Re: Alonso caring only for himself and not the sport

Alonso made a good point on testing. They should save money in other areas. Testing is supposed to be extremely expensive so simply saying teams should save money in other ways is a bit of an oxymoron. Alonso is simply being a politician, lobbying for the best interests of his team and not for F1 a...

Re: Marc Marquez assaulted at his home

"Le Iene" talked last evening about the "Italian TV ambush Marquez house" thing. They only had the audio registration of the event, as all the cameras & the tapes were destroyed & hidden by Marquez family. In the registration it's clear that the two journalists (+ 1 cameraman) met Marquez outside h...

Re: Marc Marquez assaulted at his home

Judging by the state of the cameras after the incident, and the journalists' version of the story, there was a fair amount of assaulting back on his or his family's part. I don't understand what do you mean by "assaulting back". They were in someone else's garage, breaking bottles and mocking Marc....

Benetton is no longer a team, hence the brand would be unknown to some fans. I can see the point why it is not important naming all his previous teams.

Senna in '94.
