa is the sort of person who would even consider doing that. Further, he was essentially robbed of his 2008 WDC by Crashgate in Singapore. 1. Dont bring up 2008 he didnt deserve it. 2. This was the kind of driver who nobody thought would bend over as number 2 after claiming live on...

Teddy007

It seems like so many situations he has made good out of mediocre...the start today is another example...bang he is in 4th place...I have to say as someone who previously did not like Alonso - Im very very impressed with the year he has had and his racecraft - killer instinct! I really hope he pull...

Teddy007

I believe any of us would do it if we were him. Unless you have the worth like Lewis. I wouldnt. I dont think even Button would do it, as far as I am concerned the only hope Alonso has is if Vettel gets a DNF in which case the demotion for Massa probably changed nothing. Problem is though Alonso is...
