Raikkonen, Alonso

Formula One

comment on the article

I think Lewis used his tyres to much when the track was drying. I think Kimi thought if it starts raining again his tyres will be warn so he protected his and so did Alonso. Thats why Kimi was so much faster when it started raining. What do you think Experience won that race?

We Know Lewis is good in the wet but if it stays wet, and the dry if it stay dry. But changeable races that spring to mind this year Europe and china Lewis made errors.

Is a disgrace that PAPI Roni and the team do and say.Apparently Ron Dennis said after the race something along the lines of ,”We were not racing Raikkonen, we were racing Alonso.”
As Alonso is actually in a McLaren too this is a terrible Freudian slip and shows where loyalties lie. It's a disgrace. I wish Raikkonen wins.

Fernado should have relized that Mclaren does not favour any of its drivers until one is mathamatically not able to win the championship. That is why Senna and Prost were allow to fight tooth and nail. FA has not been ahead of LH in the points since Monaco!

It is not suprizing if RD does not share a universal love of FA. If one of your employees tried to blackmail you and had cost your company $100 Million, would you particulary care if he would be WC over the driver who is almost part of your family.

Alonso has acted badly at Mclaren . Prost was sacked by Ferrari for less..

I can't for the life of me understand what was going thru the minds of the McClaren team garage! As soon as kimi overtook Lewis, it was obv time to come in!! To leave him out there with bald tires, losing 7 secs per lap to everyone around him was complete madness! Even if he'd come in for a new set of intermediates, and had to do a third stop for slicks he would have been better off! He needed only 9 points from two races to win the championship, that's a 4th and 5th. The worst he would have got from that position was 4th leaving him to need only 5th in the final race! All those wise heads and yrs of experience in that team ought to have been able to work that out!!
If he fails to win the Championship now, and it's a real possibility with the shift in the psychological balance, the team will only have themselves to blame! And what a shame that'll be for the young lad who has astounded everyone this season!
The best of luck to you Lewis you can still do it, if you keep a cool head winkeye

Mclaren was definatly at fault, it was absolutly stupid that he was kept out on track when the whole world could see on TV that his tyre was gone.

Having said that, im confident Lewis will still win the championship. If brazil is a ferrari, or mclaren track, there is a high probability that it will be a 1-2 for whichever team, and if that happens, lewis would still be champion regardless if he wins or not.

Mediocre Ron Dennis, team director is provoking a total disaster in his team. Its impossible to do it worst, he s the best Ferrari s tifossi... I think that he s deceiving us like children... Isn t enough to gift the constructors title... now he s preparing for Ferrari s Raikonnen the driver s championship, or even for Alonso, his demoniacal enemy, who is really prepared to win it..Dont forget that Alonso is more psycologically stiffness and hard than both, the poor LH and RD... Bet for Alonso like me, and we will earn a lot of money thanks to Ronni, the stubborn and looser team director!!!!Im waiting anxiously the next astonishing race in Brazil... Cu boys

AlberRat dont worry and don t judge about FA, double world champion, be happy!!!! Why do you say that he had acted badly with RD. Do you remember the horrible performance of the last years in MC Laren?? What a coincidence.. this year the mediocre racing team is improving his performance with the FA arriving... Did u think by chance in this possibility?? Bet for FA and u will nt be wrong in your choice!!!

I hope Fernando goes back to Renault next year (with or without the championship) so we can see how the two teams fair.

So many think McLaren are mainly successful because of his input. Surely the car was up and running and fundamentaly finished by the time Alonso gave his input.

I want to see Renault fighting it out again - but I hope FA has a better team mate than Fisichella, although FA is 'happy' with him... we all know why now.

Are there any winners in this sport apart from Bernie ?
I can just hear him whisper in Ron's ear: "I'll pay half your fine if you'd manage to take it to final race". Money talks !
Mercedes (and Banco Santander) have put their money on Fernando (of course)... if Lewis wins Fernado will stay, if Fernado wins, Fernando will stay too (he has a rock solid contract and everybody needs him ... he knows that and so does his manager !).
Only thing that can be nasty if it is proven that on the list of Dr. Fuentes (yes that Dr.), the AF on his list stands for Fernando Alonso ...
We aint seen nothing yet people ! We are in for a lot of fun, now, and next year exactly how Bernie planned it !

so LH is winning in a crap car and no luck? You talk of blackmail, yet somehow leveling the preferencial treatment is a bad thing? the simple reason that you dont like FA is because he is spanish and LH is english, and thats fair enough without needing a " reason " that makes you feel happy and sound gracious.
