QUOTE(Hornet @ Jun 11 2007, 04:26 PM) And that will make alonso so not brilliant for not attempting any defense maneuver There's not much any driver can do when the car behind has much more grip available. You can't brake as late and on tracks with a straight followed by a slow corner like this one it was inevitable at the end of the day.If thats how you wants to put it This post has been edited by verx: Jun 11 2007, 05:21 PM |

Yes you can defend your position if you are just a little slower, how you gonna race when your car is alot slower?
People here got so biased against Alonso, i'm not a big fan of him but that's how i see things happening here |

You can't brake as late and on tracks with a straight followed by a slow corner like this one it was inevitable at the end of the day. It can still be defended. Alonso just kept his line and let Sato through, most driver would have at least made one maneuver to either keep the car behind out of his slip stream or take the ideal racing line to try block the opponent. It's not the first time we see Alonso gave up at the closing stage. Remember when he was overtook by Nick in previous races. |

Dont forget that Alonso was on the super soft tires when Sato make the cut. He is definitely much much slower after all the lawn mowing incidents (how many times did he lawn mow that area? Couldnt remember

Four(4) times at 1st corner alone.
Once at the chicane before the slip stream through the hair pin. Super soft tyres do worn out quickly though. This post has been edited by Raikkonen: Jun 11 2007, 06:46 PM |

Do you think they will use Vettel for USA? I think they might use Glock as he has more race experience.
Anyways, I do believe Fernando knew he cannot do anything against Sato, and just give him. Rather then losing all teh points, he did the smart thing and settle for 2. Horrific crash for Kubica BTW. Lucky he did not slam into the Torro Rosso parked there, or he will launched into the other side of the track. The track needs to be better IMO for next seasons. Heidfeld has strongly critisized the lack of grip and the way that the hairpin will always be damaged year after year. Driver of teh day for me? Suprisingly it's not Lewis, but Wurz. He drove on the slow tyres for half of the race, and had part of his rear wing missing. And he was closing down on Heidfeld rapidly too after the last safety car. |

The US GP will have jump in the number of spectators. Why? Crashes sell. The most watched GP in history was the Catalan GP after the crash and death of Aryton Senna
