I can't believe the hate on Alonso or Alonso fans, for what was one of the greatest last laps in modern F1. He was on inters? Yeah. Why? He took the huge risk to change on the last lap. It's called strategy.
And no matter the tires you have, it's very, very hard to overtake on a wet track.
He took the risk, passed 4 cars in a sub-par Renault, in one lap, on the incredibly tricky, slippery Spa track surface.
If that's not impressive, I don't know what is. Senna would congratulate him IMO.
So they were on slicks and he was on inters or full wets ? Yet another Alonso fanboy making something out of relatively little.. 'Alonso takes a breath.. OMG!'
@beyblader10171 he didn't get past Heidfeld. Nick stopped after 42 laps for intermeds, Fernando after 43 out of 44. On lap 42, Fernando was ahead of Nick, but he finished behind him. the white BMW Fernando overtook was Kubica, not Heidfeld.
which position had Heidfeld before he changed to inters? somebody Knows? cause many people highlight the last lap of Alonso passing from P8 to P4, But i don't remember where has Heifeld before, i think taht was behind Alonso 2 laps to end, but Nick finish third, second finally when hamilton was punished.
@vickmatell Nick was 8th when he came into the pits with 2 laps to go, he didn't lose a place during his stop. then Kimi shredded his Ferrari (Nick was 7th), when Nick entered his last lap, he became 6th (due to Fernando's stop), and during his last lap in the Malmedy-Pouhon-Section he passed Vettel (5th), Kubica(4th) and Bourdais(3rd). After the race, Hamilton got penalized and Nick was promoted to 2nd. I think his last lap at Spa 2008 can be compared to Senna's first lap at Donington 1993.
@Naganiet200 It was the last lap and the track was getting pretty wet. Most of them stayed on dry tires for the last lap but Alonso gambled on intermediates and it worked out. The others were sitting ducks because of dry tires.
i really dont like alonso, because i consider him quite the crybaby, but he is a skilled driver. granted, the real reason why he was able to do this is because of the tyres, but i dont know of many other drivers that would attack two other drivers at the bus stop chicane, especially in the wet.
why all the pride... the other cars were obviously not using the proper tires at the time.... he didn't pass those people because he's better... (although he is better than most of the ones he passed)
probably not vettel though, we already know hamilton is quicker
It was almost like a qualifying lap at the finish, it felt as if Alonso was on a hot lap and was caught in loads of traffic who were all on out laps, amazing action especially nipping round supersebo at the end
se se muy impresionate seria sino fuera x la diferencia de neumaticos, alonso habia cambiado y los demas no, por eso los sobrepasa tan facil, no es 1 ciencia lo que hizo.
Alonso's strategy was terrible! He should have stopped to change tyres at the previous lap or not at all. He was in front of Heinfeld and he finished behind him!!! I think if he had stopped at the previous lap he could have won the race!!!
@felipemassa998 'could have' or 'should have' both mean absolutely fuck all, it's what actually happens that counts.
Spa is so big, and the track conditions vary so much from 1 side of the circuit to the other, meaning it's almost impossible for drivers to judge accurate tyre strategy in such conditions.
You're right. Fernando had been ahead of the Bourdais/Kubica/Vettel/Heidfeld-train, Nick stopped after 42 laps for full wets, 1 lap later Fernando stopped for intermeds and could reel in 3 out of 4. Thus, his pit stop had brought him an opportunity to prove his driving skills, but no net advantage. Heidfeld ended up 2nd, only 9 seconds behind Massa. With Nick's pitstop strategy, Fernando would have had a chance to catch Felipe in his last lap. but there is no 'if' or 'would' in racing...
