Wow I aint heard of this before. A one on one battle would be awesome to see in all those events. They show do it for charity or something.

Agree with you Rossi rocks!
I don´t believe that Alonso could raise with the F1 the diference that Rossi put in with the bike. And for rally car the things will were similar.
Surely that the bike is more dificult to ride, except in fast curves where the car goes thoroughly and the bike had gone of braking.

Apart from I want to say (acording with spanish press ) that was Alonso who begins the duel probably after have seen how Rossi only was few decims slower than Massa! (to me)

But all this happens because this person (Alonso) yeah! it´s very good driver probably the most complete actually (and he really knows) is an abnorm guy.

Alonso has been reading too much of his own publicity.

Ronin, that's bullshit. The fact that you contribute Alonso's title to luck shows that you don't have a fucking clue about F1.

However, Alonso is a coward though not going into Rossi's proposal after having such a big mouth about Rossi.

His luck was the result of Kimis no luck.

That wasn't luck, but McLaren's simply being capable of building a reliable car. Alonso kept cool the whole year and had the best car. I'm not saying he's the fastest, but you gotta give credit where credit is due, Alonso performed impressively.

I watched every race last reason and i can say Alonos did have a great deal of luck on his side, that pulled him through and poor kimi, well he will be going to Ferrari next year ? But no doubt Alonso had the skill to back the car up, but some races were just served on a plater for him.

bmagni · 04-05-2006, 11:38 PM

forza rossi !

Alonso should shut the hell up, hes not as good as he thinks, or as everyone thinks, he has just had the best car, the best reliability and good luck (as in kimi deing in first place or for a podium finish and the engine blowing, and Ferrari having an awful car and awful tyres)

lol whats your point lol?

Is Kimi a Macca engineer all of a sudden?

No he isnt.

He's just a driver who is given a car that never goes more then oh so many laps.

Hence he has no luck on his side.

I dont know how else to put it.............

So you are telling me that Kimis crash at Nurburgring where his front suspension shattered from a flat-spot was Mclaren's reliability? Alonso did what 90% of other drivers did, nothing out of the ordinary.

Alonso's first flying lap would see him highsided over a fence. And i'd loop the replay in gif form in my avatar to the end of the world.

I really want to see Rossi attack F1. I think he'd be great at it and with relatively little practice. he'd just have to learn that you can't scrub the tires to turn in F1 the way you can motoGP.

LOL, because Kimi had some bad luck, the title of Alonso was pure luck? Because that is what you kids conclude...Alonso got some races on a platter because the competition failed, but that doesn't make him lucky.

Renault did what they were supposed to do, the others couldn't step up that plate. Built a fast car which much reliability. Alonso is a very capable driver. That combination got them the titles. That has nothing to do with luck from their side.

Apart from the US where he didn't start, Canada where he retired and Monaco/Hungary where he got 4th/11th place, he was on the podium every race (15 races!). That shows consistency, even more impressive on his age. Raikonnen retired twice, did not start in the US, and got 3 bad results.
I felt he was the faster one second half of the season. But just missed the title (unfortunately, as I'm rooting for him).

But bottom line is that Alonso deserved the title and didn't get it handed on luck only.

I saw the whole last season. But unlike you I don't think like a degenerate with an ample gene-pool and actually have a fucking clue what I'm talking about. You on the other hand are kinda like the village idiot. Annoying most of the times, and seldomly anything contributing. STFU.
