"horrors of the past"

I've been chuckling for about 5 minutes at that.

I wouldn't really class "racing drivers has crash and gets slightly injured then fully recovers" as a horror of the past. I would reserves that sort of thing more for the Rwandan Genocide, the Haiti Earthquake or the Boxing Day Sunami.

I would neither call it "slighly injured". He did have to miss the opening round due the concussion.

But yeah, calling it horrors of the past is excagerated. Too much was made about it due the accident being in the wake of the Bianchi shock crash. Alonso fully recovered and there's simply nothing new on the subject.

I would be tempted to call a 55 page thread about it a horror of the past.

Don´t you guys have some curiosity about this?

Really?

Supposedly there was a report in progress wich should explain the accident, but one year later we´re still waiting...


If you´re not interested and for you this is something of the past, what are you doing posting here?
But some of us are interested, and would like to hear/read some oficial explanation

There isn't anything to be curious about. The season as a whole has shown very, very well that there was nothing wrong.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing what this "mistery" is.

I went up there, to turn three during testing this year and asked the marshalls what happened back then, but when they grasped what I was up to they pretended they couldn't speak English anymore and mumbled something like: Alonso will be driving at 14h and gave me thumps up. Yeah, sure I thought, that was what I was asking :wink: and gave thumps up too.
