don't know where to start Alonso, what a driver, you give him a small little chance and he'll make it a big opportunity, great job getting there Button's been on vacation these last 15 days, what the hell happened?, that was utterly embarrasing, is he taking the Massa route? good to see Felipe doing well, and imho he was faster than Fernando, he would've gotten on theby Slash - F1

today sums up Michael season so far, quick but cirumstances outside his control have put him beyond what he's capable. that was pretty good for a mediocre driver.by Slash - F1

it's so nice to see Michael taking pole in a difficult track, with the most competitive field i've seen, the guy can compete with these ones shame about the wrong handed penalty.by Slash - F1

Schumacher dissapointed me in Spain but that was it.. he seems quicker than he's been ever since he returned, but scoring just 2 points? ok Asutralia and China were beyond his control, in Malaysia he beated Rosberg despite ending up dead last after Grosjean super smart move and in Bahrein he was handicaped due to the Qualy fiasco...

but the thing is it's not the first time they've done it, they always seem to play around with it, i think it was in 2007 or '08 that FIA introduce the "minum lap time to return to pits" rule, whatever it's called, precisely because they were returning to the pits dead slow to save fuel, and caused dangerous situation with other drivers, in Malaysia i think it was. aby Slash - F1
Mclaren been doing this for a while now and have been running away with it, remember Button in Brasil? it's the same pattern i wonder if they do this on purpose... at Istanbul 2010 i think they fuelled their cars low and drivers had to save massive ammounts of fuel during the race. after seeing Vettel and Schumacher cruise (so far no rule prevents them from doing it) i tought somebodyby Slash - F1
congrats to clown of the day Senna on the biggest contrast... holy Pastor was competitive the whole day, well done. i see Kimi as a big threat to all, he's going for the win. is it true Schumacher can start with the harder compound as he went out with them?, do the drivers that didn't post laptimes get to choose the tyres?, how does that work? is unbelievable Jenson didn't sby Slash - F1

imo, Schumacher's result have been poor down to luck rather than his driving... he was looking better than Nico in Malaysia, Australia, he was right there at the beginning of China, and he got kicked in Q1 in Bahrain which totally handicaped his race, i mean nowadays it's harder to recover lost ground due to the competitiveness of the grid. but yeah, those poor results probably have plby Slash - F1
