    Youngest ever pole sitter and race winner (and he lapped Shumi for good measure!) Well done.

    Mike.

    Yeah on both counts, its going to be nip and tuck right to the end methinks....as for that engine package how many Cossies blew this week? 6/7? Something like that in total.

    Yep, well done to Alonso. I've become a big fan of his.

    What about Barrichello, will he ever get rid of that label of, "The unluckiest man in F1."

    Yep indeed great win by Alonso,hes a great talent,young,and a very likeable person also unlike a certain German who got lapped by Fernando today :)
    What a season its turning into, i still back Montoya though but it will be close.
    Again Congrats to a wonderful talent on his win today.

    It's fantastic to see Alonso win today, and win so stylishly. And to be on the podium with Kimi and JPM is fantastic, what a show for the younger drivers!!

    well done Alonso great drive...a champion in waiting no doubt about it...but what if schu had won the race in the style as Alonso did?everybody would have said another boring michael drive which i think is a bit unfare on the most successful and one of the best drivers of all time...which i think is just something people should think about....

    its all relative though its just because alonso has never done that before we consider it better, as it was i'd have to say it wasn't a fantastic race for victory though the race for the other places was good, probably one of the best results we could have had for the championship and i'm glad alonso won it fair play to him.

    i don't see any reason though why he has to go to ferrari i hope he never makes a good ferrari driver.

    Alonso should'nt need to join any other team, he is Renaults star
    and can have the whole team built around him if his cureent form continues into next year. Anyway the cars getting better and better the only thing it lacks is outright power and that'll come.

    Mike.

    Alonzo has come a long way from Minardi.
    And quickly too. (Even when he was with them he was amazing considering the wheels he had beneath his arse)

    No doubt other teams are sniffing him out and if they're not
    they bloody well should be!

    Although I think Mike's right.
    Renault should hold onto him, with everything they got.

    In fact I must say Renault have come on a lot themselves.
    It wasn't so long ago when they were one of the slowest cars out there.

    Remember, Flavio got rid of Schumi didn't he.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,560 ✭✭✭Woden


    and he swapped fisi for trulli IIRC i never really understood the wisdom of that decision


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 175 ✭✭napalm@night


    Flavio never got rid of schumi in fact he wanted to keep him but schumi wanted to move on....plus alonso is on a long term reno contract never mind the fact that he is manged by Flavio himself!so for the time being both futures of reno and alonso are connected to the man who came from being a manger selling jumpers..:)
