| " at today's Hungarian Grand Prix after blatently holding up the FIA's favorite rookie, and reported " " Lewis Hamilton in the pits during qualifying yesterday, in a move reminiscent of Michael Schumacher's "" "The tactic visibly incensed team boss Ron Dennis, who is clean to polish McLaren's tarnished image following " ", but could be good news for engine supplier and sponsor Mercedes who has been making the most of Hamilton and Alonsos' " "I thought teammate was one word, not two. (See this blog's headline [head line?].) Maybe the headline is intended for Autoblog's Australian readers. Hey, mate?" "This seems a bit late as the race is already over. Hamilton won of course, with Alonso coming in fourth." "McLaren also had their team (not driver) points stripped for this race. Alonso seems to not be getting along with Hamilton or Dennis at all and I suspect he will want to leave the team at the end of the season." "Alonso must feel that he is two time defending world champion and should be the clear number one driver on the team. He is probably also a little paranoid that the British team is helping the British driver more." "My team mate vs. teammate comment made sense until Mr. Gardiner corrected the mistake he made in his headline. Glad I could help, Mr. Gardiner." "Anyone else find F1 to be the most boring racing going on? I can't believe this is the pinnacle of racing when whoever gets the pole almost always wins. Passing is almost non-existent, the cars seem more important than the drivers." "7 out of 11 races were won by the guy who took the pole, most races the p1-p5 finished in the top 5, many times if that wasn't true, it was because of mechanical breakdown." "To me, why even watch the race? Just watch qualifying and you'll know who's going to win unless they break something and while I'm ranting, the qualifying is a confusing mess as well. In most other bodies, you get a certain number of laps to set your qualifying time, there's no games and no BS." "This series sucks, and I really tried to like it this year but I'm taking it off of my TIVO, if I need to sleep, I'll just leave the TV off now instead of watching F1." "Before any of you start up on the redneck NASCAR thing, I don't like NASCAR either. Give me a production based car road series and I'm happy." "But you must remember F1 is a sport, not a show: the fastest qualify better, and win races." "If you prefer Nascar or one of those similar oval car-shows, filled with meaningless passings and races decided by luck and yellow flags and applauding at crashes, or with inverted starting orders, double races, ballasts and whatever, it's fine... but that's not sport." "F1 is a strategy sport, not a show: it requires some brain to understand a race." "Well, I already stated I don't like NASCAR. I agree that throwing full course yellow flags for imaginary debris is a ridiculous way to keep competition close." "I also understand that F1 is about the teams, technology, and strategy but still hold that the races are boring, these guys don't need to run into eachother for it to be interesting but to watch these guys out there just running laps is not worth my time." "At least in other forms of road racing, the competitors are pushing eachother- and yes, sometimes to the point of contact but that isn't what I find appealing." "What further takes from the "sport" is all the drama behind the scenes, teammates not liking eachother and holding the other up, team owners physically assaulting (even if that word is a little ... read the whole article |
