I thought the same when I read that.

Smedley likely had no idea how infamous that phrase would eventually become.

It would allow us to see many more drivers in ‘equal’ cars!

I’d like to see an Alonso, Ricciardo, Hamilton team… :D

Alonso didn’t lose positions by slipping the chicane

Actually, maybe short-cutting that chicane and not having to load up the rear tyres on exit is what eventually got him to lap 31 on those softs… So you […]

Very sorry for your loss, too.

I’m with you @danbrown180.

I watch it sometimes as a reminder that in some situations, I may have to face all my fears as I may be the only person in a position to help somebody else.

Don’t even say Maldonado and Montoya in the same sentence.

In his few seasons in F1, Montoya made a huge impact. He was up to pace straight away, and he was absolutely as good at overtaking as Lewis […]

Alonso drove a car that’s a bit slower than the RB10 and put it on the podium; only behind the Mercedes pair. So no points to you for “not even considering it”.

At first I thought I cheated because I went Alonso with only his Sunday race in mind.

But in hindsight he led a practice session, had a good weekend, and it’s probably a bigger accomplishment than we all […]

That’s a great question, mate.

Seems like reliability is the easier of the two to make up throughout the season. Ferrari haven’t been very consistent about improving performance throughout the season in […]

Championships in the last decade:
Button: 1
Vettel: 4
Alonso: 2
Raikkonen: 1
Hamilton: 1

Exactly what @colossal-squid just said.

I would personally never get over the loss of a world title that was affected by something like this. Never. I’d be bitter to my grave, but that’s just me. :)

@kartingjimbo – 100% agree. Every time I think of the points lost in 2008 due to this, it hurts my heart for Felipe.

+1 I’d like to know.

That’s very well put, @Robbie. It helps me, anyways.

Very sad news… My thoughts are with her family and loved ones.