Not sure why Raikkonen was pointed out as he was out on the previous lap, Alonso had already passed him for position before he made his pitstop. But it goes to show how much more grip the wet tyres gave, shame he didn't have another lap or he would have passed Massa and Hamilton :)
Because the lap time around Spa is just under 2 minutes and i think it would take too long for the cars to do a slow in lap so they just go in at the end of the pitlane :) I think thats why anyway lol
:( I've been on the Wii game at my mate's house, and it's godawful. There's no damage, the cars sound crap, the graphics arelike PS1 and there s no feeling in the steering. Better off playing
Jesus... -_- .... All the hype around that game and it is garbage. I hope 2010 is nothing like it. Thanks too I was gonna purchase a wii and this game lol. I guess I have to play formula 1 championship edition a little longer.
But hey only 60 more days until gran turismo 5 full version reserve your copy a.s.a.p. theres some formula 1 on it now ;^D
Well not exactly. In gt5 prologue the ferrari f2007 chassis is in there and if you race it is againsts only f2007 because it is only f1 car in the game prologue. but I saw a car list that had mclaren f2007 in it too, for full game. I hope it is not a lie.
this was a race... last year massa or kimi crashed before chikane... i remember that. great job btw foe heidfeld too who made same move and went to pits for wet tyres...
lol ''he knew he had to'' ofc you have to lift if its damn wet there everyone knows it damn it sure is easy to impress you :P i think that even more impressing is that he overtook 4 guys in 1 lap great strategy
wow .....what a concentration .... he realised under that conditions that there was yellow flags and didnt overtook ..... thats one of the best drivers in f1 ..... maybe he win tomorrow hungary gp
Nice one, Raikkonen told the finnish TV that he was going to get wet tyres for the last lap too but he crashed before that in the battle with Hamilton.
@nessie43 Alonso is usually being very bold driver, and involved in pretty big scandals (singapore 2008, and mclaren spying case 2007). No wonder if somebody just dont like the guy.
@nessie43 I dislike him because of his attitude, I admit he's a great driver. But his attitude stinks. Win at all costs even if his team mate has to move over or crashes into a wall for him to get that victory. Also when he was Hamilton's team mate he couldn't accept equality, what he did in qualifying to delay Hamilton was shameful not only in the act, but the lies he spoke after.
Which is why I dislike Schumi too, great driver poor character.
@LeJimster How can you blame Alonso for the Piquet-crash? It was Briatore who ordered it and not Fernando. Alonso knew nothing about it. How could he have known anyway?
@ttiwehhewitt I didn't say I blame him for Piquet's crash. I just said his attitude stinks, he has no remorse for what the Renault team did for him, he likes getting preferential treatment and expects it. Listen to him this year many times whining on the radio about drivers not getting out of his way, as if he's got some divine right to be infront. Like I say he's a great driver, but I can't stand him personally.. Poetic justice this year I thought.
@LeJimster I think it's a bit hard to say "he has no remorse" for what happened. I dont think he would've liked to win the race like that. About the treatment: he's no different than any other big champion in the past - like senna, schumacher - who expect to be the No1 driver cause they simply deserve it and justify it every time with the results and titels they win. If you're two-time champ and have countless victories i think you have the right to claim the No1 spot, dont you think?
@ttiwehhewitt If you're that good, you don't need team orders. I guess you're one of those fans who thinks team orders are fine. I am not and if a supposedly better driver can't get past his team mate, then tough luck is what I say. I prefer to see teams treat their drivers as equal as possible.
@LeJimster Dear, naive friend. Tell me one top team that fights for the championship, which treats both their drivers equally? Certain decisions have to be made to be successful. I dont like direct team order either, but sometimes it happens. And it's not Alonso or any other driver who makes them, but the teamchefs. If you're 'not a fan' of that 'tough luck' it is indeed.
Lmao, how typical of the spanish to print such a biased article. So Hamilton is a fake, did he fake his numerous karting titles(all won before Mclaren signed him up to driver development prog), or his F3 title, or his F3000 title, or his GP2 title or his F1 title? Nope!
There are better drivers in GP2 than Rubens (Bruno Senna & Lucas diGrassi) and i agree that Jenson is in a different league to him.
