Well, I still think Webber left too little room! But at least he realized his mistake quickly and allowed Alonso to get back to the racing track.

Darn it - I stand corrected. Now, where is my sword...... ;)

Ok, forgive me for being a bit late, due to the fact that as soon I finish watching a race, i go to sleep then straight to work next morning...

But you call that dirty driving? I call that BLOODY EXCITING! and not just because I'm an Aussie, i mean he was overtaken then took that spot back in a few hundred metres! This is what f1 needs MORE of, if it wasnt for that, the race would be boring as bat****.

I saw great driving.

If this was dirty, then bring on the filth.

Ok, but imagine this...

In a parallel universe, an F1 race is held. Now, things are a bit different there. Catalunya is part of the Portuguese Empire. But the track is the same and the beginning of the race unfolds in exactly the same way. And then, Alonso comes up behind Webber...

Now, Alonso is slip-streaming. Webber sees him getting closer, and at just the right moment - while Alonso is still behind - moves to the right to claim the inside line into the first corner in the name of the Kiwi Empire (whom he represents, West-side!). Alonso moves with him and gets back into the slip-stream. Closer, closer, closer. Alonso then pulls a hard left to take the outside line, and gets ahead. Alonso brakes for the corner - but Webber dives inside and brakes much later. Webber retakes the position. The Kiwis celebrate. The Portuguese curse. And everybody else is just happy because they've seen a wonderful bit of clean hard racing.

D'you get my drift? ;)

Maybe the FIA have it all wrong, they should be concentrating on making it HARDER for the cars to overtake as that is clearly what some of you want.

Mark knew that if Alonso got past his race was stuffed, so he had a big go to try and hold the position, just as Alonso was having a big go to try and take the position. One driver won, the other didn't, its called motor racing! This is serious high stakes stuff fellahs! Its not a bloody tea party, bloody hell....

I can't agree more! :up:

People who call themselves 'fans' don't like exciting racing! I bet Markasilly thinks Mansell passing Senna in Spain when he was trying to squeeze Senna out was dangerous. :rolleyes:

I can't watch exciting F1 racing like Webber versus Alonso without getting sexually aroused. We want more racing like this, not less.

Without such choppy-choppies being tolerated, overtaking would be easier. As in, not as difficult. As in... you know?

And Rollo - well done fellow, you've nailed it! :crazy: :laugh:

Defensive driving is just as exciting to watch overtaking.

Imagine watching a football match in which one team doesn't have a defence. Sure there would be lots of goals, but it would be boring after 5 minutes. It would be like watching Basketball, and who wants that? :p

Yes, of course.

I just hate chopping. You know? Moves done with the attitude of "We're alongside, so I'm gonna veer into you. Feeling lucky today, punk?"

There's no skill in that. No elaborate thought. It's just bullying.

The majority of you obviously think that's ok. I don't. One of them "differences of opinion", I guess.

Forcing him to the grass through pit exit is not aggressive, it's blocking!

He's passed anger management course, it sent forth fresh water and ruled out the bitter one, keep cool keep driving.

I just have to say it, mate. About 90% of the time, I have no idea what you're talking about. Is it some kind of code? :)
