Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
MX perhaps you should tell that to the Spanish 'fans' who threw bottles onto the track.
It should be up to the majority of Spanish people who IMO are no different to any people anywhere, to deal with this issue.
IMO this needs to be aired and not swept under the carpet.
Book me a flight to Valencia and I'll do my best at rounding up those ignorant 'fans' in order to talk to them about the bottle throwing, and whatever else they did wrong.
They should have received a fine for littering on public property.
Isnt it amusing how Brits support their man to the hilt, and the Spanish their own.
It will always boil down to this in the end, the only reason the Americans love Hamilton is because he gets to pound a pussycat doll in bed everynight.
Alonso IMO had some reason to feel angry, but not to the extent he has shown. Hamiltons comments after the race too, could be perceived as baiting. Neither angels, so by pointing the finger at either your near enough invalidating the other too.
Got to start getting the Spanish papers and learn Spanish. Loved the headline!
The modern version of mind games in F1 is rubbish and is just pathetic. At least guys like Piquet did it properly and didn't hide behind the press (telling Mansell his wife is ugly and grabbing Mansells gentlemans vegetables to make sure he had them after a brave/stupid overtake). These guys are there to race not snipe at each other through the press.
Piquet was an *** and the other drivers were *** to not have beaten him ****. Those weren't mind games, that was just his *** nature...and that's why he was not respected back then and he isn't respected even in Brazil now... and he passed that on to his son.

Hamilton really needs to say stuff like that sohe can really get into Fred's head, its clear Fred has an unstable personality.
Lewis should be careful not to trouble Alonso too much.
That bottle in the middle of track at valencia was not there by chance. There are crazy people out there that will fight alonso's fights for him.
What's the deal with the bottle, people aresaying Alonso fans threw them onto the track but do they have special non breakable bottles in spain or something? Any bottle thrown onto the track would have surely broken no? Has there been any clear info on this or only conjecture.
On speedTV they played a Hamilton radio message reporting the bottle on track... maybe it was thrown at him
