Well i have a name for Alonso myself: Fingerboy
Watch out for the Fingerboy and Hamsta combination coming ur way!! They are gonna bring McLaren back to where they belong: at the top!!!

More like the FIA helped them to be dominant. And to label them legendary is abit premature. The Schumi era is still too recent and before that Ferrari were nowhere to be seen anyway. Maybe if u meant the Ferrari brand is legendary then i would agree with u.

Not like Ron will care
He's been ard the scene long enough

Of course he doesn't. What else would you expect from the guy?
Ron has been like a father to him in his time with McLaren.
And then he repays him by signing a pre contract in 2005

I dunno about u but i think Alonso left Renault in amicable terms having won them 2 championships. Kimi on the other hand left McLaren criticising the team.

It's perfectly fine to move to another team provided u do it profesionally. Without Alonso Renault wouldn't have won those championships. And he didn't go behind Flavio's back and signed a pre contract 2 years before his contract with Renault ended. He told Flavio he wanted a new challenge and McLaren obviously wanted a new driver knowing that Kimi would leave.

LOL Are those writers Ferrari fans or something
1st of all the British anthem has always been used when McLaren wins. Their centre is in Woking, ENGLAND
And seriously they got to try better if they think McLaren will fall for all that nonsense.
Kimi and Massa are more likely to be at each other's throats than Alonso and Hamilton

I obviously said that in jest...(see my rolleyes smiley there )
I'm not trying to stir up anything. I know a rubbish report when i see one

wow! what an achievement...Congratz man
Too bad he couldn't do it on the track like Heidfeld against a car that had both understeer and oversteer.

F1 cars have always left turbulent air at their wake. The problem now is that F1 cars rely too much on aerodynamic grip that when there is no air going through the wings to generate downforce the car literally flies off the track. Removing winglets won't change much imo.

You read my mind!
But I wouldn't want the cars too low for safety reasons. Slicks is the main thing i want back. More mechanical grip should compensate the lack of aerodynamic efficiency. At least with TC gone there would be more overtaking manouvres...from mistakes instead of course

Massa is more a driver than a racer. Put him on a clear piece of track and he'll fly. But if he is required to race it out with the others he tends to lose his focus.

1st of all nobody is blaming anybody. 2nd of all Alonso was clearly in front by half a car's length but Massa had the inside line. Alonso could have given more space and Massa had enough space actually to avoid contact but it would have jeopardised his race. They made contact and it's just a racing incident. Nothing more to it. Let's look forward to Monaco instead.

Definitely not the engine...
It's more of a combination of different factors...the aerodynamics, change of tyres, motivation factors due to the loss of Alonso..I don't think u can actually pin it on one exact reason as to why they are struggling.

Why are we still arguing about this? Alonso felt clearly that he had given enough space. Massa HAD enough space. But he chose not to let go of his position. End of story. Here are pics that proves that there was enough space


It's not like Alonso squeezed him onto the grass. Massa could have used the curb and both of them could have gotten through without touching each other. But of course that meant Massa letting Alonso pass him which he wasn't about to do.

There's nothing wrong. But there's nothing wrong with what Alonso did either.

So now u're assuming? F1 cars go on curbs all the time...it's not like they lose total grip and fly off the track. If that was the case we would have seen far more accidents.

He thought he was half a car length ahead which is why he didn't wait till turn 2. It's difficult to know where Massa was exactly and he thought Massa would give in which he didn't.

The point is we won't know for sure. If Alonso took a wider line in turn 1 wouldn't that compromise his run towards the next turn despite being on the inside? He clearly wouldn't have been much ahead if he did take a wider line so how can u be certain he would have taken the place off Massa?

No. I don't expect him to slow down. But i wouldn't expect him to knock Massa either.

Alonso was at fault here. He obviously didn't want to lose too many places. But the initial incident wasn't his fault in the 1st palce which is what we are talking about here.

I think they were racing. But you have to admit Massa could have done better. Alonso was right when he said that the incident could have easily caused both of them to be bundled out.

I agree. And not once did i say Massa was at fault. But alot of u have been quick to accuse Alonso and i just wanted to clear that up.

He's still young and he obviously likes to push the car right on the edge. Alonso showed his experience today...pushing just when he needed too. Hamilton can learn a few things from Alonso and when he does, he will be a champion one day