I was at Spa last year, and the amount of support he had from the foreign crowd was incredible
Nooooooo.... I am not a newcomer to f1, like many spanish compatriots. Lewis is extremely good, in fact, i enjoy watching him driving to the limit. My point is that i ve been living in uk the last 3 years and i hate how ITV brainwashed all public about how nice and sportsman Lewis is.
They did not tell the truth about hungary 07 and what happen to hamilton´s car and the "gear box problems"
Ur living in the UK? I feel sorry for u lol, i packed my bags and left for the middle east,lol. The gear box problems, i think you are referring to Brasil 07, well FIA officials had to look at Hamiltons gearbox after qualy due to a problem with it, the same problem that Alonso had earlier in the year (Bahrain i think, but i cant remember). It was loss of hydralic pressure that caused the problem in the race, but had Mclaren not put Hamilton on a 3 stopper & had they not forgot to re-fuel him lol
I am living in Spain now. Alonso had the gear box problems at magny cours, i think.
Hamilton pushed the wrong button, same as Kovalainen did last year in Australia. The gear box problems was a cover up thing. It would be the first time in history where a gear box is broken and 20 seconds later is miracously perfect. But i do not want to change your beliefs of course.
Nah if you watch the video on you-tube, even before Hamiton pushed any buttons you can hear the revs drop on the engine. The ECU default settings can only be reverted to when the car is in neutral.
Yeah am lookin forward to Barcelona, and i'll be glad when Mclaren / Renault & Ferrari get their cars sorted properly.
There is no "F3" series - there are some national series, like Japanese F3 and British F3, and there is the European championship, F3 Euroseries. Lewis Hamilton did not race in any F3 series in 2003 - but he won Formula Renault 2.0 UK. But anyways, it doesn't really matter, you don't have to convince anyone that he won a lot in junior series - but personally, I think he had much, much better support than most drivers, being with McLaren from the start of his formula racing career.
Every driver on the grid had £millions invested in them, their early careers funded by teams, sponsors or rich parents.
Alonso, Kovalainen & Grosjean were on Renaults young driver development program, Vettel was on Redbulls, Schumi & Heidfeld were on Mercedes, Hamilton & current DTM driver Jamie Green were on Mclarens.
There's Webber, who's career was funded by £5million Yellow Pages sponsor, and Button, Piquet & Rosberg all had wealthy families funding their careers to the sum of £millions
Comparing the Renault young driver program to the support Hamilton got/gets from McLaren is ridiculous. And of course, every racing driver has a HUGE budget, but Hamilton's backing was extreme - he always got into the "best" teams in the lower formulae, for example. I don't think you can compare those "young driver development" programs that all teams have with what Hamilton got.
How bitter are you? Most drivers on the grid come from wealthy families, yet Hamilton was from a very poor background, his dad worked 3 jobs to support his career. Hamilton won 2 karting titles, 2 x MB future champs series, the Sky masters series and the Autosport driver of the year award BEFORE getting help off Mclaren, and they didn't just sign him, they signed Jamie Green at the same time (Merc DTM driver).
If Hamilton got to the best teams it was because of his ability so get over it.
I am not bitter at all - I think he deserved all he got, I am just saying that in FR, F3 and GP2 he was with teams proven capable of winning. I am not saying that his skill is lower than any other Grand Prix driver, probably higher than most. I don't know how we got into this from me saying that you were wrong about F3000, and then again with the "F3" comment - I don't think Hamilton is a bad driver in any way.
Probably because you used words like "ridiculous" & "extreme" lol.
If a driver wins titles at kadet , junior yamaha and JICA, it's only logical that he's going to go to teams like Manor & Art in single seaters.
