    agree, the Brazil GP can be a bit boring when it's hot n sunny as overtakes are difficult. With LH starting at the back and DR spinning at the beginning putting him at the back.. it made for a lot of overtakes.

    if i'm honest.. i could have happily watched Alonso trying to get past Massa for the whole 2 hours. Alonso keeping the pressure on Massa lap after lap knowing that his chances of getting past once they both starting running out of rubber would be better, and Massa keeping him at bay even though he was struggling to turn the thing at the end there... epic.


    great way for Massa to finish his last home GP.

    one of the nicest guys to grace the sport

    it does make me chuckle that anyone can call such a spectacularly fast and reliable car... a diva.

    it might be an engineer's dream to build a perfect car that likes long straights, slow corners, fast corners, cold weather, hot weather, wet weather, high altitude, all tyre types, different driving styles, dirty air from cars in front... but in the real world, that Merc is as good a car as we've seen in a long time in racing.

    That it is & when it is on song it is a absolute joy to watch & probably drive & I'm sure Hamilton we gladly have a few off days with the car in order to experience it when everything is working on it. Though I wonder how Hamilton & Vettle would have got on if they had swapped cars.

    I also wonder what they call the McLaren behind close see doors :D

    that would be one hell of a pub conversation.

    Vettel is a great front runner, so for me it's a no brainer... he would win a lot of races.

    they probably have a few fun names for them lol

    i imagine that they are also relieved that the Mclaren Car hasn't had reliability and just 10mph more... coz Alonso would have won races in that car this year.
    all eyes on him next year.. that car should be at least as good as the Red Bulls with him in it.

    Well Alonso completes his Le Mans sports car test & is pretty damm good in it. Not that I'm surprised as right know he is probably the closest we have to a great all round sports car driver in the style of Hill, Stewart, or even Clark.

    @Grand Master Galen Marek while all your links are informative & appreciated a bit of context to them would be nice I.e what do you think about these news articles as it's a bit difficult to have a discussion with you if you are only posting links to the information without your take on it.
