Forget him causing the 1st lap incident with JB & MS in Austrailia?ecapox wrote:1. Monacointernetf1fan wrote:
Look at how many mistakes he has made this season so far. I don't see any "rising above" etc. Sure one mistake or two is ok, but he's had mistake after mistake costing him and team valuable points.
2. False Start
3. Turkey (questionable)
So we have three issues in 6 races and Alonso should go shove his head in the sand and give up? We can now talk about him being washed up and a has-been?
I bet he storms through the field and finishes 4-5 this race...ahead of his teammate.
We are talking mistakes here. (per thread title)ISLAMATRON wrote: Forget him causing the 1st lap incident with JB & MS in Austrailia?
Blowing his engine attacking JB in Malaysia?
and now cutting down Petrov's tire... he was lucky to finish 8th in Turkey
The only stunning drive that gave Alonso points in Monaco was by Bert Maylander in the safety car when Hulkenburg hit the wall. He only passed 5 cars from the new teams on track... Nobody else... Hamilton's drive to 12th(from 20th) in Monaco last year was more impressive, but less lucky.GTO wrote:Alonso more than made up for Monaco practice error by finishing fantastic 4th starting from pits. IMO, a stunning drive. =D>
Missing Q1 in Turkey cannot be judged his error. This goof up must go his race eng. & team. He was sitting in garage out of top 10 with 3 min. left.
I can't understand why they didn't send him out earlier.
If Ferrari want be on the podium never mind win a race, they need to give their drivers a lot better car than they have thus far & bring forth some major improvements.ringo wrote:But he can't keep making mistakes and recovering for meager points. That loses its novelty and might annoy ferrari. They want to win, not recover points from the back.
Schumi has a worse car than Alonso.ringo wrote:Alonso will be an afterthought if he makes these mistakes in 2 more races. He's almost looking as washed up as shumacher.
So well? Hammy is only 5pts ahead...and that's only because this Turkish win was served on a platter to him by Vettel.ringo wrote:It must hurt him to see his former mclaren teammate doing so well.
So because he had a few mistakes and shitty race, he is "fading away"? Jesus christ, i'd hate to see what you people do when you have a bad week at work. Time for suicide? Give up? Kill boss? Heroine?ringo wrote:When i said doing so well, i mean in performance. Hamilton is pretty faultless this year in his driving. He is not to blame for any setbacks for the team.
In alonso's case the team has gave him a life line when things seem hopless after he makes his mistakes.
Dont get me wrong, he is one of the best on the grid, but he is fading away. The car is not good right now, but Massa is putting in the work and keeping his head down.