As for the F3 series I was referring to, it has ran since the 1950's and still runs today, Senna & Hakkinen have both won it, it's a single seater 2.0 series just like Formula Renault (which you rightly pointed out Hamilton won) and GP2 is just the discontinued F3000 series anyway :-)
Alonso as good as the others, but so much clever in the race. I think Renault helped him developping what any driver need to win constitancy and championship. As he is very talented too as the footage shows it well, he is able to win any race with any car in special conditions like wet.
he is a very good driver but i still dont like him, no denying the man has skill lets all hope the top drivers in F1 this year all have winning cars to make it interesting
Well done to the people who dislikes Alonso but dont deny that he is talented. I feel the same about hamilton. Not looking good this year for him... we will see
time will tell, i think hamilton is what the sport needed at that time a frindly "nice" polite driver for kids to look upto and a cracking driver to boot
I think that is what the media wanted us to think. I f you ask me, Button is as good as hamilton and much more polite. I was living in england the last 3 years and i can tell you that outside uk Lewis is not seen for everyone as "mr nice". ITV did a good work not showing his "dark side". And trust me, people is tired of watching Lewis father on screen every two minutes of grandprix... Alonso won two championships with his head,more than with his car.
Wtf is the FIA thinking? With the new rules if alonso for example starts a race from the back of the grid his race will be pointless cause he wont have any chance of winning that race and the points he could score are not important anymore... Mosley keep partying and go home for good!!
Yes, but bernie wanted the gold silver and bronze medals. Can you imagine the podiums now? If i was second or third place i would not bother to show up in the podium, Whats the point? This season looked grat and now they spoiled it. Hijos de la gran puta me cago en sus muertos
Perhaps you can send me a link to the interviews or media stories when Hamilton was rude or bad mannered? Thats a crock of shit, and Hamilton is still the biggest crowd puller in F1. In Brazil they show Massas dad every 5mins, and now they are constantly showing Jensons dad. Whether a driver wins a title with his head or because he had incredible skills, both styles are effective in the hands of such skilled drivers. Jenson is winning because he has a car advantage(high downforce / lowweight).
Jenson is winning cause is ten times better than rubens. There is no big crowd puller in f1 at the moment., he is the biggest media puller, i give you that. No one goes to a circuit to watch lewis, except uk.
I will give you links in a bit.
It is funny cause the only driver double champion is Alonso and his father or wife are NEVER on tv. Thats common sense. Massas father and lewis father made a laugh of themselves last year
I can't believe the hate on Alonso or Alonso fans, for what was one of the greatest last laps in modern F1. He was on inters? Yeah. Why? He took the huge risk to change on the last lap. It's called strategy.

Nice one, Raikkonen told the finnish TV that he was going to get wet tyres for the last lap too but he crashed before that in the battle with Hamilton.

You hate him? Why, did he try to steal away your girlfriend?
I always wonder about people's strong 'feelings' for someone they don't even know and never even talked to.

@nessie43 Alonso is usually being very bold driver, and involved in pretty big scandals (singapore 2008, and mclaren spying case 2007). No wonder if somebody just dont like the guy.
PurpleSteelman 1 year ago 3
@nessie43 I dislike him because of his attitude, I admit he's a great driver. But his attitude stinks. Win at all costs even if his team mate has to move over or crashes into a wall for him to get that victory. Also when he was Hamilton's team mate he couldn't accept equality, what he did in qualifying to delay Hamilton was shameful not only in the act, but the lies he spoke after.
Which is why I dislike Schumi too, great driver poor character.

@LeJimster How can you blame Alonso for the Piquet-crash? It was Briatore who ordered it and not Fernando. Alonso knew nothing about it. How could he have known anyway?
ttiwehhewitt 1 year ago
@ttiwehhewitt I didn't say I blame him for Piquet's crash. I just said his attitude stinks, he has no remorse for what the Renault team did for him, he likes getting preferential treatment and expects it. Listen to him this year many times whining on the radio about drivers not getting out of his way, as if he's got some divine right to be infront. Like I say he's a great driver, but I can't stand him personally.. Poetic justice this year I thought.
