2012 Indian Grand Prix - Buddh

Alonso .............

Let's put it this way, at one point in the race, Brundle turned to croft and said

"What do you think Alonso would do in a Red Bull......he's just extraordinary"

Let's be glad he is not. It would be worse than 2000-2004.

It would be like Genghis Khan coming back, thats how Dominant it would be, Hamilton would commit murders in that car too, either of those two in that car...would be horrific.

One of the drives of the season IMO, he even set after vettel at the end and was closing in a tiny bit before he went over the limit.

The opening salvo with Hamilton and Button was world class driving at its best, Hamilton was hard but fair, button was class too, that was world class racing with precision and skill.

Observe:
Webber (with failing KERS) was 13.2 secs behind Vettel.
Button was 12.3 secs behind Hamilton.
Massa was 35.2 secs behind Alonso.


Just sayin'...

Actually, credit were credit is due: If Vettel bags it this year, it pretty much IS like 2000-2004...

Im thinking of a rule change because of all punctures we have had this race. Smaller frontwings. Get them back to 2008-spec or something similar. I think we would see less punctures.

Button was 12.3 secs behind Hamilton.
Massa was 35.2 secs behind Alonso.

But im reading on Autosport forum that the Red Bull is not a dominant car and that the cars are "pretty much equal".

One person even commented "That ferrari is a beast"

Therefore I conclude that Alonso's performance is not that impressive.

Vettel is driver of the day in my view, a proper racer, all the bulls need now is a great car and then they are set, this newey bloke has got to go, he's just not good enough.

I think you are blind. The driver of the day was Alonso by far who passed two a world champions and the second redbull. He had some risks to play with Vettel just cruised to the end and he nearly not finished breaking his floor on the kers trying to get the full monty.

He took advantage of two other cars squabbling with each other and ruining their own momentum and then overtook a car with no KERS.

Its not like he was fighting for positions, he simply walked past other people with a limp.

Lotus shot them selves in the foot with the gearing this race. Kimi hit the limiter at 310 km/h with the drs open...

You can read all the forums you want but nothing is gonna change the facts. Fool your self and be happy!

[zeph]

I think he was going for irony, no?

[0versteer]

Vettel is doing his job well, but let's be honest, right now Alonso is doing unbelivable job...

by the way, there are rumors that Alonso and Massa have different cars, the difference is floor of the car... just a rumor. And I do not think that makes a difference more than 0.1 per second... so in race pace 6-10 seconds most... There are 34 right now...

Alonso .............

Let's put it this way, at one point in the race, Brundle turned to croft and said

"What do you think Alonso would do in a Red Bull......he's just extraordinary"

That was one part of a big transfer that was planed in 2009. Along with Ross Brawn, Alonso had an offer from Red Bull... Obviously, those things didn't happen, and none of the people included aren't really going to tell much about it. Don't know how serious it was, I heard about Nando last year, this year I read that Brawn was somewhat involved too...

On account of race pace, whenever Alonso managed to get a couple of tenths off in 1st stint, both Vettel and Mark, to some extent, managed to pull out another 3-5 tenths in comparison to their previous laps. So, with that in mind, F2012 was 2nd best race car, but that's it - 2nd best. Vettel was in cruise control last 20 or so laps.

I would like to see you in the same situation. Sorry he might no been fighting for positions but he gained 3 at the end of the race.
