Re: Alonso Barca testing crash/illness.
Wow. Good decision to not take any unnecessary risks, but I find it curious how McLaren on several occasions in that statement point out that he sustained no damage whatsoever during the accident. What would you call having a concussion then? :? I would call that the Ron Dennis misinformation polic...

Re: Massa comments on Fernando, Kimi, Vettel
You might ask why didn't Hamilton back out when Grosjean put the squeeze on in Spa 2012, drivers sometimes don't expect the other driver to drive like they don't even exist, also if you remember Hamilton was seen to be put at fault at Spa 2011 when he moved across on Kobayashi like he wasn't even t...

Re: Which is the Strongest Driver Line-up for 2015?
Bottas/Massa Raikkonen/Vettel Williams ahead of Ferrari is a controversial choice I agree with. Massa overall edged Raikkonen when they were together at Ferrari. Massa edged Kimi in 2008 and the first half of 2009, while Kimi was only better in 2007. Massa overall scored more wins, more pole positi...

I think that Vettel has the most to prove has he seeks to rebuild his reputation, it's good that he has finally moved away from the Red Bull bubble and it will be interesting to see how his career develops from here on.

Re: Massa comments on Fernando, Kimi, Vettel
In 2010 I think he shared the blame for the loss a bit, but in 2012 I think he was desperately unlucky that Grosjean used him as a brake at Spa, otherwise we'd have two triple WDCs on the grid by now. If you believe that Alonso had to share the blame for 2010, then you should accept that he put him...

It's not likely that either McLaren driver will be in the championship hunt, so no need to rush the drivers back from injury. In that case, he could take a sabbatical year then.

That may have something to do with a head injury that needs resting, also there is no need to rush back to drive a car that is clearly not ready to race.
