    I was thinking about Glock, who you accuse of having deprived Ferrari of a title.

    The poor guy was just minding his ****ing business at the back of the field, completely unaware of who would benefit from his misfortune, but now you promote him as the main protagonist in this Greek tragedy: Massa losing his chance by a cruel twist of fortune.

    I gather there are conspiracy theorists everywhere ...

    Glock knew exactly what he was doing, he may not have known the points gap, but he drove his car as far out of eltons way as he could, he wanted to make sure his best friend got the maximum points, whereas he should have been racing for his team and gathering as many as he was capable for for them. Total also-ran, and glad he is out of f1, he was never ever good enough anyway

    He should have realised Elton never returns his favours, look at the way he dropped Sutil like a stone during his court case, he had input he preferred to keep to himself and let Sutil hang

    I think you are wrong here, and that you are reading too far in what wasn't even obvious at the time.

    What cost Massa the championship in 2008 wasn't Glock, who hoped to finish the race with his tyres completely shot. Fighting for grip, Glock had to let Hamilton and Vettel overtake him in the last laps of the race.

    It was the Singapore crashgate, when he was leading the race and went to lose it to Alonso, thanks to the plot orchestrated by Briatore and Symmons with Nelson Piquet Jr to bring the safety car.

    Unknown at the time, and even a year later, until it was all revealed by Piquet father and son, it was that piece of skulduggery that cost Massa the 2008 title.

    As for Glock, he wasn't a bad driver. He drove for Jordan, Toyota and Marussia and did a good job considering the equipment he had. He is now racing in DTM and wins there.

    Excellent post

    And if anyone thinks alonso wasn't in on the crashgate plot you're delusional. He gave up the info in exchange for immunity. Guy is definitely a survivor if nothing else

    Glock wasn't struggling any harder than anyone else, he didn't put up any fight at all, he drove clean off the circuit and there was no need for it with a few hundred yards to go. In F1 he was rubbish, and if he's doing well in DTM, I'm glad to hear he has improved with age

    Glock or no glock, that title was lost in Singapore and the engine blowing with 2 laps to go whilst easily in the lead in hungary. Hungary alone as an 11 point loss.

    This is why I have no respect for the guy.

    Alonso is toxic: in every team he raced for he created some sort of problems, from spygate to crashgate and others in between...

    Some see him as the best on the grid, the fastest, etc... I personally think he passed his peak years ago and lives on past reputation now.

    I am not impressed at all. I cannot understand why Honda insisted to have him onboard.
    IMO, Ron Dennis was crazy to accept him back at McLaren.

    I think any body coming to Ferrari is taking a step back in his career. The team have been giving us 'next year' thing since 2007.

    Karma. That's why he's only a two time WDC, and probably will stay a two time WDC, even though, he's the most talented on the grid today.

    I have tried to get moderators top set up a poll. I started a new thread ("Alesi & Berger ..."), but it hasn't achieved the desired poll. Any ideas?

    The biggest surprise in this debate is that Bas hasn't entered the fray carrying the banner for Raikkonen. I kind of miss his "Crusades For Kimi!

    KImi needs no bannerman...as i've said pretty often,there is no one in the current grid that can compare to how good he was in 2005/2006....to me clearly the greatest talent ever since Shumacher.
