I mean, honestly, if ESPN carries La Liga, FOX handles the Premier League, and CBS takes over Serie A, then everyone’s actually winning for once Spanish matches are stuck at 10 PM, English games are all over the afternoon, and the Italians are on at 8 PM
Roger Wright94 said:Honestly, I don't see that day as some tragic loss. The real heartbreak happened the day before during qualifying. Besides, the championship was basically a done deal by then anyway, and everyone already knew he was packing his bags... So what is there to even regret? One more win? In that context, it wouldn't have changed a damn thing.
Personally, I’m counting 10 championships for MSC, not just the 7 official ones.
man, if he had two or three, it would be because he actually earned them on his own merit. one title from Senna carries more weight than all seven of Schumacher's combined
I’m honestly still obsessed with that defensive masterclass at Monza, where he had to hold off Schumacher for half the race despite having a car that was basically a second faster than everyone else on the grid—absolute respect right there
Man, I remember that race like it happened yesterday; for me, that stands as Fernando's greatest win, period. Keeping a car that's a full second per lap faster behind you for 13 straight laps is no joke (especially when it's an MSC, which Pilatus claims is the GOAT, lol). My heart was absolutely pounding, my hands were sweating buckets, and honestly, when he finally crossed that finish line, I actually shed a tear of pure joy
If we're talking about legendary drives in that same tier, you've got his first win in Canada, that home victory in Spain, and those two races in Brazil where he finally locked down the World Championship
Alonso is feeling pretty pumped about how the del R28 is coming along (F1 Barcelona Testing - Alonso) Fernando Alonso is seriously digging the progress they’ve made on the del R28 today. They managed to shave off some tenths, which puts them right back in the rearview mirror of those Ferraris and McLarens, and honestly, it looks like they might actually give the Red Bulls and Williams Racing a run for their money soon enough. [15/04/2008] Ana Pitarch Fernando Alonso checking out the fresh aero setup. Source: Renault Alonso. It seems like Fernando Alonso is genuinely stoked with how the del R28 is evolving after getting his hands on all those new aerodynamic upgrades during this first session.
"I had some really good vibes with the car today and we seem reasonably competitive, but let's be real—we can't go overboard looking at the lap times since half the grid is out here running slicks," Fernando Alonso remarked after a super productive day. "We’re making actual, tangible progress and testing these new parts that have been performing beautifully. We knocked out 119 laps, which is basically two full race distances, so we're feeling good, but obviously, we've still got a mountain of work to do tomorrow."
basically saying Fernando is happy with the Renault progress and that they're closing the gap on McLaren and Ferrari
@Jason Campbell70/">@@Jason Campbell70 Remind me again, who actually came out on top here?They were basically dead even once you factor in all the hand-holding from the FIA.
honestly who even cares who the fastest driver is because we all know Fernando is the absolute GOAT when you look at the whole package and right now, our biggest wildcard hope is definitely Kubica
@hollowhawk412—so I just noticed everyone completely glossed over that comment from Dennis about how they totally trashed Heikki Kovalainen back at General Motors and how he basically had a massive career rebirth once he jumped over to McLaren...
and then this guy hits him back with the claim that Dennis has been low-key screwing him over...
honestly, all I can say is that Ron Dennis is a complete and utter moron.
