Huh? Donington 1993, Qualifying at Spa in 1994, did I imagine them?
No, I don't think so. But I was only four and five years old respectively at those times. And I didn't start watching until 1998 :P

But recently, I mean. I may be proven wrong. But last year he definitely seemed to struggle a bit. Then again, there's the RA107 that could be blamed for that. I guess it's relative, really. A lot of the races I've seen, he's dropped back in the rain, from being up at the top. Though now that I think about it, he was in inferior cars in those times...

True but that was a lottery as to who hit that corner and aquaplained off before they brought out the safety car. Nothing you can do if your car is a boat :(

Which to be fair to Alonso is pretty much what happened to him at Fuji, judging by that YouTube clip which I hadn't seen before.

He's not bad in the rain at all. But he's nothing like Jenson.

Yeah - Jenson's early laps at Fuji, where he set competitive lap times despite having lost his front wing, was about as impressive as anything I've ever seen.

That's true.

Incidentally I got into a number of discussions about that particular aspect of Nürburgring that I didn't enjoy much, to be honest...
