Why isn't Alonso slammed the was MS was for the qualifing mishap?

I'm not referring to Kubica; I'm referring to the alleged blocking of Massa during qualifying where Massa wasn't even within 100 meters of Fernando and Fernando was penalized for interfering with Massa's qualifying attempt. That was total BS and a shot at gifting MS the win. Plain and simple.

Excellent post, GoFerrari28.

 

If course not, why would he complain? His teammates were contractually obligated to support him.

 

So Senna3xWC...i see that your subscribed now. cool avatar

 

Thanks, Brian.

Does that mean I can bust your balls about not subscribing now?

 

My memory isn't perfect so forgive me if I'm incorrect on this but I think there was a precedent for the Monza penalty earlier in the year. Probably at the European GP, JV "held up" Fisi in Q2 in the exact same way as Alonso did to Massa. He appeared to be far enough ahead of Fisi but the stewards came down on him anyway because he was on his out lap while Fisi was on a flyer. I thinkt the penalty was also the same. Maybe someone here recalls that or can find it somewhere?

I'm not saying Alonso's penalty was right or wrong, just that since it was consistent with previous rulings, it would indicate that maybe there was no conspiracy as Alonso claimed.

 

I agree with everything you've said. Great post!!!

 

You're correct. The stewards were a little too aggressive in '06, imo, handing out penalties like traffic cops. Going back to whichever race had the Alonso/Kubica issue, I thought the penalty against Schumacher was stupid, as it was obvious that Alonso (intelligently, mind you) caught him off-guard and slammed on the brakes to force him to pass under a yellow. Discretion should have led to no penalty against Schumacher, but the stewards once again were consistent in handing down their (questionable) penalties.

 

I will definitely give you that one. A coworker of mine calls Kimi "the car breaker".

 

Precisely.

 

That's pretty much how Enzo Ferrari referred to Gilles Villeneuve - he called him the Prince of Destruction. Look at how fondly he is remembered now - hell, GV is the only one who has a statue at the Ferrari factory.

 

No you will never see the end of it because he was and will be the benchmark for a long time to come just as there will always be the same 3 or 4 in here that will bash him every chance they get. Stretching infantile points into oblivious arguments. But never is there mention by them of all the good he has done for Ferrari and the sport. He treated everyone around him like family including the italian restaurant in italy where he would treat the entire team to dinners that he would cook in the back kitchen with the owners. And then there was the tsunami that killed hundreds of thousand last year where he quickly sent 1 million dollars to help out in the relief efforts. And it goes on and on and on. There are many who will never be happy with MS and the many good things hes done. Thats just the way it is and unfortunately always will be...

 

That's incorrect. He actually sent 10 Million. But I'm sure someone here will just say that makes him 10 times as much of an ****** by some twisted logic...

 

It's easy to be against something or someone. Much harder to be for something or someone.

All of us are human, less than perfect and have feet of clay. So I ask, if you don't like Schumi who is arguably the greatest auto racing driver of all time, who are you for???

What driver has done more for the sport?
What driver has done more for Ferrari?

Please back up with data.

Forza Ferrari

 

+1 tired of seeing the same few people bash him as well

 

I said it was wrong!, we are on the same page mate . Doing something wrong is a problem IMO.

Good point. Time will tell the true character of LH.

No problem. Senna3xWC will let you use his.

 

LoL! what bout your, Phil?

 

You're so funny..... who started this thread? - "Why isn't Alonso slammed the way MS was"

Your title states that- MS was slammed. I'm not bashing MS....I'm answering your question.

You're the guy giving MS a bashing by starting this thread after so much time has gone by, and instead of forgetting MS at his worst, you are keeping it alive with a thread that if answered keeps MS's shameful moment in the spotlight. LOL

Going on 600 views for a topic that most of us were willing to let fade into the past

I don't have a credit card. Senna3xWC was gracious enough to let me use his. Great guy. Really. Handsome devil too.
