“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

It stops being a racing incident the moment one of the protagonists blames someone else.
You can't have it all ways! You can't say that if someone yields then there is enough room, but then assume that anyone BUT yourself yields, that is.
This isn't the boring years anymore where you put in on pole and scamper off into the distance for the win. These days you may have to do a little "racing" to win.
How can anyone expect to learn from their mistakes, if they don't admit to making any? I think he's reached his ceiling now. He's quick, but wheel to wheel, Vettel and Hammy have shown the way.
FYI, I'm no Alonso - hater. I'm just a moaner-hater. Now shut up and drive!

Go back, watch the whole season again, re read whatever even the most ignorants of pundits posted so far. Your replies are all there. It's easy, once you take off the anti Alonso glasses. You might find the world makes a lot more sense as well! The good, thing is you can even use logic there!

I think I've slagged off every driver on the grid bar 2 . Kimi cos if he don't care - why should I. and Vettel cos when the pressure is on, the kid responds well. It's because I'm no blind fan-boy that I can change opinion as often as I change my socks. 2 days ago I thought it was in the bag for the spaniard, now I think the german kid has it again.
If you don't welcome opinions, go read a Chinese news site. You don't have to agree other's opinions, but you should welcome them, if for no other reason than to test your own.
Personally, I like a driver to be like James Bond, not Billy Bland! (and on this grid, you can see why I'm frustrated)
Now if you don't mind, I have to take a big dump while you compose your response

Ah, I was thinking about leaving the thread for good, but I think I owe this to Seb: his win could have been boring as hell, but his arrogance/defiance in keeping making fastest laps while his team was freaking out was a great touch for the spectators, and I am thankful for that!
But yeah, he still looks like Tyrion.

Not my cup of tea either Andres, I didn't even get as far as you!
I love Alonso's Twitter feed. He posted this after retiring from the Japanese GP (and that's retiring, not "spinning out" or being "taken out" which are both pretty misleading): "If the enemy thinks in the mountains, attack by sea, if they think in the sea, attack by the mountains." It's a quote from Miyamoto Musashi, a Japanese swordsman, strategist and some would say philosopher, who lived the life of a warrior in 17th century Japan. Anyway, it's cool because I was reading about this guy just a few weeks ago, and, well, it's just cool that Alonso knows about him and quoted him on Twitter. It just is.
Annnnd for a not so good use of Twitter, Lewis Hamilton responded to a made up story about Button unfollowing him which sprang up last week: "Just noticed @jensonbutton unfollowed, thats a shame...I thought we respected one another but clearly he doesn't." When Hamilton realised Button had never followed him he revoked his statement. He added: "My bad [mistake] just found out Jenson never followed me. Don't blame him!". Clearly, unfollowing him would be disrespectful but never bothering to follow him is completely fine

This was racing incident, but the fact is that Kimi punctured Alonso's tyre ''from behind'',after Alonso went in front of him,.
Alonso didn't run over Kimi's front wing.
Even german magazine 'AMuS 'reported, (they don't like Alonso at all), that judges at track found it was Kimi's fault, but because he didn't do it on purpose there was no reason for any punishment.
They said that they don't know what Kimi wanted to do with that move!

George my friend, I still don't understand how I can agree with most of what you post when our tastes differ in all forms of entertainment. The 'Song of Ice and Fire' is my latest obsession, and that considering that I read the first book 3 years ago makes it also one of the longest. Just saying.
And it is indeed cool about Alonso, maybe we can expect another magic trick before season end

This was racing incident...
Alonso was a bit too optimistic. He DIDN'T push Kimi off the track nor he swerved abruptly but could have left him a bit more room. Kimi's return to the track was a bit clumsy and the puncture was unfortunate but these things happen. Both Alonso and Kimi had to go flat-out this race but Alonso had more to lose than Kimi.

George my friend, I still don't understand how I can agree with most of what you post when our tastes differ in all forms of entertainment. The 'Song of Ice and Fire' is my latest obsession, and that considering that I read the first book 3 years ago makes it also one of the longest. Just saying.
And it is indeed cool about Alonso, maybe we can expect another magic trick before season end

Hey, not all forms of entertainment.. I like F1 you know
But I haven't read the books! But then again, I probably never would even attempt to read them It was just the series that didn't hook me into it, I am more of a Deadwood, Dexter, Sopranos sort of person when it comes to American TV!

I watched the first 3 episodes and quit, to be frank. Not my cup of tea.Not enough sex in it for you?

I think animal testing is a terrible idea; they get all nervous and give the wrong answers.

Quite the opposite, in fact.I am reading the books right now. I am halfway through the second book. The funny thing is that probably the books have ten times more gore and sex than the series, yet somehow they are enough interwoven with the story of a brutal, morally ambiguous era to maek some sense.
The series? Just soft porn. If I wanted to watch that I would rather go for a porn channel. I watched 2 or 3 episodes, it's just a lot of tits for underage kids. Or would have been if we lived in the pre internet days, when all we had when we were hormone filled teenagers was some nude magazines and whatever tits we could glimpse in some "serious" flick.
Nowhadays, even my youngest nephew can get all kinds of sex on the internet for free without much bother. Why sit for a full hour to watch a pair of breasts? I'd rather watch Big Bang Theory, Dexter or old re runs of Monk series

"On the rare occasions that I play a racing game I often think ‘you know what this needs? A boss battle or two.’ A Formula One game in which, suddenly, everybody else has a monster truck and their sole desire is to squash you. A street racing game with a tank or two blowing the roads and buildings to bits. A Nascar game with a track that occasionally bends to the right" (Adam Smith - RPS)

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

Faith in humanity restored. I thought I was a VERY weird person when I told my friends "You watch the series because of the sex and gore? C'mon there's tons more in the books!" They looked strangely at me. Snif.

Alehop...come on man, THAT was after Alonso already pushed him onto the grass!!. Don't be blind like almost every other Alonso fan, I expect better from you
Surely Kimi's car needed an extra inch to be able to stay on the tarmac, right?
