RON DENNIS Downplays First Turn Incident

Correct.

 

I don't recall him ever doing that to his own teammate. But then again, he never blackmailed his own team either. Maybe that's not what it takes to be successful if you really have talent...

 

Didn't have to, his team mate already was neuted and would have driven off the track and crashed to allow Ferrari appointed 'God' through. He was though extremely dangerous to anybody else on the track ... most times fair (starts) but a few times crazy .


LH is NOT Alonso's team mate, he has made that very clear at Hungry ... they are just driving the same car .

Alonso had the inside line, the RIGHT line ... he can do what he pleases (it is up the guy passing to find away past). All you guys complaining need to stop typing and go do some racing ... grow some balls or something (j/k)

LH is a supreme talent in most respects.
Where he falls short is in the intimidation factor.
He (and ALL drivers) are allowed racing room in each corner.This is why multiple cars can make it through a series of corners, this is standard practice.
FA forced him out. Please make no mistake about this.
Alonshole is responsible to make room for ANY opponent. This was deliberate.
What LH should have done is NOT!!! make room for him; IE take BOTH cars out if FA had not given room ! You are in the lead for the WDC. FA was going to score one more point than you if the order hadn't changed; Take him out !
The next race FA knows he "Owns" LH; this will contine.
Its like the schoolyard bully. Until you accept the fact that he will continue to push you around unless you have it out, he will continue. The secret is to accept the fact that you will get hurt ( as will he) but to go through with it anyhow. It takes a special kind of courage. Step up LH. I'm with you.

 

100% correct.

Pete

 

Yes, but it will never happen. I wish it would have, and seen what would have happened between RD and Bernie, as LH is Bernie's "boy"...

 

agree.

No, Fernando did not drive a smooth line through the corner because with Felipe having to move suddenly in front of him, Alonso had to react to avoid hitting him. And MS did not try to block Jacques, he rammed his car to try and knock Jacques out of the race.

Thank you. It is the responsibility for the car making the pass to get by safely, although if the car making the pass does get its nose in, slamming the door is not generally accepted. Passing around the outside is even more risky, and the only one who seems to know how to do it well is Fernando. Just ask Felipe and MS.

 

There is no more team, since there is nothing more to be gained in terms of WCC points. FA and LH have become bitter rivals racing for the driver's crown. Let them do whatever they want to each other on track and say whatever they want off track. Just get the popcorn out, shut up and enjoy the show.

 

That's because no teammate of his was ever allowed to get close enough to him.

He did, however, do it to his own brother at nearly 200 mph...

 

that's classy right there.........i don't care who you are
much better than Alonso's emails....

 

Based on what his brother is like it was justified...

 

+1 Just played it back a few times and no matter what way I look at it I agree ..

I thought the last thing you should do as a F1 driver was to run your TEAM MATE off the track..

As good as he is, the list of dislikes keeps growing longer..

 

Maybe the real master then is Takuma Sato as he did pull it on Alonshole in Canada. The only moment of the whole race that made me not regret spending the time watching it.
Also if you want to brag about outside and inside lines and locking up in corners and fair racing, then maybe you should google the Gilles Villeneuve duel at the French GP with Rene Arnoux (if I'm not mistaken). That was racing, and what Alonshole did at SPA was just cowardly. All he did was show that he is afraid of the Hamster.
I really hope they get eachother out in one of the next races and lose the Championship (which they should have not been allowed to win anyway). It would be just ironic and so just. The cheaters outcheating themselves out of the championship.
As certain someone here has said before- it couldn't happen to nicer bunch of guys.

 

Yeah, Fernando got Satowned, but even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and again. That's what I think when I see Felipe in a Ferrari.

I wasn't bragging about anything and I don't know how you could have possibly read that into my post; as for Gilles and Rene, they gave eachother barely enough room and did bang wheels a few times but still an epic battle nonetheless that we won't see for as long as the cars are so aero dependent. In any case, I don't blame Fernando for closing the door on Lewis like that; Lewis is an ungrateful punk who has had the benefit of his teammate's experience but will start a big fight within the team and play Mr. Innocent in front of the cameras.

I don't wish to see them crash eachother out but I do want to see Kimi win the WDC and wipe away the stigma of this whole mess, and I want Fernando to show that punk Lewis that Fernando is the better driver in equal equipment. Since Lewis no longer has Fernando's setup to rely on and has been outdriven in the last several GPs, he can only hope for the banzai moves at the start of the race to pick up a few spots (so many people here were giving Lewis **** for cutting the chicane at the start of the Italian GP at Monza and not being penalized but have quickly forgotten). Now Lewis will be forced to rely on something other than his driving skill and it may very well reveal his true character.
