I can't understand why you're making such a big deal over nothing. I actually find it quite hilarious. Things like that happen all the time, but no one really cares...

...unless drivers who awake big emotions in the fans are involved. :roll:

It was just some driving in free practice. No big deal. Get over it. The drivers already did that during the session anyway. :lol:

That was a classical brake test. Stupid and unjustifiable manoeuvre from Massa.

This is ironic actually, because Alonso also brake tested David Coulthard into retirement back in 2003 at the exact same spot.
And last year made Doorbos (who was holding Alonso up I'll give you that and he had every right to be pissed, nevertheless...) avoid contact at the last minute at turn 1 of the Hungaroring, on a free practice session.

A brake test is always a stupid manoeuvre in my book and should be penalised. But if there's a guy who knows a thing or two about brake tests, that's Fernando.

One of the best commercials to come out lately ... I'm sure it'll be three WDCs in that one, sooner or later.

Great to see Alonso pull another Alonso, being bloody fast in the rain. :D

Maybe one day people will be unbiased talking about sport... Maybe one day.
