I find it very strange that the two teams Alonso has driven for recently, ie, McLaren and Renault have both been in the centre of bad press whilst he has been there. :undecided:

That would be sooooo good!

I liked the Force India Technical Director after last weeks race:

"This wasn't a fluke, expect to see us right at the front of the grid from now on...."

Yeah alright mate, if you insist.  :rolleyes:

ummm oh oh...

The car is quick, but not as quick as people are making out. there still only midfield at best.

the car was very fast at spa, and will be in monza, because all the aero on that car is all set up for low downforce, whereas the cars with alot of downforce such as the brawns struggled to get the setup.

So could have got poll without a slight mistake today, you said you'd thought they'd still be quick at Monza and they are. Interesting to see the race tomorrow and how the FI's do.

I still think they'll be running top of the field for the rest of the season, the car looks in brilliant shape.

Ross Braun summed it up quite well i think at the end of the race.. main KERS threat are in front of him, button and bari both on a single stop strategy, so is Kovi though, so looking like it could set out to be a good race.. if Hami gets a good launch, him and Raki will f**k off into the distance.. and have to try and make up 20 odd seconds on 4/5/6 who are running a single stop.. i think that Sutil will drop down to 8th if he cant keep up with the ferrari and the mclaren over the distance..as Ross said.. lots of run off at 1st corner.. means everyone should get through ok.. should make for an interesting race.. especially if kovi end ups holding up bari and button...

Just like valencia, mclaren have it in the bag if they want the win. Heikki is in the best position if he is indeed one stopping, he has a good car and kers. So he is probably best place for the win, or if mclaren dont trust that he will run a faultess race (which so far he hasnt managed to do) he can be used to slow the pack up while the 3 at the front race off, which will give hamilton the best chance, aswell this way, force indian have a great chance of podium again. I supose it rests on how much hamilton meant that he is still going to try for championship success, or if it was tongue in cheek!
