I think he was thinking right.

Alonso can run the other 4 for the title. Massa cant. 99% of people would of made the same call in stefanos position (even EJ the plonker). Its easy to sit and watch a race and complain coz the likeable guy got a raw deal!

That to be quite frank isn't the point :no:

If they've got a rule about team orders the powers that be should enforce it

Alonso acted like a spoilt brat when he and Massa nearly came together, just because he didn't manage to get past him - talk about throwing your dummy out And when he did have a chance to go past 'legally' he couldn't manage it

I personally feel gutted for Massa, and hope to goodness that Alonso fails miserably in winning the Drivers' Championship overall

What a boring circuit now the loop through the woods has been chopped.

Its been Ecclestoned. Like all the circuits have now.

All grandstand's, TV coverage and Coronation street style reportage of off-circuit intrigues - definately for the plebes.

Nick

Yes, they do have a rule and its been overlooked ever since it was introduced. This isnt the first time its happned. Didnt BMW ask Nick to move over for Kubica a few years back? and i remember hearing many other X driver is quicker messages to. (followed by an overtake)

Plus the fact drivers are constantly told not to menace the guy in the front and hold formation till the end. How is that different?

I think Alonso's problem was he was considerably quicker and wanted to get on with things, plus his titile position means he needed the points a lot more than Massa. I thnk people are being a bit contrived critisizing Alonso or Stefano. Id of done the same as both (if i was half and clever and good as them of course!) and i think in the same postions pretty much all there critics would to.

Well said sir, well said.

A lot of motor racing fans seem to have forgot Heiki having to yield for Lewis at the very same corner only two seasons ago, not a peep about that one.

Another stunning drive by Vettel, he only managed to hit 2 cars today.

What an absolute **** - it's one thing if he wants to f*ck his own season up, but to stuff Button's as well is completely out of order :S

I hope the officials do some proper punishment to Vettel after what he did to Button. He full well knew what he was doing trying to knock Button off aswell.

I think he should be banned from racing.........at least untill he has finshed his GCSE's.

Vettels' problem is that he really wants to win the championship this year, because next year the Red Bull might not have an advantage. What Red Bull should do is to sit him down and explain the 'percentage game' Apart from robbing Jenson of 18 points on Sunday, he was running 3rd for 15 points. At Silverstone he tried to win the race at the first corner and came off worse, finishing with 6 points when he would have finished at least 2nd for 18 points. In Turkey again he was on for at least 18 points when he hit Webber.

So in those 3 races he has thrown away at least 45 points and to compound his problem those points have been picked up by Webber, Hamilton & Button.

Vettel is 31 points behind the Leader Hamilton, so 45 points would have put him in the lead.

Vettel will be world champion one day, but he has to learn that finishing second or third is OK rather than crashing out with no points.

I think he should be called before the Stewards before the Monza race in 2 weeks time and be shown all his mistakes so far and be warned of a 10 place grid drop if he punts anyone off during the race.

If the Belguim GP had ended Hamilton, Button, Vettel, Webber the Championship would be:

Hamilton 182

Webber 173

Vettel 166

Button 165

Because of his poor driving the championship is

Hamilton 182

Webber179

Vettel 151

Button 147

I think Jenson is the biggest loser at the end of the day :(
