Kinda hope Alonso has a poor race

Mr Men said:
Just shows how worried they are that Lewis or Jenson can't do it on the track himself, it's a massive compliment to Alonso that they are wishing for him to not finish. It also shows how unsporting many real fans are on here

If it was people saying it about Lewis/Jenson it would be considered trolling by the same people

Trolling attempt denied. Good try though.

A Jenson win and Alonso DNF please!

I must be seeing things again

maybe you and Duke have selective vision?

Skeeter · 20 Sep 2012 at 09:14

Ha.

This track sits with places like Hungary and Abu Dhabi for me, in that when playing them on games I love them, but as a show to watch they don't usually produce good races.

There are a few missed opportunities in the Singapore track where they have gone for 'oh this will be cool' rather than thinking about how it would improve racing. The poxy grandstand bit robbed the track of an originally planned good overtaking spot, and the silly little chicane, while I understand the need for it, is just pants.

one person mentioned DNF and 3 others just hope for a poor points finish :confused:

what we really hope for is perz at ferrari but i guess alonso is to scared

Mr Men · 20 Sep 2012 at 10:07

You said nobody wished DNF though, don't try and change it around

Yeah Alonso is scared just like MS was scared of Kimi.....

he got out of mclaren fast enough and he showed he cant handle pressure or a teamwork thats he has to fight against.

all his career apart from mclaren he had flavio making sure he was the one and stuck with him for along time.

whilst schumacher got away as fast as he could and had no problem returning to the sport on equal footing with a much younger team mate

deuse · 20 Sep 2012 at 10:26

Alonso will crash out at turn 20 or 21

Lewis for the win and vimto will blow an engine or an alternator fail...AGAIN

no doubt.

nice to see schumachers car is still bulletproof while his team mates is not

schumacher obviously has the best staff on his side of the garage to

Mr Men · 20 Sep 2012 at 11:05

If Schumi thought his side of the garage had poor staff he would have them replaced.

And the one time apart from his debut he's been on equal footing, he's lost 2 times on the trot. Interesting

yup it proves what having the most dominant car on the grid and the FIA's assistance can do for the average man on the street.

Couldn't agree more, the cars do look fantastic under the lighting though.

F1 Racings Global Fan Community Survey this month is on driving standards and those god aweful podium interviews.

Go fill it in! Be interesting to see just how many people think those podium interviews are anything other than utterly cringe worthy.

Kevin Clark · 20 Sep 2012 at 12:42

The detection point for the DRS zone is 230m before T5, with the activation point located 35m after the apex of the corner.

Is that any change from last year?

Done!

Not sure about the question of the FIA being harsher on bad driving, I'd just like to see some consistency!
