I was just about to say the same thing before I even saw your post.
Who can I address the muffin basket to?
ps3ud0
why? because he didnt agree with everyone else on hamilton?
(ps i have no idea what the real offence was....)
Oh thank the lord for that, he was on ignore anyway, but people kept damn well quoting him!
And as for Hammy watching unsavoury movies, why would he do that when he has a real life pussycat doll at home!
Which is exactly why it WASNT necessary for Alonso to do anything, Dennis was obviously very angry and would have done what was necessary to make sure that kind of thing never happened again, but Alonso had to take it into his own hands and become as petty as LH was in that incident
LH had been getting the better of Alonso all season completely fairly, he should have been used to it by the time of this incident
Read my first sentence - I quite clearly am not defending LH's actions on that day, but FA should have left it in the hands of RD (after all FA blocking LH only made RD even more angry of which some was rightly directed at FA - which would have been the opposite if he had stayed completely out of it.
He has never been sacked from a team before either, never been routinely humiliated by a rookie - both of which happened last year
(legally maybe he wasnt sacked, but effectively thats what it was)
LH is not mentally weak in any way shape or form, yes occasioanlly he makes a mistake (but the god-like FA never does that of course)
Maybe at the beginning of the season that MIGHT be a valid comparison, but LH doesnt need to fight Alonso anyway (at worst with FA infront of him , LH is fourth - as Trulli wont be able to run at the front for long) - and Alonso cant try and force LH backwards by going slow without risking being blitzed at a pitstop and being made to look stupid (wouldnt be the first time)
"Sorry Mr Steward, my front wing end plate caught his tyre mid turn, there was nothing I could do"
Stewards could easily classify anything as a racing incident - Especially because Alonso hasnt done anything particularly bad before
As Ive stated many times before, the only reason MS had his points taken away in 97 was because of 94 (or certainly that in no way helped the situation), without 94 I honestly dont think the FA would have done anything apart from a slap on the wrist (as JV continued anyway and MS ended up beached)
LH doesnt need to worry about Trulli, by the first pit stop (which HAS to be majorly early for Toyota to get Trulli there anyway) he -Trulli- will be out of the reckoning
Even if FA does get past the two McLarens - he HAS to race at full pace rather than try and edge LH backwards without risking being blitzed at a pitstop, not to mention that the McLaren is -with equal fuel loads - a little bit faster and more efficient than the Renault, which probably means over that last third of the track , going up the hill to the finish and to the first corner LH should be able to be faster if he can get up close to Alonso to follow him thru the preceeding corner
If its a clear race or has light rain then the Ferrari's should be ok and will race into a one - two , if its heavy rain then the red cars dont stand a chance and LH will blitz them, along with the rest of the field

Oh but he does. Trulli will almost certainly be an impingement on Hamiltons race in the early part backing him into the field, which could make the likelihood of contact between him and other cars around all the more likely.

Check that, even Nelson Piquet Snr said that he thinks Hamilton wont make it past the first corner because there are many drivers around him who dont like him.
On another note. The most expnensive 0.15 seconds for Mclaren. Cost them $7million!
Yes yes but why?
# Ferrari use their light system pitstop system
Aaaaarrgghhhh!!! I want to type things but I dont want to be humorous and then jinx things for Lewis!
Hamilton will win if
# It rains heavy
# A bit of light drizzle
# Ferrari use their light system pitstop system
Oh yea? Beat this
Massa will be world champion if:
# Hamilton misses the red light
# Hamilton ploughs into the back of Raikonnen in the pits
# Hamilton ploughs into the back of Alonso on track
It's ok I've got my lucky t-shirt on - nothing to worry about
Ooooooh good plan, will put mine on when I get back from the shops later. There will be blood spilt if my Mum doesnt have me back from our shopping trip by 4pm.
