ALonso... in Hungary??? Someone please refresh my memory?

I agree that the F1 Racing pole is a bunch of crap.

Alonso start 15th or so, and very quickly passed everyone to P1 - he would have probably won it all - but a safety car period bunched everyone behind him and a wheel nut went off after a mistake by a mechanic after a pit stop - and he crashed out when the wheel left the car.

Here is Alonso overtaking Schumacher on the outside in the wet -

Thanks for the Refresher... but still not convinced. Micheal had a terrible grid position and quickly was up to 5th place, only to get a flat while making a very clean pass on Fisi. So... not only did he have to make an unscheduled pit stop, but he had to do an entire lap on a flat rear which again put him in dead last... only to fly right back to a podium finnish. He definately showed his stuff in that, his final race!

Cheers

Not to take away from Michael's last race - it was a beauty - but he did not end on the podium (he finished 4th).

For my money - Alonso in the wet was spectacular.

Oops!... Thanks for the reminder! Ha ha ha!!!

Yes... Alanso was good in the wet on that day. But for Michael not to be, he must have surely had a poor set-up... or something else was arey.?.?

He admited into the interiew this was one of the mistakes he made this year. He also mention crashing into the wall in Australia, but no mention of Monaco.

MS crashed into Heidfeld at the end of the race thus RK 8th place was taken and given to MS.

His car was found a little underweight at the end of the race.

Here is this year's dual title winner! Credit to Planet F1 for the pics.

No reason not to be optimistic. LOL!!!

It looks to be a slightly different Red.?.? back to the Ferarri red of about ten years ago???

Cheers

Yes, the Vodafone orange-red is gone. It certainly looks good, and much better than the new Renault with its multi-color scheme. The Ferrari rear is supposed to be significantly different, and is reported to be one of the most changed cars. Most of the others are like last year's. Honda's new car, like McLaren's, didn't last a lap on its debut run. The Renault has some interesting aero changes, wonder if they really make that much of a difference?