LeJimster 1 year ago
@LeJimster I think it's a bit hard to say "he has no remorse" for what happened. I dont think he would've liked to win the race like that. About the treatment: he's no different than any other big champion in the past - like senna, schumacher - who expect to be the No1 driver cause they simply deserve it and justify it every time with the results and titels they win. If you're two-time champ and have countless victories i think you have the right to claim the No1 spot, dont you think?
ttiwehhewitt 1 year ago
@ttiwehhewitt If you're that good, you don't need team orders. I guess you're one of those fans who thinks team orders are fine. I am not and if a supposedly better driver can't get past his team mate, then tough luck is what I say. I prefer to see teams treat their drivers as equal as possible.
LeJimster 1 year ago
@LeJimster Dear, naive friend. Tell me one top team that fights for the championship, which treats both their drivers equally? Certain decisions have to be made to be successful. I dont like direct team order either, but sometimes it happens. And it's not Alonso or any other driver who makes them, but the teamchefs. If you're 'not a fan' of that 'tough luck' it is indeed.

Oasisf1 2 years ago
Lmao, how typical of the spanish to print such a biased article. So Hamilton is a fake, did he fake his numerous karting titles(all won before Mclaren signed him up to driver development prog), or his F3 title, or his F3000 title, or his GP2 title or his F1 title? Nope!
There are better drivers in GP2 than Rubens (Bruno Senna & Lucas diGrassi) and i agree that Jenson is in a different league to him.
I was at Spa last year, and the amount of support he had from the foreign crowd was incredible
bmk139 2 years ago
Nooooooo.... I am not a newcomer to f1, like many spanish compatriots. Lewis is extremely good, in fact, i enjoy watching him driving to the limit. My point is that i ve been living in uk the last 3 years and i hate how ITV brainwashed all public about how nice and sportsman Lewis is.
They did not tell the truth about hungary 07 and what happen to hamilton´s car and the "gear box problems"
All credit to Brundell,though
Oasisf1 2 years ago
Ur living in the UK? I feel sorry for u lol, i packed my bags and left for the middle east,lol. The gear box problems, i think you are referring to Brasil 07, well FIA officials had to look at Hamiltons gearbox after qualy due to a problem with it, the same problem that Alonso had earlier in the year (Bahrain i think, but i cant remember). It was loss of hydralic pressure that caused the problem in the race, but had Mclaren not put Hamilton on a 3 stopper & had they not forgot to re-fuel him lol
bmk139 2 years ago
I am living in Spain now. Alonso had the gear box problems at magny cours, i think.
Hamilton pushed the wrong button, same as Kovalainen did last year in Australia. The gear box problems was a cover up thing. It would be the first time in history where a gear box is broken and 20 seconds later is miracously perfect. But i do not want to change your beliefs of course.
BTW GO BARCELONA!!!!!!!!!
Oasisf1 2 years ago
Nah if you watch the video on you-tube, even before Hamiton pushed any buttons you can hear the revs drop on the engine. The ECU default settings can only be reverted to when the car is in neutral.
Yeah am lookin forward to Barcelona, and i'll be glad when Mclaren / Renault & Ferrari get their cars sorted properly.

Which F3000 title?
Lolzilol123 2 years ago
I meant F3 euro title,lol.
bmk139 2 years ago
That must've been the "F3 title" you already mentioned :)
Lolzilol123 2 years ago
Nope, F3 he won in 2003, F3 euroseries (when he partnered Nico Rosberg), he won in 2005. Both completely different series.
bmk139 2 years ago
There is no "F3" series - there are some national series, like Japanese F3 and British F3, and there is the European championship, F3 Euroseries. Lewis Hamilton did not race in any F3 series in 2003 - but he won Formula Renault 2.0 UK. But anyways, it doesn't really matter, you don't have to convince anyone that he won a lot in junior series - but personally, I think he had much, much better support than most drivers, being with McLaren from the start of his formula racing career.
Lolzilol123 2 years ago
Every driver on the grid had £millions invested in them, their early careers funded by teams, sponsors or rich parents.
