I think its the other way around.Alonso blamed Massa.Refer the links in the previous posts.

Yes and Alonso apologized to Massa in the conference...

Everytime there is rain the race becomes very intersting... If that is the case then FIA should install sprinklers around every track and have a computer to turn it on/off randomly at every race. It will make some very boooring tracks exciting and all races unpredictable... Then we may even see a Skyper or an Aguri on the podium

. I still remember the Hungarian GP last year, which was won by Button... and it was all due to rain! If FIA wants to make racing interesting, they have a clear solution in front of them!

but today for a change I was hoping he wud turn around and give Massa one tight japaat --

Buddy, Alonso was too fast, he made a move on Massa at a unexpected place, obviously Massa was not expecting Alonso to make a move there and it was pouring and he could not see a thing in the rear view mirrors, so Massa didnot do it intentional.

And respect Shumi he is the greatest F1 drives that was, is and will always be, PERIOD.

Thanks for the correction.

turbo_v12 · 23rd July 2007, 09:57

We did see Massa's front tyre marks on the side of Alonso's car...so we know who was in front...

Alonso, in the heat of the moment must have said that stuff to Massa (coz it's not the 1st time the latter's doing it), but for all you people who raised fingers on Alonso's behaviour last year - well - we saw who displayed self control here. What would you Ferrari fans have said if the situation was reversed?

It's pretty much like the Rossi v/s Biaggi dogfight where Rossi(Alonso) kept quiet and behaved himself after the race in front of the media, but Biaggi(Massa) was publically as loud mouthed as could be.

Was an excellent race. Got to watch it in bits and pieces, which is a pity really.
Alonso once again proved that he is the undisputed rain master, and special mention of DC and Wuz who drove an excellent race in their own capacity, though I feel that had Nico carried on, he would have been on the podium.

F50 · 24th July 2007, 22:20

It was really one of the most exciting race. Many moments were extremely funny like V'tonio Liuzzi spinning and almost hitting the crane, Kimi missing the lane, car park at Turn 1 etc.
The result was not great but cant complain....

The most interesting thing was the rain prediction flashing on screen and it was DAMN accurate! 3 mins and 12 mins was spot on.

theMAG · 2nd August 2007, 21:26

Either a F-M-M or a M-F-M

watfor · 3rd August 2007, 16:10

A high downforce circuit with only one overtaking opportunity at the first corner..If Monoco was anything to go by.. Mclaren again.. Fons n Hamilton on top of the Podium .. Raikonnen will hopefully be around to throw a few surprises.

RishiSuri · 3rd August 2007, 17:21

Kimmi would be on fire.. He gonna blast out.. Hope that Ferrari give him a reliable car this time.

Rtech · 3rd August 2007, 17:29

One of the most boring tracks on the calendar. Lets hope the weather livens things up for us.
