Yeah a 10 place grid drop would be great for them

[RobH]

just finished watching it.  thredders with that result. 

hamilton fecked up plain and simple purely his own fault. button had a bit of bad luck with traffic, but to be fair alonso had more than enough in the tank.  before those pitstops he was up buttons rear wing even with the turbulant air.  when he had the lead he just disappeared.

wander if alonso engine will last  though, they have used all of their alloted engines now, and that was definitely maxed out there

Yeh that is a good point, i think vettel is also on his last engine and webber his 2nd to last, so that will come into play.

Anyone know how much Hamilton and button have left?

[vRS Carl]

Iirc Jenson & Lewis are on their 7th

what i wold really like to see is alonso's engine go bang while he is in the car, causing a catastophic fire, which means he is unable to finish the season.  Then watch ferrari suck up to massa, while lewis wins the championship.

Setting fire to Alonso mmmmmm,  maybe a tad harsh

I wouldnt mind seeing a turn of events which go against him like the safety car incident with hamilton where he goes bonkers in the car and makes loads of mistakes and accuses everyone of fixing the race, when we all know who fixes races doent we Alonso

[RedRobin]

^^^^
Yes, I wouldn't wish actual physical harm on Alonso. Much as I love Ferrari, I just don't want Alonso to win races and the championship. But the reality is that he's an ace driver and when the Ferrari runs well he's a very serious contender.

Would have preferred to see the other red car win the race, but got to hand it to alonso.
not the biggest fan, of alonso, but got to respect him as he is the only driver really, bar Hakinnen, to beat Schumi and Ferrari, when both where competive.

Nah it wouldn't. Would just be a waste of Fuel & a Match

[vRS Carl]

Vettel and Alonso are looking strong for qualifying today.   

[RobH]

I fear mclarens season may be over now although anything can happen but there a second behind so far in qualifying and the rest of the racers left favor the higher downforce cars.

So as much as it pains me to say this id rather have webber win than the other two idiots

[RobH]

Ok well may have spoke to soon with that lap from hamilton, looks like im the idiot

[vRS Carl]

I just hope Hamilton and Button can get past Alonso and Vettel with a good pit stop strategy tomorrow and then lock the rest out.

Am I the only one supporting Alonso?

Certainly looks that way. Revel in being different.
