Just to defend alonso... how close would you like to get to winning a championship to allow a guy to be a bit frustrated in the immediate aftermath?! Not saying he did the right thing but... certainly no worse than that time St Jon was caught flipping the birdie at a football match a few years back. It's sport, it's a competition, if you don't want to win you shouldn't be in it.

That said, congrats to seb. I wanted him to take it last year and as much as I file myself in with the Tifosi it's hard not to appreciate his driving (especially when he ploughs into his teammate )

Am still divided over Alonso. He is in a Ferrari which makes me support him and I have always liked him, esp in 2007. But I still felt like this year he was in Kimi's seat
Next year I think I will personally accept him more in the Ferrari


Seen Vettel was fastest this morning in the Pirelli test and Felipe in the Ferrari in this afternoons.

It can't be that long to testing can it?
Am not sure I can wait until Bahrain.

Hardly a substitute for the real thing but i've got the F1 2010 game for my ps3, so that'll keep me going for a while lol.

Watched the BBC's review of the 2010 season the other day, couldn't believe how much i'd forgotten about from early on in the season!

It becomes a lot easier if you turn fuel and tyre sim off. I was struggling in my Virgin until I switched them off, and won the title and got a Red Bull contract. So see if they are switched on and it should be more of a challenge.
Lucas Di Grassi is terrible though!

Yeah, Di Grassi is dreadful, no chance of winning the constructors title with him in your team!

Will need to have a go with the fuel and tyre sims on. How do these work on 20% races?

Saying that, i've just got Gran Turismo 5, so thats gonna eat up a lot of time just now lol
