Way off topic though.

He beat him after Alonso didn’t like that Hamilton was putting it up to him. Everyone talks about Hamilton’s attitude but of Alonso had a better one he wouldn’t have burned bridges with nearly every team he’s ever driven for.

Faugheen wrote: » My apologies. Either way he won the tie-breaker. He beat Alonso, a two-time defending champion, as a rookie. Dry your eyes and accept facts. Hamilton is one of the greatest of all time. The fact the same bull**** comes up every weekend is tiring.

Infoanon wrote: » That's not how these situations play out - there is a question mark over the tyres - 4 failures - safety will be the grounds for change.
