Jesus, and all because earlier in the season people said something very simple, me included, that a couple DNF's for Alonso to keep the title race going till the last race or two... was automatically interpretted as wanted someone to crash and them to get injured.
Its funny because the people that keep bringing up crashes and death... is basically the same 1-2 people.
If people REALLY can't understand that at a time that Alonso had a monumental lead.... that people didn't want him to increase the gap, because that would mean a title over well before the end of the season..... people are intentionally misreading what people are saying, or simply stupid.
No one wanted Alonso injured, and I don't remember anyone saying they wanted Alonso taken out, just DNF's which can be for a variety of things.
Also lets get a grip, just about every single race weekend I can ever think of, there have been shunts and crashes, how often do drivers die as a result of a little wing contact and a puncture? Its a dangerous sport, several people who have died have done so as the result of failure, not contact, a crash in F1 isn't even close to linked to the idea of deaths. If there are 100 contacts every season, and no deaths in a decade, what does that say about crashes.
Not a single person here(except those willfully misinterpretting things) believes a crash automatically means a death, or an injury, so stop bringing it up and suggesting they are, its dumb.
Also Sparky, come on, for the love of god, do we really need another argument about why people think Alonso deserves it more, there is a CAR and there is a DRIVER, a driver is a person and the vast majority of seemingly the worlds population of racing fans, believe Alonso has been the superior driver.
The Red Bull CAR, and TEAM deserve it more than Ferrari.... Alonso deserves it more than Vettel.... the finger really doesn't help..... at all.
Personally I don't think Alonso has been brilliant this year, I don't think Vettel has been brilliant this year, I DON'T THINK HAMILITON has been brilliant this year. I think they've all had an absolutely excellent drive or two, I think by and large the wins have been a clear winning car that poles to win without issue, or someone who wins because the car infront failed. Theres been very few "epic" drives out of anyone, certainly no driver has put in 10+ epic drives throughout the season. I personally think Hamilton has been the best of them this year, in what could have been the best car but for reliability, I think Alonso has been in there whenever he could and I think Vettel has had the most consistently brilliant car and done very little in most races.
I don't undervalue not making mistakes and putting in a qualy lap and 50-70 laps without major incident... but epic/brilliant and simply whats expected are too often confused, certainly this year.
