This time Fernando made us eat our words (finally!). This is probably the most comfortable Fernando has looked during a race weekend all year and when he hooks it up, he really hooks it up. One can’t help but feel he had even more pace in the car, but just controlled the race. [...] […] Ok, so last time we vented about Fernando Alonso being unimpressive during the Turkish Grand Prix.

Could this be the race that Lewis and Alonso take each other out in the first corner? The stage is set, let's hope so! P.S.

McLaren 1-2 on the grid and Heidfeld in between the (very slow) Ferraris! Kimi's accident, half second of the pace - things not looking good. If it was any other team I'd say it's over, but it's not any other team - it's Ferrari and I am expecting some Kimi magic this afternoon! COME ON GUYS!!!!

Stephen - Lewis and Alonso are getting along great....just ask Ron Denis ;) I am also looking forward to this weekend. The stands are sure to be a sea of red at Monza. What better place for a McLaren 1-2 finish? Paula- Enjoying your comments, always a good response (even if you do give Alonso too much credit for being handed a podium ;) dScribe - I agree, a good tight 4 way battle would be great. Why not throw Heidfeld in the mix for some real interest? Hahaha! Stephen - Lewis and Alonso are getting along great….just ask Ron Denis ;)

Was thinking of you though hehe ;) I guess the reality is this - what would have happened if Lewis' tyre didn't fail? As much as many of us would have loved Fernando to catch him and try to pass, it wouldn't have happened. It would have been another race where Lewis increased his championship lead. Fernando really needs to get it together in Q3. I just can't wait until Fernando and Lewis are both on the front of the grid. I'm certain Fernando won't yield into the first corner as he's done in the past to avoid an accident :) Hi Paula.. yes, very late this time sorry.. Was thinking of you though hehe ;)

Should have seen MY face when Alonso overtook the "staggering" Lewis on the track. Best is still to come....can't wait.. dScribe.. hmmmmm…very late…and you start with the headline “Alonso not impressive”, not good, should have been more on the lines of “Lewis’s wheels finally fall off” lol, or maybe “Alonso claws his way back to third”…damn, but Hamilton was lucky to get a fifth place, it is uncanny.

In Turkey he didn't have any damage, didn't go off the track, but just seemed slow. He lacked the <em>spark</em> that he usually shows even during tough race weekends. Anyway, let's hope we can have a 4-way battle at the front one day instead of 2 Ferrari's or 2 McLaren's running off with one of the other cars struggling to keep pace in 3rd..
