@scroggzilla raids again: It must have fun being able to get away with that look. Even my whitebread religious father had some variation of that going on.
Say what you will about personality, but Alonso can make a race with little to no overtaking worth watching. See clips of the recent Singapore race for evidence.
Finally, we got to see the super dorifto potential of the Renault at Singapore, after last year's embarassing attempts by Piquet Jr. At times watching Fernando, I wondered if I was watching D1GP or F1 GP. The man gives great car control.
@BxBatman: Your post wasn't deleted, it's just "hidden" like all the other Minardis and Force Indias out there in Jalop comment-land. Try hitting "show all threads" at the bottom for a glimpse of how silly you look to the rest of us.

@badhatharry: I was going to say that his lack of motivation could show that it is time to move on. I was also going to say that he does not have any feelings towards Ferrari anymore.
@badhatharry: Yeah I agree Massa would be the better choice. I've only been following F1 since 08 so I can't really judge Alonso's abilities, he did however win two championships. Massa had a great season last year with one of the most exciting finishes.
This year there was so much drama, so I guess it was interesting in that sense.
@uncleben: I harbor some dislike for Alonso for the 06 season when he was battling it out with Schumi. So, because I hold a grudge (along with him cheating against Ferrari in 07), I'm going with Massa, who, but for Timo fucking Glock, would have won the driver's championship last year.
Alonso's going to leave Ferrari in a year, just like he did at McLaren. Massa is the Scuderia's No. 1 driver, for some unknown reason, and Alonso won't like it. He'll be back at Renault, if Renault is still there in two years.
Kimi at McLaren makes sense, IF McLaren will give him the same parts as Lewis. Kimi will have his ups and downs, and will score an occasional win, when he feels like being motivated.
@chucky2jimmy: Well now I can't continue to hate McLaren. At least not as much. And now I can't hate Alonso. This is like if the Red Socks and Yankees combined forces.
@uncleben: Canada in like 07, right? That was nuts. And he came out of with with a concussion and a sprained ankle. Let's see that same crash have that outcome in NASCAR.
I don't have any examples, but I've heard rumors that Kubica is a pain in the ass.
I can hear Kimi's high-pitched, breathy, and monotonic post-race drivers' remarks already: "I apologize to Lewis for crashing him out on the first turn. I am not familiar with this KERS system."
@Al Navarro: I'm waiting for Kimi and Kubica to be on the same team so they can create the ultimate racecar. After every race they always say that the the car could be better. If they get together... maybe, just maybe.
While I can certainly appreciate great photography, to me it just seems like an overhyped retro idea coming back to popularity and being over-used. It shouldn't be used for every shot, and most REAL professionals have several cameras and several setups ready for particular events, so I would hope the guys who took these took some other pictures without this overused feature. The first picture was good because it had the people focused as I'm guessing the photographer intended, but SOME of the shots after made it seemed over-used and completely unnecessary. I'm no professional hell I wouldn't even say I'm an amateur but listening to my dad about photography for decades gives me some ability to critique. And if it doesn't then I give myself the right dammit.

"Thank you, I'm very excited to be back home at McLaren."
Look out Lewis.

All said extremely quietly, slurred, and without any hint of charisma.
God, I'm unhappy he's leaving Ferrari.

Then I realized who I was talking about.
The "Ice Man"
He sure lives up to that name.

But seriously, now I have to choose between Massa and Alonso. I'm going to have to go with Massa.

The best part is I can go back to hating Ferrari.

He is a kick ass driver that survived one of the craziest crashes I've every seen.
For that reason and others I can't bring myself to hate him.
Maybe when I see him in the yellow, that just may do it.
