Win number 10 for Fernando Alonso




Wow, what a race it was! Within seconds after the start trulli can go back to wash off the dirt and moments later Massa en Rosberg go off together. The safaty car has to get in to clean the road before they can go on. Fernando Alonso passes Button and takes of when a few minutes later a new safety car comes in. This time it is end of story for Klien and the mess needs to be cleaned up. While the safety car is going away, Alonso is still warming up his tires and all of a sudden he jumps away....leaving Button and Raikonnen only to follow the leader (that is how it should be!).
Alonso's pitstop goes perfect and things seem to settle down....

But trouble isn't over yet. Ralf Schumacher gets a drive through. Just as Webber (in his home grand prix) is driving at front of the others, his car stops and game over for Webber. Feel sorry for him...curious what happened. Right when you get the feeling everybody found his place, Schumi tries to push a bit to far and goes in to the wall. Pretty shitty for Fernando Alonso who was getting a save feeling with the distance between him and Raikonnen.

Fisichella is getting his ass in trouble as the team things he is not driving fast enough and gets a warning of his boss. He is two seconds slower than Fernando Alonso... for the rest of the race the trouble is on, and we even get a shot of a Flavio Briatore with his hands in front of his face.

As Schumi tries to find his way back home, Fernando Alsonso takes off after the safety car situation, but soon after Liuzzi crashes his car and a new safaty car moment is coming up. It is getting a bit irritating...how is it possible! Never seen that safety cat that much! But it is a big crash. Sand and pieces of the car are all over the place. The guys that clean up the track will feel their hand at the end of the day, because they keep sweeping.

In round 40 the speed comes back in the game and the only one that loses grip are Monteiro and Montoya. With two laps to go, Fernando Alonso tells his team he is rrrrrrrrrreally rrrrrrrrrelaxed.. and that while just being 6 seconds away from Raikonnen... who probably thought something like that some months ago.. and who had to leave his car just a lap before the finish....When Alonso and Raikonnen are save home, Button blows up his motor just meters away from the finishline and Fisichella almost gets an extra teint of the fireflames coming out of the car of Button. I feel really sorry for the guy, so close and yet so far away.

It is a pity for Alberts that he is one round behind so that Button still comes in tenth (don't understand that, he never finished...so why the tenth place) and Alberts we can find back at place 11. Not a bad thing, as you see the laptimes and etc, but when I hear the comments Alberts make, I feel irritated. It is good to always want to be better, but be happy with what you are doing once in a while. You never have driven a better race, so squeeze your hands and say: I did a good job today!

Well, this for now. Alonos won his tenth race and finds a new move he can do (the strange one in another race was a move from the movie Shrek....so they say). Time to start up a new day.

Het schijnt dat Alonso als eerste Rossi heeft uitgedaagd, n.a.v. Alonso's 'laatdunkende' opmerkingen van Rossi's plan om in een Ferrari te gaan rijden.
Daarna ging Rossi akkoord met de weddenschap, maar Alonso doet het niet omdat ie ook net weer met het nieuwe seizoen bezig is en ook van Renault mag het geloof ik niet. Dus toen vond Rossi Alonso weer een mietje.

Ik heb de race dus alweer moeten missen, ook de herhaling. Gvd. Maar wel een mooie uitslag!

ja, heb het hele verhaal wel in de grote lijn gelezen... denk niet dat rossi de man is die je meot uitdagen, denk nl dat ie wel aardig in de F1 mee zou kunnen...
Het was wel een spannende race, maar op een gegeven moment werd ik gek van de safety car en het gezeik van Albers
