QUOTE(verx @ Mar 20 2007, 12:19 AM) Actually the reporter asked whether this was the 1st time he was pushed hard by a teammate. Alonso replied that Fisichella and Trulli had pushed him hard before mentioning Fisi's win in Aussie...To me it just sounds like he's trying to be politically correct and not offend any of his previous teammates. Maybe u misintepreted what he was trying to say.. And u might be right...Kimi probably couldn't pick up the broadcast  sourcenope, reporter did not mention anything like that. He said "And a lot of speed from your younger teammate. He overtook you at the start of the race and you spent much of the race following him." And then Alonso answered...but he didn't mention anything on Truli. Where did you get that from Anyway I dun think the reporter meant any offence in his question.

QUOTE(verx @ Mar 19 2007, 08:58 PM) Stop taking things out of context. The way the interviews work; they are after all just answering the questions put to them. Besides i don't remember him reasoning anything about finishing 2nd but that's just maybe me. But u wanna know one thing that baffles me...Kimi claimed he lost radio communication for the race...yet after he crossed the finish line....tada..we hear Mr Todt and his race engineer: Congratz Kimi...great job...bla bla Odd don't u think  i think d radio prob is really truth....y would they make up sumthing like that... don't u notice during d 1st pit stop.....d tyres r being brought out by d team, but kimi did not pit as expected...n they quickly keep it back....  initially i tot, 'Huh?! kimi didn't follow order to pit n keep speeding out there?' btw, read news about spyker accusing super aguri about their car illegality..... is tat y super aguri out qualify d honda's??

"Just before the start, my radio broke, so I didn't have a radio the whole race," he revealed, "It was a bit complicated, but at least, before the race, we had a plan of what we wanted to do, so I knew pretty much what I was meant to do.
Strange?

If the radio failed, he still got the pit board to rely on.

Besides even for that question u were referring to i didn't see anything wrong with what he answered...

in qualifying... ferrari,mclaren,bmw are almost at the same pace... but in race, ferrari is by far have the edge...the most experience team using bridgestone tyres, they know how to make the tyre work 100%...while other team maybe just 70% especially in long run...wait untill they got the solution, it just a matter of time...

BMW's pace seems superficial as Nick was on soft. Thus also why he was fast off the line. I think they can be the 3rd best team, and who knows, might even win during the course of the season

I wonder, Toyota still sign Trulli and Ralf. Their contract till when? No plans to use other drivers?

car's aerodynamics and all affect the performance leh....just look at Flabio...he even said shifting to Bridgestone affected Renault's performance. Still not sure how true that is though

a driver doesn't need to have detailed information during a race. It will disrupt his focus in the race. That's why the pitboard only give so little info. Any other information can be managed by his team. That's what the team is there for QUOTE(verx @ Mar 20 2007, 10:17 AM) Ah i thought u meant another question...I was referring to the question asked by Livio Oricchio from O Estado de Sao Paulo...It's in the link u gave...seems like u didn't really read everything did u..  Besides even for that question u were referring to i didn't see anything wrong with what he answered... nah...I couldn't listen to another one of Alonso's rumbling nonsense...turned off the TV after he mentioned Fisi and went to bed anyway...here we go again - QUOTE A new row about the legality of formula one cars could be about to break out in the pit lane of 2007.
The website of American broadcaster Speed TV reports that the under-body of Ferrari's dominant F2007 machine came under quiet scrutiny by rivals and the FIA in Australia.
It is suggested that the car's floor might have been designed to give a performance advantage by moving, which - as in the 'flexing wings' sagas of last year - is illegal.
Predictably, the leading antagonist of the new saga appears to be McLaren, who reportedly suspect that Ferrari's floor lowers at speed to give Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa an unfair speed boost in a straight line.
"We will see how things are in two or three races," McLaren Team Principal Ron Dennis said, explaining that rival teams often seek clarification about rule interpretations early in the season.
He added: "So it takes a race or two to know what is or isn't permitted."
A Ferrari spokesman commented: "It's part of the game any time Ferrari is quickest. It's not the first time that there have been questions about legality.
"If someone has a complaint, there is always the FIA."
