Glad you find other people misfortune so appealing. Had you considered LH may have been injured whilst you were waving your arms in the air?

You make a valid point... However, it was very clear by his immediate reactions (ie. raising his hands, whacking the steering wheel, and launching said steering wheel some distance) that he was not injured in the slightest.

Voted Petrov. Did well in a Caterham.

And at that point, cheering that someone has crashed out is still, how should I put it, rather a sad point of view.

Alonso , also mentions for Webber and Grosjean . I think Grosjean or Alonso would have put Vettel under some pressure after the SC . I also think Webber would have been third had it not been for the yellows .

No, not at all, it was a tiny shunt and he was unlucky it snapped his wheel at that speed. His contact with Button at Canada last year was at higher speeds than that, and he would have been fine to continue in the race. I didn't consider for one second that he could possibly be injured from it.

No I took pleasure in the fact that Lewis didn't clear ahead in the championship points table with Alonso, being that I'm a Vettel fan. No one wants to see a championship decided by DNF's. I'm sure both Hamilton and Vettel will be able to close the points back up to Alonso.

However, there are plenty of people who watch motorsports to see some good crashes.

Especially if he's British ... Ye Gad, chaps

Anyway, it would seem that the driver of that particular race (according to democratic procedure) was Alonso. Can we move on now?

And again, for taking the bait.

"Been a lot of ****-kissing going on," the 32-year-old told The Express when Alonso was mentioned.

"He won his home grand prix, when everything fell into place. ...Was his performance scary? No, he just did a great job, and so did his team with strategy.
"The scary one is Red Bull. The pace that Sebastian had was amazing. He was on fire, and had a massive difference in pace to the rest of the field. We haven't seen that before for a while."

Pretty good point IMO

That is why it is three fingers, not one (Clarence House rules).

What? I only cheered for Hamilton because I thought he was Australian. I'd better rip up my Australian flag now and stick my Lewis sticker collection in the bin.

Should we expect a new RBR domination from now on ????

**Born Racer** · 2 Jul 2012, 22:19 (Ref:3101093)

I doubt it, but I think they'll be pretty mighty round Silverstone. Alonso will be mighty everywhere. That Ferrari is no dog/truck.
