racechick wrote:"Did Petrov keep Alonso behind fair and square? how come he didnt do the same when he had Lewis behind in Hungary?" cant remember, but maybe lewis can overtakeWell, he couldnt overtake in Abu Dhabi; and neither could Webber, Massa, Alonso....... in the same track. Doesnt mean neither are unable to overtake, just that in that track, its pretty difficult. When you add that a SC lottery, and some guys fighting for a championship with others far from it mixed inbetween.... you come up with guys able to "hold someone behind for half a GP" with a bit different merit than ussual. Specially when another one of the mixed-ins made it pretty easy for a car with the same name to get by....

racechick wrote:Life's tough in the fast lane. If you cant stand the heat..........Correct. In fairness, though, part of Alonso's inability to overtake was down to the fact that the Renault was the fastest car in a straight line thanks to their F-duct, which they definitely got right this season.
It was hard to overtake, Tilke's fault. But actually Lewis did overtake (Kobi) and others overtook too.

racechick wrote:Yes undoubtably the track was grim. But it was grim for everyone. the only thing that made the race exciting was the title. Bin it. Along with Valencia, Bahrain, Catalunya. And thats before I really start thinking.
