    I cannot imagine him saying the same if he was sitting by the track enjoying the sun, if his AM failed on him like in the past.
    He probably would have dozed off... :cool:

    lol, FA says the same thing everyone on here repeats ad nauseam and he gets flamed. He also stated that from his perspective, driving in the mid-pack with people close on his ass, that while passing was non-existent it didn't mean that you could relax and not make mistakes.

    I would think that driving 57 laps avoiding being swallowed by your pursuers, and trying to get ahead without making mistakes is enough of a challenge to maintain concentration. Probably not for a former champ who used to lead the field or at least fight for podiums.

    Agree. What I believe FA was merely relating is that he understands the lack of passing is 'boring' to fans but that that has been the state of F1 for a long time. Nothing more. People are reading way too much into his statement.

    Its easy to say we are 'over reacting' along with the entire sports/f1 press and about 99.9% of the fans with drivers admitting same lol. FA can say what he wants and it changes zero. He's blind to reality to how quickly things change in a business. A few more races and lets see what he says. He's out anyway. Name a reason to think he should be on the grid at all. He is done. Thanks for the utterly irrelevant history lesson. Sure racing is not perfect and he offers what solution. A lecture about how its 'always been'. Thanks - but just shut up and drive. What was his recent quote - 'a great Suzuka' lol. Pathetic is more like it. We dont have time to waste in many cases. We allow this sport into our lives. Its easily replaced as he is.
