A single Alonso win sprinkled with some Red Bull drama is all it took for this F1 thread to eat itself, reason enough for me to hope Alonso stays off the top step for the rest of the season.

Absolutely let Alonso by and not Vettel. As I said, LH would rather anyone get more points than Vettel in that race because that limits the points gap to him. It was clearly in his best interest. We all know there is no love loss between FA and LH, but the math calculation makes perfect sense for allowing the pass.
No helicopters, just math.

You seem to be all over the place with your "Math". 1st you said low fuel, now you are saying it's to take points away from Vettel. What is it ? or will you come up with more "Math" next? LOL

RajDatta

Yes, Alonso's win rubs pff the haters and then come out in packs. Hopefully, he keeps winning and the forums will remain live.

Spew hatred or negativity ?... I would simply call it expressing an opinion.

It is counter balanced by obsessive blind love ... sort of an F1 Fatal Attraction.

Raj, if I'm reading this properly I believe he's saying he hopes Alonso doesn't win anymore so as to keep A. Wayne and the other fanboyz out of these threads with all the BS (present company excluded of course)

How many Alonso wins will it take to get Luis de Prat back in these threads?

Perhaps you should forward this to the FIA ... I mean after the one race "blown diffuser ban" and the "special tires" for the next race, they are going to be running out of ideas.

Perhaps Brian France can buy a stake in Bernie's F1 holdings ... he certainly knows how to "massage" race outcomes.

I know and I twisted it around

I can't speak for others but I never left, even when Alonso didn't win the championship due to a pit error. I have a thick skin

I know Raj, thats why I like you, you took your lashings like a man after Alonso couldn't get by Petrov last year for the title. Others..... well..... they decided to just disappear..... and then reappear ..... like drive by shooters......

Once again I swear there is so much more animosity among some of the fans than the real teams and the real drivers. Alonso's pass on Hamilton was NOT a trivial freebee pass. It took guts on Fernando's part and it also took a good car. It didn't hurt that Ferrari have improved their car lately to the point where it now appears that they are a step ahead of McLaren (and yes Ferrari is faster than Red Bull in a straight line even when Red Bull's KERS is working). Plus it didn't hurt that Hamilton spent a lot of fuel early in the race to make up for his less than ideal 10th place starting grid position in his home GP.

No sour grapes, Ferrari won the 2011 British GP fair and square. On to the next race in Germany.

F1 has always been about the car first and the driver second.

You can "if" that season to death. If Webber hadn't crashed in the rain, then he'd be the 2010 WDC.

I seriously doubt if Vettel is panicking, based on some media sound bite.

2010 can be "if"ed to death from many different angles. Vettel lost 13 points in Bahrain due to an exhaust failure. He lost another 25 points in Australia thanks to brake failure. Vettel lost 25 points in Korean due to a blown engine and Vettel lost 18 points when he tried to pass Webber in Turkey. If any one of these four events had not happened, 2010 would not have been the nail bitter that it was. Also Webber might have run away with 2010 had he not had his bicycle accident that broke his shoulder prior to the Japanese GP.

I seriously doubt he is panicking. Webber or Alonso could win ever race remaining in this season and as long as Vettel comes in 2nd or 3rd, that still would not be enough to pass the young German. The only way Vettel does not win this year is if some other drivers start purposely crashing into him in the races. Some fans may be desperate to have this happen (Vettel purposely crashed in to), but there is only one Flavio who has sent team orders to purposely cause a crash and there is only one Nelson Piquet JR who is dumb enough to follow these orders thinking purposely crashing will save his F1 career.

Red Bull and Vettel have put together a winning package this season. The haters will never accept this, but the haters are also in denial.

A.Wayne

Absolutely cannot match your, Go vettel .. eerrr no go Webber .. err. no go Vettel ....see i got it right

A.Wayne
