GP Germany - 07/25/2010

Ferrari's own Fernando Alonso is basically saying he doesn't feel bad at all about how he snatched that US Grand Prix victory...

what a total loser 🤮

Would they really be fools if they didn't pull out every single tool in their arsenal just to clinch the title? I mean, when you think about it, isn't that exactly what greatness requires?

If we’re being completely honest with ourselves here—and I mean truly, brutally honest—Felipe Massa was sitting 31 points behind Fernando Alonso and roughly 80 points adrift of Lewis Hamilton. Looking at those numbers, can anyone really stand there, without a shred of embarrassment, and argue that Massa had any realistic shot at clinching the championship with a deficit like that? It just seems mathematically impossible, doesn't it?
It looks like Fernando Alonso is going to have a hell of a time trying to close that 34-point gap to Lewis Hamilton before the season wraps up, let alone actually snatching the championship away. As for Felipe Massa, honestly, it feels like an almost impossible mission at this stage.

Those people drawing comparisons back to 2002 are honestly barking up the wrong tree. Back then, MS had such a massive lead in the championship that it wouldn't have mattered if Red Bull had let him through or not. For anyone who caught the latest episode of Top Gear a couple of weeks ago, you probably heard the actual truth about what went down—something that certain analysts clearly haven't bothered to grasp. It wasn't even a case of Red Bull needing to let him past on that final lap; the real story is that the team was locked in this heated argument with the pit wall for the last eight laps. It only happened because they finally pulled rank and issued a threat to him... though I won't say exactly what that threat was.
At the end of the day, it really comes down to the championship hunt. It’s perfectly understandable why they made that move, regardless of whether you think it was fair or not. Money moves the needle in this world, doesn't it? ☕

Every Friday, but honestly, just take Formula 1 off this PDF because this kind of behavior is an absolute disgrace to the sport.

stormybadger8 said:So what, Hamilton and Vettel aren't in the title hunt either? 🤣

I mean, when was the last time you saw Mark Webber or Jenson Button getting told to brake mid-corner or listening to those idiotic radio strategies?🤣

We’ve only really seen this kind of mess at Ferrari. It doesn't happen often, and then on top of that, Alonso starts analyzing everything, claiming how perfectly he hit the apex while Massa apparently had "some issues."🤣

How far behind is Massa, and how far is Vettel from the lead? What are you even talking about? Telling those guys at McLaren, "don't worry about saving fuel anymore"—it's just so transparent and pathetic...👎
It's obvious. Massa is the second driver, trailing significantly in points, and he's helping the team by letting Alonso through since he's still in the hunt for the championship. It's all very simple...☕

Real classy.🤣
Damn, being a fan is everything. You seriously can't see past your own nose, can you?☕

Honestly, the only fans who can't see past their own noses are the total crybabies whining about this. ☕

Look, the rest of us actually understand how things work in the real world. 😉

Joseph Young57 said:This Ferrari squad—and especially Alonso—is such an absolute dumpster fire that it actually makes me sick.
God, I hope his engine just blows up and dies completely.

Alonso is such a massive crybaby. It kills me even thinking about how I used to root for him over Hamilton, when Hamilton is clearly the master behind the wheel compared to this little brat.

The whining and Ferrari are truly a match made in heaven.

Schumi finally got the successor he actually deserved, and honestly, it's more than enough🤣

Edward Howard2 said:Jenson Button let Lewis Hamilton back past and then he was gone, totally out of reach. 😉
They were saving fuel. 🤣

Yeah, he let him through. Back then, you rarely saw real overtaking in Formula 1 because everyone was just letting people pass... and that's how it happened, he just gave him the spot and they ended up touching in Turn 1. It was a clean pass... 😂😂 Usually, if you're doing your own thing and someone goes by, that's an overtake. But today? You could just look at Massa's telemetry and see it was purely yielding the position, not actually being outpaced...

EDIT: Ferrari summoned by US GP Stewards :P

And Massa has zero chance 🤣

God, the logic. How many points is Massa behind Hamilton that he supposedly has "no chance"? Before today's race, there were still 225 points left on the table—hardly more than what Hamilton has. Seriously, what kind of logic is that? Chandok still mathematically has a shot at the title.☕

Under the old scoring system, Massa was trailing less than Vettel was behind Button after the first 10 races last year.

Massa has a shot, just not against this slippery guy.

And you guys attack Red Bull because of some damn wing that Webber didn't even want, then whine about how the team favors Vettel, how Webber is a pathetic No. 2 driver, and how Vettel and the Red Bull leadership are cowards.🙄

Just go hide in a hole out of pure embarrassment.👎

👍
Exactly.

That guy is only being propped up because if it weren't for that situation, he'd be facing the exact same fate Lewis did at McM.
He probably still remembers those humiliations, which is why he's whining and begging for a chance to finally be number one.☕
"I wanna be first, please, please!"—give me a break.😁

Bravo Ferrari 🙏
They could have handled the release a bit more subtly—not that it matters much. If I were running the team, I’d probably do the exact same thing—tell Mass to let his teammate through if he actually has a shot at the title.
As for the rest of you complaining, I'm curious—how would you handle things if you were actually in charge?

mistybear87 said:In case anyone was wondering, Ferrari has been called in before the stewards regarding a potential controversy involving their team orders ☕

Where on earth did you find that?

Honestly, there’s a decent chance they were just taking the piss out of the other teams and having a laugh at the rules. 😁

"Fernando is fast... confirm receipt of message" 🙏 🙏 Man, give me a break. 🤣 It doesn't get any more blunt than that, really. 😂

Man, I wish I had 10,000 slaves ready to do my bidding, but apparently the rules won't let me... just like they won't let them do this.

Wait, what am I supposed to remove from which PDF? 🤷

After his win last race, Webber said in a fury: "Not bad for a second driver." That shows exactly how he feels, because he knows who the favorite is within the 😢 team. Even so, he’s pulled more wins this year than that kid who keeps embarrassing himself by failing to win even when starting from pole in the fastest car on the grid...😁
And Horner is the biggest hypocrite of them all, lecturing everyone else while running a double standard in his own garage. I'm honestly more disgusted by them than those hacks over at McLaren...👎

can the aero box actually mess with how the car handles on track? 😕

He's easily the biggest jerk out there right now 🤣

They tried to pull the same stunt themselves 🤣. Since they have a total loose cannon (🙂) on the team, it clearly didn't work out too well for them 🤣🤣

I wouldn't go that far, though I guess those Italians can be pretty shady and evasive at times. 😬
