why would Alonso waste his tires pushing Massa, embarrass him again, and know he was going to get him on the stop anyway? I don't take issue with Massa like many here, but Alonso has earned preferred everything and is definitely Ferrari's best hope of a WDC. If something happens to Fred, Ferrari would put everything behind Phil.
If that were to happen I hope Ferrari would buy a top driver from another team out of his existing contract. E.g. Kimi, Button or even a Sutil until Vettel becomes available.
That look on Felipe's face was because he found out Remy intended to share the pic in the 'Massa Sucks Thread'. >8^) ER
It rained. Massa ahead of Zo in all wet sessions. Do we need a thread for "All the other F1 drivers suck, too"? After all, there were no grip problems at all ... in my armchair. (Didn't get the armchair sideways even once. )
Very true. I hate it when people say phrases like "to tell you the truth" or "honestly speaking". Does that mean that any other time they're just lying through their teeth? I also find it odd when folks say things like "for sure" compared with "probably". It's one or the other dude.
The truth is the premadonna that is Zo "SUCKED" today.. Luca should be giving him a time out with a dunce cap and chair in the corner.. Facts MASSA 22pts ZO 18 pts
Ummmm.....No. The Dunce cap goes to Domenicali--- Ferrari: Alonso gamble backfired | Planet F1 | Formula One | News, Standings, Results, Features, Video Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali concedes the team's gamble to leave Fernando Alonso out longer with a damaged front wing at Sepang didn't pay off. Alonso started the Malaysian Grand Prix third on the grid and he was able to challenge race leader Sebastian Vettel after the first corner, however, the two made contact at Turn 2 and the front wing of his F138 was damaged. The team opted to keep him out on the track, but it wasn't too long before Mark Webber started to challenge him and the front wing gave way and became wedged underneath his car as the Red Bull driver overtook him. The end result was Alonso sliding off the circuit and finishing his 200th grand prix without any points. "We took a risk that didn't pay off," said Domenicali. "The decision was from the pitwall," he added. "Obviously Fernando can feel it in the car, but he could not see the damage from his view. "We take the responsibility as the team. The 'kiss' [on Vettel's car] was unfortunate because we could have taken good points from this race.
The TV report at the time indicated that the pits were expecting Alonso at the end of lap one. Was this incorrect? It seemed that the coupe de grace was administered by contact with Webber on lap two. Not exactly what SD says in the quote. Is it possible that Alonso could have proceeded for another lap or two if there were no second contact?
