the thing is they are talking about KERS witch each team has their ownQuote:

True bur Fred DIDN'T take a nap, he was braking and changing gears all the way to the wall ergo he was fully awake and in control of himself. All that happened is that he went too fast got out wide and lost traction, corrected, but unfortunately his car gripped up suddenly, and he hit the wall.Quote:

Fred thought it was 1995 after he bumped his head. I wonder what he said when he checked his bank account? :p: :angel:
In other news, reports have emerged that Harrison Ford's participation in the upcoming Australian GP is in doubt following his accident.
Was he still shocked that Everton won the FA Cup final?

"McLaren have confirmed Fernando Alonso suffered temporary memory loss in a testing crash last month but played down media reports that the double world champion forgot he was a Formula One driver.
Spain’s El Pais newspaper had reported on Thursday that the driver told doctors testing his recall when he regained consciousness: “My name is Fernando, I race karts. I want to be a Formula One driver.”

It will be interesting to hear what else gets revealed about this incident. David Coulthard doesn't seem happy with the official story so far.

And Jenson has apparently seen something strange in the telemetry figures from Fernando's car.

So, I'm waiting to see what Eddie Jordan has to say. If there is anything suspect going on then he's sure to know about it, and he's bound to at least allude to it, if not say outright.
That aside, let's hope that Fernando is back in the car in time for Malaysia.
I'm seriously saddened by the fact that Honda is probably not going to make a major impact this year, cause i desperately want ALO to win another title. That would be news that i could read over and over until i were blue in the face.
Quite frankly, i'm tired of reading yet another article that simply cannot shed any more light onto what we already know. All joking aside, i seriously think someone remotely caused the car to go into a spin. Someone who really wants to see ALO hurt badly. Kevin?
it really makes you wonder how serious his condition is
Alan Jones (there was talk yesterday he may never return to f1)
Mark Webber (Alonso could miss upto to 4 races)
