    Lol it's been reported the reason why Seb and Michael never perform on Sunday is because they always get very drunk on the Saturday when they win for Germany ;)

    We all know thats bullshit..
    It's just an excuse because he lost to a crasher. He obviously wanted to win the individual and cracked under pressure..again..

    thinking about it this is the perfect kind of racing for Grosjean.

    we've seen all year that when there are people to crash into he generally will. However when he is alone on track he has impressive pace, especially over 1 lap.

    As demostrated by beating Vettel in the same car, having now seen footage of the race he was already ahead of Vettel when Vettel crashed.

    You do know the drivers are not allowed to adjust the cars to their liking? They're setup by somebody else and then left after that. Rally drivers have won this event more than F1 drivers and they admit people who rally or do other series outside of their main series have an advantage as they are used to racing with different cars. Seb focuses on F1, not ROC buggies.

    I can see the humour in the ROC, but I can't understand that some can actually take this seriously as a measure of driving ability in F1, it's a "bit" of a difference lol.

    It's like taking the Top Gear timed laps seriously and Seb is a second a lap faster than Jenson in better weather, so by that logic Seb is 4-6 tenths faster than Lewis in F1, using it as a weapon is really scraping the bottom of the barrel if you ask me. <ok>

    But it shows the true calibre of the F1 drivers of today, there are a good 8-10 drivers in the field that could win the world title if put in any top team and if you're not on the ball over a whole season you will fall back in eye blink. That's why it's a great relief for me that Seb won the 3rd, being able to win it again is just getting harder every year for everybody involved.

    We got more guys like: Da Costa, Frjins, Bianchi, Bottas in the wings to show their stuff. The likes of Lewis, Seb, Hulk, Perez, Maldonado and Grosjean etc.. was just the tip of the iceberg!

    Anyway, Heikki won this event a few years back before entering F1 and look where he is, losing to Petrov <laugh>

    Well I know Alonso entered this once in 2001 when he just entered F1 and he lost to everybody in the single series event, last in his group even <laugh> so maybe Seb isn't that rubbish lol.

    According to wikipedia Alonso took only part in 2002, in 2001 it was Flavio Alonso, a spanish rally driver.

    edit:
    Weird, the ROC page shows Fernando Alonso as 2001 & 2002, but wikipedia shows Flavio Alonso in 2001 & 2003, no clue which info is right.
