So, are McLaren going to get slapped wrists for releasing Alonso too early in the pit lane leaving him to nearly take out another car?!
Given his display of sportsmanship today, I wouldn't be sad to see him docked points ;)

If you're racing for McLaren, no such thing will happen to you. The FIA are all McLaren sheep.

Sound familiar bud? :roll:

I dont see what's wrong with banging wheels, just watch this from about the 2:30 point and you'll see LOTS of wheel banging between Gilles Villeneuve and Rene Arnoux and neither of them were complaining afterwards.

I don't think Lewis would be complaining either.

Banging wheels is racing. What did he expect Massa to? Pull over to the side, wave him through and say 'After you, Fernando-baby?'

All good sportsmanship and racing in my book. Bit of honest defending - nothing deliberate.

they were talking in italian which is similar to spanish but i couldnt understand it. Probably were talking about the weather???? :wink: .

Anyway i think Alonso had no reason to complain. He should enjoy his great victory.

Alonso apologised to Massa during post race press conference. He'd be my driver of the day had he just celebrated the victory without having altercations with Massa.

Part of the conversation was the following (hard to understand because the sound wasn't great and the commentators were talking through part of it): After some talking that wasn't audible, FM asked whether FA wants to win in this fashion? (asking several times). FM then walks away saying FA needs to learn to which FA replies something about 3 laps and in front of the entire world.

I was gutted for Kimi and I was also thrilled for Fernando. I felt he worked very hard for that win so it was well deserved, But damn, he had to go act like a baby after. So did Massa but since he didn't win I didn't have any expectations for him.
