Was a good race at valencia for a change. Webber's accident was scary. Anyone who watched the bbc footage wonder whether we actually saw it live or whether some director out there spotted it then hit the rewind button.
I knew something was going to happen when I saw webber closing in on heikki. Then when he was in the air it felt like I was watching it in slow motion. Scary.
What another bad showing from hamilton. He gets up the inside of vettel and basically forces vettel to either hit the wall or hit him. Vettel chooses the latter and lewis complains over the radio "vettel hit me". Almost like a footballer taking a dive. I wonder whether that first call over the radio was just an update to his engineers or if it was him trying to attract the attention of Charlie Whiting and get vettel a penalty.
I'm thinking the latter. And then at the end of the race, he apologised to vettel... I'm really starting to hate Lewis. What an arrogant little D*** he is. This is Formula One. Not "the Lewis Hamilton show".
Alonso was right to be angry. A drive through penalty simply wasn't enough and took far too long to happen. It's undeniable. Alonso was right behind Hamilton and stayed within the rules. Hamilton broke the rules, was penalised but still ended up much further up the field than Alonso.
It's not often I'll defend Alonso, but he is 100% in the right on this occasion.
I think it has been summed up by a journalist who asked Hamilton the question 'is this just sour grapes on Alonso's part?' to which Hamilton replied 'yeah'. I agree with this fact entirely.
Not necessarily. Alonso was just annoyed that Hamilton broke the rules and ended up where he did. If it was handled correctly, Hamilton should have been penalised and forced to rejoin behind Alonso.
Try looking at it the other way around. If alonso had been in Hamilton's shoes and vice versa the English media would've kicked up a stink. And Hamilton would have complained in his post race interviews about how alonso "cheated". When the shoe's on the other foot, he just laughs it off.
Tells you a few things about his character.
As for england versus germany... Well done germany. I don't watch football and couldn't care less that Scotland didn't qualify for the world cup... What bugged me was that you couldn't turn on a tv without being subjected to ruthless advertising stating England were going to win the world cup. I know this had nothing to do with the english team or 99.9999999% of the english population, but we are our own country. We are not Scotlandshire and I think it was a bad move showing these adverts in Scotland. Because realistically England had absolutely no chance, and these adverts portrayed it as if England had already won the world cup. So I was understandably glad when they got kicked out and the adverts were taken off our screens.
Anyway, I've gone off topic so I'll just end the post there.
it was certainly better than the Sauber! And they were on pace with McLaren at Montreal, Alonso could have won that race.
