cover up story, i certainly dun believe ron dennis would explain the whole truth behind this incident. Mc's are in 1-2 position, agreed with wat ^raikonnen said, ron wouldn't be so stupid and make alonso get penalised for it.

but try to see it from alonso POV (i'm just keeping a open mind here)
you're a 2 time world champion you drive very good and deserved the attention and support from the team but a young upstart comes and you actually have to carry around all this while all your prefered race data is shared all around in another words, you bring alot to team but get less in return
what would you do?
and @ raikonen: the quote is from the alonso mouth to a spanish newspaper, not from ron dennis saving his own a$$ quotes

The stewards should have access to the radio conversations. I'm sure they will clear everything up. But again so many here are jumping to conclusions.

We are still open for any latest developments but so far from what I (eye) can see, Dennis fuming, lollipop up and Alonso stagnant, Alonso's trainer being "pulled by the collar". why so? We'll see.

We'll see. Well Dennis did release a statement regarding the issue. But many choose to ignore it. I know it's Ronspeak and it should be taken with a grain of salt but at least it's still something. Besides normally drivers don't decide when they leave the pits. Their race engineer makes that decision.

I know Ron made a statement and I am sorry if you find my views biased but even being objective, if Alonso were to be guilty, surely Ron will not come out and say so and ruin his team's chances of a possible 1-2 finish by saying Alonso was guilty of so and so which would almost certainly relegate him to the back! And yes, usually race engineers make THAT decision but surely with that little time, Dennis must have briefed them saying that in such a situation, the main thing is that both drivers manage to set times. I find it hard to believe that the race engineer would not have practiced common sense in letting BOTH drivers from the same team to set times rather than Alonso solely setting a good time in the expense of Hamilton. Then again, when we have a Ferrari running out of fuel, what gives?

Evening 
Who?
By the way, Taeng's going to release her solo album soon.
Finally 
Hope it'll broke all records charts and sales.
And Taeng finally made it big in Japan and/or China.
Taeng's instagram has more 3.4 million followers.
Taeyeon’s Solo Album Currently in the Works.
http://www.soompi.com/2015/02/01/girls-gen...y-in-the-works/
It has been reported that Girls’ Generation member Taeyeon is in the middle of gearing up for a new solo album. Aiming for a release in the first half of the year, she is currently gathering songs to be included in the album.
If all goes according to plan, Taeyeon will be the very first member of Girls’ Generation to make her debut as a solo artist.
Taeyeon has already received much recognition from the public for her vocal abilities with a number of solo songs through drama OSTs, such as “If,” “Can You Hear Me,” and more.
It is said that the Girls’ Generation member is joining the list of idols from SM Entertainment to take on a solo debut following SHINee’s Taemin, Super Junior’s Kyuhyun, SHINee’s Jonghyun, as well as f(x)’s Amber, who is expected to release a solo album next month.
Are you excited to see Taeyeon debut as a solo artist in the near future? This post has been edited by Raikkonen: Sep 9 2016, 11:03 PM

Their race engineer makes that decision. If it was the team's decision, everyone would have remain clam. They didn't. They were caught by surprise on Alonso's action. After all, this is McLaren, the team with both their driver at the front of the championship hunt. I don't believe they would make any timing mistake that cost Lewis his 2nd hot lap, no way that will happen. Even the back end teams doesn't make such mistake. Of course at the same time, Ron cannot come out and say their drivers are killing each other. What alonso did wasn't good for the team's image.

I think that's a little harsh on the team though. Unless the entire team plotted against Lewis (which I don't think so), they shouldn't be punish. Instead, Alonso should be the one not allow to score points. Should have sent Alonso to the back of the grid.

I too agree that Alonso's car solely should be punished and therefore, he should be either sent to the back or disqualified from this race. It was just disgusting with the excuses and blaming on the team. Schumacher was crucified, now Alonso's taste of it.

QUOTE(Raikkonen @ Aug 5 2007, 10:28 AM) What was he thinking? He must have known that this sort of act would definitely jeopardize his world champion's fight. Did you guys see what he did to Kimi in Q3? He slowed down...and when Kimi tried to overtake he shuts the door...Kimi was hard on the brakes. What is wrong with this guy?  Do you mean he caused Kimi his pole ? This post has been edited by karhoe: Aug 5 2007, 11:11 AM
