I think its all getting promising for Alonso, from a couple of races ago when there wasn't ANY competitiveness in Renault, suddenly they are at the top of the field.

Given the new regulations, someone's engine had to go pop, just a shame it was his I guess.

As long as our boy continues to over-achieve in a lesser car, whilst England's sweetheart, "the people's princess", continues to do the opposite, I for one will feel happy. Then maybe someone in England might make the connection that pre-2007 they were off the pace and post-2007 they are off the pace. Alonso factor after all????? Heaven forbid Mr Brundle and your cronies!!!!!!!

I'm actually enjoying Alonso and his driving at the moment.

You are having a laugh arn't you? I mean honestly, you must be..

Renault have made progress for sure, but they were short stopping twice and one long stint (at the end) and as you saw just before the blow up he had no chance of coming in the top 4-5.. But good on Renault for making a huge step forward, but how you can even think he was over-achieving in a lesser car is just... well.. i'd get banned if i said it

I couldn't give a rats backside about Lewis but your total crap Alonso fanboyism has forgotten that during the Alonso days and now there has been different rules and regulations and just like the previous season, Mclaren didn't do all that well until the Mid Euro season, since the tracks tend to suit the longer wheel base chassis of he McLaren, tho this may not be the case this year with the lack of traction control, thus it's a lot harder to keep tyres in a reasonable condition.

Try to look at things how they are, not through silly fanboy tinted glasses.

Not at all
I just like a bit of excitement and once in a while theres a procession. Its happened before at Barcelona.

Ahhh....that rant leads me to believe you now have an inkling of the crap we had to endure last season

I'd forgotten how much I hate watching CH 10 Australia's F1 coverage it is total bollox when compared to NZ sky coverage, commercials covered all of the interesting bits, but as its recorded and not live THIS MAKES NO FLUCKING SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bloody channel 10 muppets insist on filling the gaps with nonsensical bollocky words insted of letting the professional commentators get on with it ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :curse:

interesting free practise this morning.....turkey track looks to be very challenging with out TC this year - many drivers spinning and taking detours...more than other free practises this year.

Brilliant outcome for the mighty Ferrari.

A good race outcome but hardly brilliant for the future aspects when another car can do one extra stop and only be behind the winner by 5 secs tho!

Disappointing that BMW wasn't up there too, makes it all much more interesting..

Roll on Monaco and I shall be there!

How do you work that out

I drove have driven the course in a Sherpa van while they were putting up the barricades.

Hehe It's a great place and a fantastic weekend to be had, tho no entirely sure I would want to live there tho!

I counted up all the points and compared them with all the other sub standard teams and came to the conclusion that Ferrari are on top.........

Thats a bit simplistic isn't it

Interesting though ..... the way I read it was that although Ferrari were clearly much better cars in the last few races, the gap is narrowing quickly
