    Yeah, but Alonso beat Vettel in every wet race last year :D

    They're wrong. God's very angry with us. This is the flood. It's raining all over the world. I can see it out of my window.

    Oh yes I remember that race.

    - Alonso's quick lap in qualifying was ruined by rain.
    - He was the only driver to get the braking perfect at the end of lap 1

    Fantastic!

    True, Alonso made a mistake, but Vettel drove poorly that race. I think lack of experience in those situations may have caused his crash into Button, that kind of thing shouldn't happen again

    I think I can see a dry line appearing in the tarmac! <laugh>

    Surely a dry line won't just appear by itself? It's only 22 degrees C max acording to weather channels, not really warm enough to make it dry that fast

    Well it is true what forza says. Alonso's race was ruined, ironically, because he was the only driver able to correctly judge the grip at the bus stop chicane and position himself to take the corner correctly while everyone else took a run over the very generous run off tarmac

    I know you're a die hard Ferrari fan, I am too, but you might wanna learn when to accept Alonso has made a mistake. It happens to all the best drivers. We were good in the rain last year, but didn't excell, we had some bad races too.

    It is true, but he wasn't out at that point, he was still in, and crashed off by himself. Also, at the point he was hit, he hadn't exactly overtaken a large number of people before the end of the first lap, it wasn't Senna style :( Btw, I'm a Ferrari fan, and have been since '97, so not WUM, just a realist

    You would be surprised. Most water is drained off the track and 22c should make short work of what is left. If by the time of the race inters are still required and no more rain arrives then a dry line will appear by lap 2

    In regards to Alonso crashing out at Spa 2010 he was missing a large chunk of downforce thanks to an attempted rape by Barrichello so was not entirely his fault.

    For a true dry line, it'll be more than 2 laps. Always is. Inters clear alot less than wets remember, and you'll find that nobody big will risk it, not alot of run off to avoid the walls. If it was somewhere like China, alot of run off, maybe, but the walls are too close, could you imagine going through final chicane with dry tyres and it's semi wet. Hello wall of champions

    Apparently the damage done to the back of the car rendered it completely undriveable once the rain did arrive. So while it may not have led to his retirement there and then, it caught up with him in the end.

    True, but he did use the white line a little too much. And he's never said he's a wet specialist, so I guess he can make mistakes :(
