So because Alonso passed Hammy and Vettel didn't in the same race that means Vettel is a bad driver? I'm sure after Vettel wins his second WDC, tying Alonso for WDCs, he will still not be happy because he didn't pass Hammy in this race. How many people did Alonso pass yesterday to gain a position, 1?

Remember last year when all Alonso had to do was pass a rookie in an inferior car to win the WDC? Where was his great passing skills then?

Care to make a bet who wins more races the rest of the season, I'll take Vettel and you take Alonso? Want to bet who wins WDC this year? Should be fair bets since Ferrari has developed the car so much in the past 2 races. The same races where rule changes were made to slow Red Bull!

Ok, let me break it down fer yah , get out yer Milky........



Last year i was having lunch with Berne and Flav and they assured me Ferrari would be allowed to challenge RB for the WDC, some how Ferrari's vig never came thru in time and Alonso was not allowed to challenge Faux1 for the WDC , hence the rediculous manipulation of the last 2 races ( Bernie paid the price as many lost good cash ) ...

Since Ferrari paid the vig 3 months ago, I went ahead and informed the plebs what to expect from Ferrari, they will now make a run to the front.

Next on the list are custom tires to give them a little edge, of course Vettel has a big lead ( planned ) this was already calculated into the mix, but Flav was concerned about losing Bahrain , as this was not in the calculations for their staged finish, so they were a bit worried about Alonso catching Vettel at season's end .

I made my bet with Bernie anyway, seeing Vettel is the consummate F-up, like Faux7 when under pressha , IMO Alonso will still beat him ...

Bernie got the message:

Of course, now I understand.
In the original problem, I never took into account the fact that since the monkeys (Alonso fans) could not get the banana (tampons) down from the ceiling by standing on the crate and using the stick, the FIA would simply step in an lower the ceiling.

Vettel made a mistake. He even admitted he made a mistake after the race. But who could forget this:


Alonso drove himself into the wall in Monaco trying to pass where everyone knows passing inside the tunnel on the dirty line is a "no no". Plus what was the first thing that went through Fernando's mind? "Give Ralph the bird". Fortunately Alonso appears to have matured since this crash (he acts like much more of an adult this season than some people around here). If Alonso can learn from his mistakes, so can Vettel and so can Hamilton.

To be fair, how about we bet who wins more races between Alonso and Vettel going forward. I would be up for that one. Let me know...

Montreal is interesting, it has the high speed straights and hard braking chicanes of Monza and the unforgiving walls of Monaco and Singapore.

But is anyone surprised that you are still wearing your blinders refusing to acknowledge that Alonso pulled a boned headed move. For the self professed greatest authority of F1 in the entire world, we would think that even you would know passing inside the tunnel on the dirty line was dumb. I am willing to give Alonso the benefit of the doubt that he has learned from this mistake. Too bad you are too partisan to even recognize the mistake to begin with. To this day you probably still curse Ralph, don't you.

^^^^

Again was Alonso leading the race , was it the last lap .....

Canada was not a Mistake , it was an epic blunder by Vettel on the last lap, now the world knows that Vettel is unstable under presha , exactly why Webber put on deh presha..

I'm in. Bet is for the rest of this season starting in Germany, who has more wins in the last 10 races. How about my 07 Mazda 3 against your 968 Turbo? No seriously what do you want to bet?
