it was pretty boaring until the pits IMO... but the camera work, and directors did a superb job following where the action was... possibly the best all year so far 
it was great to hear the TV crew all being so suprized at the extra laps MS ran after Alonso pitted. classic! and 2 seconds faster in his out-lap :shock: that is MS in true form!
somebody on tv mentioned the Renault is the best chassis... but still, the Ferrari had the fastest lap of the race  nearly a 1:31 on old tires! that slow down was a little strange, but definatley good to see that was temporary... perhaps a mental game against Alanso.
on the podium, i could hardly believe how pissed Alonso looked, and it was Massa had quite some excitement too.
did anybody else notice when the chief race engineer(?) for Ferrari went to step on the top of the podium, Alonso was there, and shued him away?  he really seemed like a sore loser... and i think worried Michael will take Spain too, especially on a new engine! Kudos Ferrari!
on a side note, it was good to see Kimi near podium possition setting qutie a few fast laps to get up there... its disappointing to see that it slowed down when low on fuel... mabey it was traffic.
|
Yeah, I agree... it reminds me of the 2004 season where MS won about 3x as many races than anyone else, yet because of the slow start to his season, he barely nudged out Kimmi in the last race...
|
um... last time i checked, Shumi won 2004 by leaps and bounts in both points, and wins by 63 pts. over Jenson; and 34 pts. over Rubens...

great race, the succesion of Schumi's fastest laps was impressive...
Alonso's face at the podium was priceless, hahaha
Massa finally to the podium, and he did and nice race...

I saw , but I want to beleive that Alonso didn`t pushed him away (although that was Ross Brawn - and thx to him Schumi won the race )
Maybe Alonso congratulated him by putting his hand on Brawn`s chest

it didn't look like a 'congratulations' to me... more like he "deserved podium" and he was definately telling brawn to move asside. true colors of the races 1rst loser
last year was a humbling experience for Michael; where he quite appreciates even podiums... let alone 1rst... he seems different then in 2004.

you are taking too many assumptions
just think of it as a lucky draw and let it all go .... ....

I'll say this about Alonso
He is definately spoiled.
He is definately fast... just look at the times comparison between him and Fisi... and also against Truli in the past.
He isn't a good sport
But he is calm on the track
He is no Senna, Fitipaldi, Mansel, Schumacher, Prost, Haikonnen, Raikonnen, Schekter, Stuart, Andtretti, Lauda, Bellof, Ickx, Brabham, Ascari, etc.
but he is an extraordinary driver... but pushing the limit of the car doesn't seem to be what he does.

lol ....
ronin .... the things that you hate about alonso took him to the top .... you are just haunting yourself
and imo both the cars have same specs .. there is NO better car .... the real difference comes in the settings ... every driver likes it his way .... and well .. alonso is just very good at it ....

When Alonso did push the car, he gets huge understeer like in Imola...but that could have just been from following Schumi too close and losing downforce on his wing.
But yea, Alonso is an A-hole like Ronin said...flip flopper
Ferrari is finally back on track, Imola is not a fluke and its 2k4 all over again. The way I like it
