i'm going to watch it just to see how the great Alonso spun his car at Rivage,on first of the hot laps in Q3.

Its a 2nd gear right hander wide 180 deg turn.

Ferrari seem to have a slight edge over Mclaren this weekend. For once, Kimi kicked Massa in qualifying. He will be looking for third consecutive victory at this legendary circuit. Expect Lewis and Alonso to be at each others throats. (atleast on track) Exciting weekend this.

I hope Fonso is given the best of support from his team in spite of all the problems revolving him. Hope Mclaren doesn't shower all the frustration on him.

There is a general feeling (amongst other F1 communities) that the Ferraris are lightly fuelled. I doubt it because their car suites this circuit, and Kimi has won the last 2 GPs at SPA comfortably. He goes like a dream on this circuit.
Lets see what McLaren pull out of their bag this time.

A brilliant Ferrari 1-2.I think i heard somewhere that Ferrari were badly losing this year and needed the FIA to win........

LandCruiser · 16th September 2007, 19:08

Congratulations Ferrari....!!!

Alonso is the saint of F1!!

Yes, I guess the team did there best to support Alonso. And he did every thing he could to push his own team mate out of the track. I just don't have words for Mr. Alonso.

Alonso even had the nerve to go on and say in the post race that he was left with no space as massa ran close to him !

Fitting reply from Ferrari after being beaten square last week in Monza. Kimi was a bit more animated than usual after victory. His love affair with Spa continues, if only he can be a bit more consistent.

This man Alonso, he makes me laugh...

finneyp · 16th September 2007, 20:40

Hurray, a perfect 1 - 2 win by Ferrari, closely followed by McFerrari 3 - 4!
