However, his problem was he was gutsy - borderline reckless, and ussually got overcarried. Alonso is gutsy as well, but rarely to the point of senselessly throwing a race away, and has shown much better damage limitation and risk assesment than Montoya ever did.
Dont want to watch damage limitation.

And yet it took you like 5 posts and almost a full page to explain your post...
EDIT: Oh and I forgot...

Anyway, there's not that much wall hitting in that video at all. A bunch of semi-spins, recovers and some rear tyre puncture spins.... sure the Brazil crash was something else, but it was far from being his fault. Also the crash in Canada where he was chasing closely on the race winning BMW and spun slightly, and yet no one drools over it for justification of his greatness... unlike Lewis' Monza move where he messed up a podium chasing rainbows.
I bet if anyone made a compilation like this about either Juan Pablo or Lewis it would be much more convincing.racechick wrote:the explanation was one post for DD cos I know he's interested in languages.not interested... OBSESSED

And Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more exciting
Oh yeah non of those spins and crashes were anything to do with Alonso, of course.
