Even the greatest make mistakes. Perhaps we tend to only remember what we want to though...
He crashed a bit early in in the Minardi but he was trying very hard.

The only real off day that i can think of that meant anything (sorry if i appear to dismiss your examples) is the end of 2010. Petrov gate!

But yes i agree no driver is perfect and they cannot be on it all the time but golly Alonso never seems to be restrained by the ability of his car, he always takes it as far as he can go wheras others seem to take it as far as it will go.
