Luck In Formula 1

Thats utter rubbish Alonso and Raikonnen have made mistakes but all you can say is that Raikonnen is the best driver on the grid but Alonso will win the championship end off.

Raikonnen set a lap quicker than Montoya by 2 tenths with twice as much fuel as Montoya thats impressive in my opinion.

Alonso crashing out in Canada in a position to win the race that wasnt impressive my opinion and that was definatly his fault.

And if you remember Alonso span out in Monza last year infact!

So Alonso has only made 1 major mistake all season and is 27 points clear... Not at all bad if you ask me!!!!

Like I have said before to be 27 points clear of 2nd place while you are driving a slower car is something special!!!

"good comments nojvnof1 but if Hakkinen had retired from the 1999 japanese gp, and eddie irvine had become the world champion, do you think he would have deserved it? (obviously I would have loved it)"

as much as it pains me to say it, yes it does. Obviously it doesn't mean he's in the elite class of drivers, but had he won, he'd have deserved it. I mean he did a good job before Michael broke his leg in backing him up, then when the time came to lead the team he did so well. I don't agree with their tactics in Germany and Malaysia, but nonetheless it would have been deserved.

"I'm sorry my friend but 2005 will always be remembered as the year that Kimi Raikkonen should have won the title."

could have, would have, should have, Will Not. I don't see why alot of you are criticising Alonso, it reeks of sour grapes to me. Look, at the start of the year (first 3 races to be specific) the Renault was the best package. Of those 3 races, Alonso won twice and finished third - unlucky to not win in Aust due to rain in quali. Since then the McLaren has been the better package, however McLaren AND Kimi have made far too many mistakes during the year, and Alonso has been able to put himself in a position to capitalise on those mistakes.

The fact he has been in a position to capitalise on such mistakes so many mistakes shows just how fast and consistent the guy is. He's only made one silly driving error (in Canada). Look, neither driver is my favourite, but I'm indifferent either way. I would enjoy either a Kimi or a Fernando championship win, I'm not bothered either way. I believe Fernando will be a worthy and much deserving champion, no driver who wins the title is undeserving or unworthy of such an honour. Besides, it doesn't mean Alonso is the best in F1. All it means is that during this given year, he did the best job.

In order to win you need winning car. McLaren is winning car.

In order to make sure you to finish, you need good quality control. McLaren lets Luck take too big part in that field, that is why they fail so much.

Well the main thing is that its MORE RELIABLE and that isnt Kimis fault if his car breaks down. But we have only seen Alonso under pressure twice. Imola he did very well Canada he hit the wall so its 1-1

Well, it is not Alonso fault that Mclaren produces faster car. And most certainly not his vault that it is unreliable.
