You've given up on Fisi?

I feel that Fillipe will be on his way at the end of the season,maybe talking out of school will not help his cause!
I feel fernando is very well thought of and can set cars up which ,Fillipe is probably not as good at,remember Fernando was the guy that sorted the Mac out in 2008 testing.He said he got the Mac 6/ 10s faster

Oh yes, the infamous 6/10ths.

there has been alot of rumours about rifts in ferrari, obviously.

My view is things are not as bad as the media make out, things might not be as great as the Todt-Schumi-Brawn era, but Ferrari are a team of professionals and any problems will be settled in the right manner, IMO.

unfortunatly for their competitors :D

They never are - but harmony peace and love does not sell many papers these days.

Might up the distribution numbers for the Peoples Friend though......

I imagine Felipe wasn't very happy about Alonso overtaking him, but it's not inconceivable that he would have done exactly the same to Alonso had their positions been reversed.

For all the talk that goes on about the "Latin Temperament" in English language press and on here, it's seems that it's still completely misunderstood. I'll have a go at explaining how it works, as I see it.

Latin people have a looser fuse. They let rip and curse you to high heaven with a lot less provocation than Northern Europeans. But then, and here's the bit the people don't seem to get, it's over. Finished. Out of their system. No necessity for festering resentment or high powered rifles in shopping malls type reactions.

I'm sure Massa was cursing Alonso while he was waiting for his pitstop, but I would say it was all over by the next lap.

Personally, I like Alonso because he speaks his mind. If his car is crap he says so, knowing his team is doing everything they can to remedy things. Because his team knows that he will get the best out of the car, which is his job, they don't need him to say they're great when they're not.

Yes they're rumours, yes they're (as yet) unfounded, but I've always suspected that Felipe needs to know he has the full support of the team at all times. There was no doubt about that after his accident and subsequent recovery, but all this kind of talk may unsettle him somewhat.

Are you a motorsport journalist? If not you should consider a career in that domain. :p

And still somehow Hamilton was beating him, strange eh?!

Let's make one thing clear, none of the guys out there is able to better the other ones about 0.6 seconds / whatever Alonso wants, in any field.

0.2-0.3 is the maximum IMO.

Your opinion counts to nothing. Nico beat MS 0,7 secs in quali and around 1 sec/lap during the China GP (thats 10 tenths lap after lap after lap). Either Nico is truly a god, or MS is in the wrong series. Id go for the latter.
