Disapointing weekend for Alpha i fear, for me too in testing. Hopefully we can turn this round pretty promptlyby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4

Just posting to apologise for my enforced inactivity (no internet for weeks, and then the past 2 working on my dissertation and having no time for anything), now feeling like i have let down Alpha. I will now move my focus onto progressing in the testers rating and hope to be successful again. Good too see the series still going so strong =] Benby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4

Annoyed again, but i can hope for the new season really want to be pushing into that top 10 in qualifying consistently, hope this race will go wellby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4

So disapointed, running strong in 7th and a wheel just happened to fall off.... I blame those Renault wheels nuts we imported for this race. Nevermind!by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Firstly thanks to SchueyFan for his continued support of Alphas drivers. Uncertainty for our future as drivers causes bad performances, so lets hope for more wins next year than our first this year. The team has done well, and i am very happy with todays qualifying result.... Really hope the end of the season is successful!!by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Personally think the rules are fair on warnings. As a driver if you cant be bothered to read email or check the site then replace the driver with someone that can be bothered to sign in and get involved =] We all have connection issues and sometimes cant get on for a while, but as long as stewards are open to that fact then i think the current rules workby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Could have been worse i guess, 14th means a good chance of getting most places gained (blatant hoping)by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Come on ALpha!!!by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Good to be at another real race track. Really looking forward to this one, and the classic GPs on BBC are as great as ever. 2003, Webber hitting the wall, then Alonso pushing through the yellow flag hitting debris? If thats the one am thinking of there were so many good overtakes and action in that race its shocking its not included!by Shinnbob - F1
So if the option came up and Button left Brawn due to lack of money (which is the only real reason for leaving i feel) sure Frank Williams would take Jenson or Rubens any day. But shush from me :Pby Shinnbob - F1
Still crying over spilt milk if you ask meby Shinnbob - F1
Well, lets look at the positives: May be good overtaking.... maybe... Great facilities, looks like a nice setting. Pitlane is unique, and i really like it Bad Points: Just sparse, looks tedious No true, inspiring fast corners Too twisty, and perfectly surfaced...new F1 cars wont see a challenge here unless the dust effects the cars, or it rains....by Shinnbob - F1
Am so happy for Alphas first ever win. We have come such a long way!! Great coverage again, didnt pick up how i fell to the back of the field, but it was a great race for the team so am happy all the sameby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Looking forward to this race, good to be back in the UK :Dby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Anyone else not suprised? Should really show us if Rossberg has the skills to win in a competitive car. From what i have seen he has beaten Nakajima this season in results by a long way... and whether thatss because Nakajima is poor, or the car is poor and Rossberg is amazing we dont know. Anyway at least Rubens gets a nother year in F1, and Williams may be even more competitive next yearby Shinnbob - F1
I like Timo, good racer, aggressive and really goes for it. If anything i would think Trulli would be out of a job, i mean what has the mobile chicane done in the last year? If Glock did leave then to BMW? Any of the new teams would snap him up if noone else wanted him am sureby Shinnbob - F1
That surface really looks fantastic doesn't it, and its great to be back such a fantastic track. While Fuji held its own challenges it was nothing compared to Suzuka. And with the older tracks now getting upgraded to give drivers these run off areas it was to be expected that Suzuka would suffer the same fate.... I miss drivers pushing right on the edge - one mistake and you are in the grby Shinnbob - F1
Undeserving WC? Firstly i must address that. Hes won 6 races, 4 more this season than anyone else, i would say thats not undeserving, thats more than many other champions have won in a season. Also i would have to say Jenson's performances haven't dropped up as such its simply to do with the field bunching up in raw pace in the car. Before it was Brawn vs Red Bull - and Button dominaby Shinnbob - F1
Poor race for moi but great coverage thanks!by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Good news, lets hope they can stay in F1 next yearby Shinnbob - F1
Very very happy with 4th, finally got some good luck and got my best finish in GPGSL! Hopefully the team can keep up this level performance and keep pushing towards the frontby Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Good performance for Alpha with both cars in the top ten again. Very happy Lets hope for more luck in the race this week!by Shinnbob - Grand Prix 4
Personally right now i dont think Fisi struggled as such, i do however think he is getting used to using Kers and how it effects controlling the car and its handling. Massa and Kimi said earlier in the season how different it was running the car with Kers than without. Pressure aside i think Fisi did well, and i can only see him improving for the rest of the season away from the pressure of a homby Shinnbob - F1
I think the style is nice, but they are too small, and can show innapropriate data as already said in this thread. Also notice they got Fisichella and Sutils radios confused in the race? And the BBC had a good day on that tangent. Brundle did well as usual, and Legard did well too... I think they are both working well together now, and its Legard has come along well in his sommentary, somethinby Shinnbob - F1
While the entire situation seems shady to say the least if this is prooved to be true i will be very suprised. Piquet can say what he wants and claim its true, but with no actual fact i don't see this coming down at the feet of Piquet. Renault had a strong car by this point in the season, and didnt need to throw away the reputations of key staff and a major car manufacturer just to get aby Shinnbob - F1
If people dont understand how Force India are so fast atm they obviously dont watch F1. Its been obvous from other tracks how well the Force India works in a straight line with the highest top speeds at all the tracks compared to other teams. And Fisi wont be kicking himself really. Hes driving a Ferrari, at Monza, and after this race the Ferrari looks like a very strong carby Shinnbob - F1
