FORMULA 1 GRAN PREMIO DE ESPAÑA SANTANDER 2012: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

So yet another bad pit call costs them the win and as for Massa it's time he was down the road!

 

Thanks.

 

O and I forgot to mention the didling with the points to keep as many players involved as long as possible. And Alonso would normally be throwing fits at the car not being able to pass today and some other races but he dosnt because even his thick mind understands whats going on, so he cashes his cheque and carries on.

 

Title race.

I don't think it was a bad pit call. More like Alonso got held up at the wrong place and the wrong time, which cost him the win. Like he said in the interview, Marussia got penalized, but the damage was done.

 

Nice to see Lewis go into the Williams garage top congratulate Frank. Suddenly everyone wants to talk to Frank.

BBC interviewing drivers now.

 

+1 good stuff as well.

 

Great race! What more can you say. Well done to FA and certainly to Williams and Pastor!

 

+1 again my thoughts also

 

Fun race to watch, congrats to Frank and the Williams team on his birthday none the less. Even if Alonso was in the lead with 10 laps togo he would have been passed by the Williams car no doubt. But Alonso is making huge strides while Massa EERRRRRR UHHHH

 

Again.......$$$$$$$$, thats all that counts.

 

"the show" is more important than being the series of the "best drivers with the best car manufacturers in the world". Really though, they've always diddled with the rules. Remember the years that the likes of Williams and Benneton we're winning? There's always been a battle to keep f1 from being a Ferrari/McLaren showcase.

 

Pass what ever you're smoking around so the rest of us can enjoy it.
Alonso trailed at the end because he soent his tires in a failed attempt to pass. An attempt that would have been unnecessary had he not been balked earlier.

 

We can't see any of that due to a ball being kicked across the screens in the USA...

 

True but never to this extent.

 

There has never ever been anywhere near the didling with all the rules, points ect ect ect as there has been the last 8 years. If you are one of those that has fallen into that fell good racing mentality in which anyone can win then Im sorry for you but F1 has truely been denutted and its so obvious that is sickening.

 

This is WAY past slowing down Ferrari/Mac. This is the "acceptable" application of Bernie's "sprinklers on the track" idea. He wants 'controlled chaos' that allows a different driver/team to win each race.

Totally contrived series, regardless of its entertainment value. Honestly, I feel guilty even watching it, since I know we're all being played.

 

I wish it were obvious.
They're playing for the mass market money now and from a commercial point of view you can't blame them but F1 was never about that before.

 

See my previous post. Understanding what they're doing doesn't mean I agree. It's insulting to racing purists.

 

minority are complaining but FIA finally successful making the f1 the general people wana watch

 

Another race lost to poor race strategy! Why wait to cover PM's stop when you're losing time.? And then one mistake leads to another—getting stuck behind a slowest car. Idiots!

 

We need a twelve step program.

 

"Speed TV: The world's leader in soccer coverage among racing networks. You're welcome."

 

Yup.
That's the problem.
There are enough mass market racing series as is. No need to drag F1 down too.

 

Then SPEED pours salt into the open wound by skipping the interview session for Soccer WTF! Why the hell is SPEED airing soccer??? Atleast on WindTunnel tonight they will show the after race interviews.

It was great to see Williams back in the winners circle and congrats to Pastor.
