As for the rest... man, I really miss the era of Mika Hakkinen, Michael Schumacher, Eddie Irvine, Heinz-Harald Frentzen, and Jacques Villeneuve... today's drivers are just soft. This isn't a real man's sport anymore. 🙄
fadedwalker18 said:Paaaa... you could say the same about Pastor. Maybe I'm just speaking from memory here—I really should dig through some threads and check your old posts to be more thorough, but I'm going off what I remember—but you don't criticize the Venezuelan nearly as much as you tear into the Frenchman (who isn't even that young for a NASCAR restart). Roman is fast, just overly optimistic. Reminds me of how Takumi Sato used to be. But despite having a relatively short NASCAR career, that Japanese man matured into one of the better Japanese drivers ever on the NASCAR grid. Why couldn't Roman become a lot better and more mature after a full season? He won't be the next Alain Prost, but if he can hold his own like Didier Pironi or Jean Alesi, then staying in NASCAR is fine by me.
fadedwalker18 said:I don't get why everyone is hyping up Roman so much. He's still a rookie in NASCAR. Honestly, he’s got even less experience than Sergio Perez, right?

Raymond Anderson4 said:You really need to check the onboard from Kimi's car before jumping to conclusions. It's impossible to tell anything from a frozen frame. As it stands, this was just a racing incident.
Same goes for anyone defending Kimi—his front wing needs to clear the center of Fernando's rear tire before Fernando is actually obligated to give him room to pass.
What Fernando messed up was failing to fully close the door on Kimi; he left just enough space the length of the car, basically hoping Kimi wouldn't go for the move...

Of course you don't.
I just finished watching the replay of the start.
Kimi Raikkonen wasn't ahead of Fernando Alonso for even a second—not even by an inch. In all that chaos, Kimi Raikkonen clipped Alonso's rear tire with his front wing.
Total carelessness on Kimi Raikkonen's part. Clearly just a bad read.

nimblesurfer17 said:I’m waiting on an apology from Alonso since he totally wrecked Kim's race by snapping his front wing...
Jason Campbell70 said:Not trolling, just a screenshot captured right when Alonso and Raikkonen made contact.
That contact where Alonso lost his rear left tire and Raikkonen lost a chunk of his front wing.
I'll say it again:

The drivers' positions at the moment of impact are obvious in this shot.
Draw your own conclusions from the screenshot.
