    Don't think so he passed Perez in the first phase and cleared Kimi comfortably afterwards think he was probably taking it easy towards the end

    Ferrari's Fernando Alonso on Twitter: "Five great races coming! If the enemy thinks in the mountains, attack by sea, if they think in the sea, attack by the mountains."


    Thinks he's Cantona now!

    Don't think so my friend! He on cleared him initially because Perez was pushed wide trying to pass Kimi and Perez passed him back and would have repassed him (after the pit phase) had he not dipped a wheel on the grass and if you call the pit exit as clearing Kimi comfortably, well....?

    The Sauber was clearly faster and arguably the Lotus was as quick, and JB, Massa and arguably Webber and Alonso were all quicker!

    You have a driver leaving... He will have s lot less input, a lot less info on development and a lot less sim time. It's how it's always been... you don't want them walking away with nuggets of info.

    I'm not saying that's why he didn't do well today, but don't expect him to be on top.

    Totally, grosjean should be expelled from f1 he is like a rookie.

    Or stick him in the marrusia and he wont be able to cause any damage.

    I hear what you say, and whilst he may be in the dark on development I think his ability will clearly see him do well in the reminding races, I also can't see Mclaren hindering him when they are desperate for the WCC, I think it's just a blip.

    Webber is lucky he didnt retire. He should sort out his starts before he starts moaning at others. I could do better starts than him.

    McLaren would be wise to let Hamilton leave with as little as possible, and they would be totally in the right to do that. This year will yield nothing so they would be smart to look forward. I'm not a conspiracy theorist. Trust me. :)

    Season ban for Romain, you heard it here first!

    He's managed to **** off Ferrari, McLaren and RBR!

    This is why I don't rate GP2.

    WELL DONE HERBERT TELL IT HOW IT IS BYE BYE!!!
