If people think this wasn't a boring race, I can only conclude that the standards these days are very low.

for some reason it didnt tape.
hmm
by the sounds of it, prob a good job too.
noticeable performances by Sutil and Rosberg.

Rosberg is quick becoming a favourite of mine! last year i didnt think much to him because he had an awesome debut, but then thats it.. this year he has shown an amazing improvment

What Nico had last year was speed but not consistency. He has both this year and i hope Williams can give him a more competetive car for next season.

yeah but let's wait and see...Fernando will most likely leave McLaren after this season,it seems very sure at the moment even if his manager told other way.so Nico could end up driving McLaren next year and to be honest I think Nico is as good as Lewis is.

Nico has ruled himself out even if a McLaren slot came up - but then this is F1...

I agree with you, but, if Alonso leaves McLaren, In wich team he will run in 2008?

Rosberg is just as good as Hamilton. And Williams is performing strongly. I think they have the same pace as Renault. They could be better next year if they get rid of Wurz.

If they drop Wurz, Williams might become worse. Wurz has a vast technical knowledge.

Indeed, he hasnt been what I had hoped for this season

But yeah like Nick says he has a huge amount of knowledge, but then again, so does Nico

Havent seen the move but hard to comment on, but from what ive hear it was fair, and a very good one... it looks like me like he can see his dream slowly slipping away... if Lewis was in Alonso's posistion would he not have done the same?

was a boring race at the front, but some good battles behind. glad for Kimi, Massa will surely have to help him now, but maybe if he can't win the title for himself (Massa), he won't mind too much if a McLaren driver wins it so won't help Kimi too much?

> Bloody ITV! no hamilton and no conference...

eh? i'm sure i saw the press conference with Kimi, Felipe and Fernando. they got Lewis' views too.

at the start it looked like Lewis' front-right tyre may have just slightly touched Alonso's car, but maybe it was just very close and they didn't actually touch, Alonso didn't think they touched.

great racing down to Eau Rouge, Alonso has big balls, i'll give him that. Lewis had to back out.

good driving from Sutil early on, and LMAO at Honda, Sato overtaking Button...

who knows what will happen in the last 3 races, Blundell reckons Fuji and China should favour Ferrari, so Kimi will need to win both races, and hope Lewis and Alonso retire from at least 1 of those 2 races each. then it could go either way in Brazil in terms of which team has the advantage.

and the ITV news made a too much of Lewis' little off at Pouhon, saying the pressure was now getting to him. nah, it was just one of those things, car oversteered a bit and he had to correct it which made him go off.

they also reported his 4th place finish as if it was a disaster. he only started 4th anyway, so it was a solid finish, if unspectacular. it wasn't as if he started on pole and dropped down to 4th. he looked the 4th fastest of the top 4 drivers all weekend anyway.

Alonso was on the inside and Hamilton on the outside, and Alonso squeezed him off the track, on the tarmac strip. Hamilton came back alongside Alonso running into Eau Rouge, but backed off halfway. I think it wasn't that unfair. If Hamilton had missed 3rd place by a second, then yes, he could complain, but he didn't so he shouldn't complain.

it was hard but fair. Alonso took the optimal line by accelerating and going wide out of T1. just because it was his teammate, he doesn't have to make life easier for him.

Like Brundle said, if it had been the driver of a different team instead of Lewis, no one would have seen anything wrong with what Alonso did.

Was Sato not light on fuel... because he had to stop again whilst Button did not

Well today everything went good for ferrari...atleast kimi gained some ground in the wc...

Race. boring like in monza...well in monza there was a good moment...the duel between kimi and lewis....but here only good duel to watch was the one between sutil and dc, and kubica chasing others...

yes, it's getting annoying that a lot of people are loking to much into Alonso's behaviour, in fact Heikke did the same to Webber and nothing happened..., and it also didn't help that Lewis complained, but i think it was more down to seeing Alonso is getting the best out of him than the move itself

i think it was the bump that caused Alonso to spin in qualli, not just a normal mistake by him. Brundle commented that the bump gets worse and worse every year, just after we saw Ralf's car bounce up and down on it quite dramatically, we also saw it from an onboard from the car in front looking back at Ralf.
