World Feed Rating: 8/1023rd September 2012, 22:33 at 10:33 pm #208998JenniKateParticipantBest Driver: di Resta – although I’d forgotten about him until I read other responses. There’s something very bland about him that makes me forget he’s there!

Race Rating: 6/1023rd September 2012, 23:04 at 11:04 pm #208999KingsharkParticipantLeast Surprising Result: Alonso picking up points by other people’s misfortune again.
Ah, it’s great to see that you’re still on it. :)
How many points did Alonso gain from Hamilton’s failure? 3. How many did Vettel gain? 7.
I know you’re a Vettel fan, but how much more ignorant car you be? Alonso lost a win in Italy thanks to his anti-roll bar failure and a potential podium (Massa finished fifth) in Belgium when he was punted off by Grosjean. Oh wait, but those aren’t misfortunes are they?
Complete this sentence for me: To finish first, first you have to …
Bad luck and a failure isn’t the same thing. A puncture or being taken out by another driver would be considered bad luck. A car failure is a failure from the team. Alonso and Ferrari might not have had the fastest car this season, but they have the best driver and the most consistent team.
