Is he the best driver at the moment or he is driving the fastest car right now?

It was Alonso the best driver out there when the season started or perhaps he was driving the fastest car...?

I mean, the drivers are not as good as at the beginning of the year?

Why do we belive a driver is good only because of absolute results?

Alonso will probably win the champ without the fastest car since 4th race of the season so this deserves some credit...

Well I suppose then it comes down to opinion. Kimi has impressed me most this year.

But then Alonso hasn't had any reason to show his performance lately, he's just playing the percentage game because he can and doesn't need to take any risks, so he appears slower.

Kimi seems to be impressing us more because he has to drive 100% every race.

if the 2 drivers were in each others circumstance, with Kimi leading all year and driving conservatively, with Alonso driving his balls off every race and getting bad reliability and losing races he should have won, I'm sure we'd all be saying that he deserved to win the title.

and about the JPM/Pizza accident, on Skytext Ron Dennis said that Pizza waved JPm by at the previous corner to lap him, and then tried to unlap himself at the very next corner. but silly of Pizza if thats the case.

The lapped drivers issue is weird.

Webber tried to unlap himself in Turkey taking Schumy out of the track (I think). Pizzonia take Montoya out and Klien was close to do that to Alonso...

Shouldn't they be advice somehow?

If they are faster there should be a "new flag" (:-P) to advice the situation.

If I were Montoya I would be very upset because perhaps he hit Pizzonia, but he was a complete lap ahead! The other driver should be aware of that.

its impossible to say whos best.
for me kimi is about the only impressive driver this year.
DC and heidfeld were good early, and trulli can impress at times but theres not much else to get excited about.

and the champion is he who scores most points. alonso has done 'nothing' this year because the better team keeps breaking, and the next best is a long way behind, so maybe he is giving 100% every race or maybe he's giving a lot less - who knows.
with any luck next years mclaren will be more reliable and alonso will be pushed a bit more

I think if Pizzonia came from nowhere and caught JPM and the tried to pass, you could say it was 50/50 to place the blame/fault, but if Pizza waved JPM past at 1 corner, then immediately tried to get past him again at the next corner, I would place more blame at Pizza. without full video footage of the whole lap to see from where Pizza came, we can't be sure.

@ LS, yeah, something MS did 13 years ago means he can't say anything about something that happened today.

Yeah see thats the excuse Schumacher fans always use. But for someone whos made a career out of dangerous driving and punting others off the track he is in NO position to critisize Sato for a mistake

Following that logic the next one on the list should be Raikkonen.

Why tripleM? I can't remember Räikkönen taking others out on purpose. My memory can sometimes be a little short though.

Sorry First
I don't clear the message that I wrote another message

When I watched the race
A lot of drivers did tyres changing and refuel at the same time
Why they haven't get any penalty?

I thought you were referring to the accident as sort of a payback for what happened in Suzuka 2 years ago.

Raikkonen and Sato also had their coming together,in Monza a few years back.

Schumacher was to blame for all of those? :-o :-o :-o

Some of the choices seem to go by the modus operandi of it being Schumacher's fault just because he was involved regardless.

Such as? (I didnt suggest all of these, but some of the guys insisted on them being put in)
