You'll be changing your tune whenever he gets a Ferrari. Unlike most of you haters on this board, he's patient and knows what he's doing.

Wow, awesome offer with RB in the lead....

You can't even make a prediction prior to qualy. As I've told you numerous time already, go try to yank someone else's chain.

RB is having a tough go behind FM and his magic KERS button

Indeed, the fastest lap says a lot. Her fan club has been telling us how she's been slow because of the car (a donkey cart???). Doesn't seem to be the case.

One has to wonder where she could have really finished if she didn't choke in qualifying (certainly better than 7th). Then there was the brilliant spin during the warm up lap. Truly, the mark of a champion in top form??

Fixed it for you....
Like Ray mentioned, with Miss Alonso there is always someone/something to blame....the car, the team, the strategy, the weather, the luck, time of the month...
You could put Danica in the car and it would difficult to tell the difference.

Who cares? Fast lap is irrelevant to anyone who knows anything about racing (this means everyone except you and our Jamaican Twig & Berries).

It was HILARIOUS when Fernanda Alonsette spun on the formation lap.

Yeah, sure. As if the way you keep resorting to name calling didn't reflect of your own 'knowledge' of the sport.

Go on, have at it. He's going on to Ferrari eventually and then you'll have to watch him be WDC a third time!

But oh, that's right. Two WDC titles mean nothing to you anyway, since you're so 'knowledgeable.'

ooooo...I didn't know you were SO sensitive.

It's cute how you carry water for the other Alonsette man-crush here...you know, the person who has been claiming Alonsette is going to Ferrari for at least 4 years now.

Sad how Webber wins his first GP and so little fuss is made of it. He is an undervalued talent generally amongst the Fanboys. Not in the industry though.

But his instinct to violently block is a bit disturbing.
Even though he has the faster/fastest car/driver combo.

Thought the drive-through put all his qualifying efforts to waste.
