This season just gets better and better .... ;)

Can't wait for the race tomorrow. I'll probably be sitting in front of the TV with a large banner saying "C'mon Lewis .. beat the cheating bast*rd" .. :)

I might just make the exact same banner.

There are some reports that alonso waited until a sign from his physio, possibly why ron dennis ripped his headphones off and took him away for questioning.
 
Well, this explanation is certainly more convenient for McLaren than having to say that Alonso sabotaged Hamilton's lap deliberately.

It might be true, but there's clearly no love lost between the two McLaren drivers.

Alonso demoted the 6th, McLaren will not score any points for the weekend.

Should make for an interesting race!

Also Fisichella demoted to 13th on the grid. For blocking the spyker. Think this will give Mclaren grounds for appealling the penalty of constructers points as there is little difference between the two incidents, as they both ended with one driver not allowing another driver to set a fast lap.

They should've swapped the spyke and Fisichella on the grid.

yeah but one was a drivers actions, the other was a driver f*cking his team mate's lap, and the team trying to cover it up!

Well they were both driver actions, the only difference from what has been reported was Ron Dennis' statement, which can be attributted to PR to keep the, obvious, tensions in the team down. Mclaren knew that they couldn't cover it up as they had to submit radio recordings so if they tried to do so in the investigation the are outright stupid.
 
Alonso is a world-class driver, but also a world-class whiner.:D

Talk about a poor sport though...where will he go? Back to Renault I guess, Ferrari wouldn't want him.

Hamilton is amazing, but he may be a bit of a primadonna as well, carefully nurtured through the ranks of motor sport to be an F1 world champion - put two primadonnas together and you have this.
 
I watched the race last night and then went back to watch quali to see it all unfold in real-time. The post quali press conference was precious! Alonso was being a baby if you ask me. I doubt that when Lewis ignored the order to let Alonso pass adversely affected him to the degree that Alonso hurt Lewis. I'm not saying that Lewis is a saint either.

I will not shed a tear if Alonso leave McLaren. It makes that MB commercial available on YouTube even more enjoyable...

Dang - and now we have to wait 3 weeks for another race to see the shenanigans continue. Maybe Alonso will cool down. Wait, he's a Spaniard. Nevermind. :D
 
How could Alonso expect McLaren to make him the preferred driver? What does he want them to do? give Hamilton a slower car?

They were quoting Hamilton as hitting Ron Dennis with some pretty raw language over the radio.

My personal experience with F1 has been largely limited to the Schumacher era, so this season has been the most exciting I've ever witnessed. Hamilton and Alonso are so closely matched in skill, and they drive the same cars! And now they hate each other!

Welcome to F1 circa 1988/89. ;) :D
 
I did read something about Alonso will go to BMW next season. Don't remember where I did read it but anyone of you have any news about this?
 
It appears that David Coulthard is being a naughty boy! It put a smile on my face.

"How do we know that Ferrari didn’t deliberately not put fuel in Felipe’s car?" he asked.

"Maybe that was a team decision to benefit Kimi. How do you forget to put fuel in the car?

"No one said anything about that. It didn’t allow you (Massa) to get out on the track."

A clearly discomfited Massa, sitting in front of Coulthard, interjected: "Yeah but it wasn’t on purpose – it was a misunderstanding."

Tongue now firmly in cheek, Coulthard retorted: "A pretty fundamental misunderstanding. I think it’s a conspiracy to favour Kimi. Good luck."