Alonso, Kovalainen & Grosjean were on Renaults young driver development program, Vettel was on Redbulls, Schumi & Heidfeld were on Mercedes, Hamilton & current DTM driver Jamie Green were on Mclarens.
There's Webber, who's career was funded by £5million Yellow Pages sponsor, and Button, Piquet & Rosberg all had wealthy families funding their careers to the sum of £millions
bmk139 2 years ago
Comparing the Renault young driver program to the support Hamilton got/gets from McLaren is ridiculous. And of course, every racing driver has a HUGE budget, but Hamilton's backing was extreme - he always got into the "best" teams in the lower formulae, for example. I don't think you can compare those "young driver development" programs that all teams have with what Hamilton got.
Lolzilol123 2 years ago
How bitter are you? Most drivers on the grid come from wealthy families, yet Hamilton was from a very poor background, his dad worked 3 jobs to support his career. Hamilton won 2 karting titles, 2 x MB future champs series, the Sky masters series and the Autosport driver of the year award BEFORE getting help off Mclaren, and they didn't just sign him, they signed Jamie Green at the same time (Merc DTM driver).
If Hamilton got to the best teams it was because of his ability so get over it.
bmk139 2 years ago
I am not bitter at all - I think he deserved all he got, I am just saying that in FR, F3 and GP2 he was with teams proven capable of winning. I am not saying that his skill is lower than any other Grand Prix driver, probably higher than most. I don't know how we got into this from me saying that you were wrong about F3000, and then again with the "F3" comment - I don't think Hamilton is a bad driver in any way.
Lolzilol123 2 years ago
Probably because you used words like "ridiculous" & "extreme" lol.
If a driver wins titles at kadet , junior yamaha and JICA, it's only logical that he's going to go to teams like Manor & Art in single seaters.
As for the F3 series I was referring to, it has ran since the 1950's and still runs today, Senna & Hakkinen have both won it, it's a single seater 2.0 series just like Formula Renault (which you rightly pointed out Hamilton won) and GP2 is just the discontinued F3000 series anyway :-)

Alonso as good as the others, but so much clever in the race. I think Renault helped him developping what any driver need to win constitancy and championship. As he is very talented too as the footage shows it well, he is able to win any race with any car in special conditions like wet.

time will tell, i think hamilton is what the sport needed at that time a frindly "nice" polite driver for kids to look upto and a cracking driver to boot
gazz8720 2 years ago
I think that is what the media wanted us to think. I f you ask me, Button is as good as hamilton and much more polite. I was living in england the last 3 years and i can tell you that outside uk Lewis is not seen for everyone as "mr nice". ITV did a good work not showing his "dark side". And trust me, people is tired of watching Lewis father on screen every two minutes of grandprix... Alonso won two championships with his head,more than with his car.
By the way,god bless Martin Brundell

Wtf is the FIA thinking? With the new rules if alonso for example starts a race from the back of the grid his race will be pointless cause he wont have any chance of winning that race and the points he could score are not important anymore... Mosley keep partying and go home for good!!

gazz8720 2 years ago
Perhaps you can send me a link to the interviews or media stories when Hamilton was rude or bad mannered? Thats a crock of shit, and Hamilton is still the biggest crowd puller in F1. In Brazil they show Massas dad every 5mins, and now they are constantly showing Jensons dad. Whether a driver wins a title with his head or because he had incredible skills, both styles are effective in the hands of such skilled drivers. Jenson is winning because he has a car advantage(high downforce / lowweight).
bmk139 2 years ago
Jenson is winning cause is ten times better than rubens. There is no big crowd puller in f1 at the moment., he is the biggest media puller, i give you that. No one goes to a circuit to watch lewis, except uk.
I will give you links in a bit.
It is funny cause the only driver double champion is Alonso and his father or wife are NEVER on tv. Thats common sense. Massas father and lewis father made a laugh of themselves last year
