    Possibly the dullest record to be broken and the one that most people probably don't give a crap about.

    But thanks anyway. Come again soon.

    In about 2 years time, Alonso will beat Schumacher's record of most points scored of all time. I think that'll be better.

    That's why records are not all that relevant when considering race starts/laps done/points etc as there are far more races in a season than there were many years ago so it is hard to draw a comparison these days between records.

    Not if Fernando passes him in 2014, having had an extra year under the system, Eventually Fernando will be passed by Vettel, then someone else who spent there whole career under the post 2010 system. There have been changes before of course (9 to 10 points, 8 finishers instead of 6) but when its quite this drastic you can only really have a 1950-2009 leaderboard and a 2010-present leaderboard.

    Me neither, so... one could have the weight pen. for qualifying only?
    Cars could be designed to accomdate a weight port so the weight is in the same place on all cars, the FIA or Stewards would over see the weight being added during qualifying? May lead to more dynamic racing rather than the static follow the leader racing we've had for the last few races and years previous.

    Alonso aims to push Red Bull to breaking point

    http://en.espnf1.com/ferrari/motorsport/story/93546.html

    Fernando Alonso is not expecting to match Red Bull's pace at this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, but he plans to be close enough to push championship rival Sebastian Vettel into a mistake or a mechanical issue.

    Weird stuff. What a great sportsmanship.

    Especially at a hard track to overtake on.
