i agree with everything you said... but NO Nando. even if RB runs away with it i agree with everything you said... but NO Nando. even if RB runs away with itWell, looks like RB isn’t going to run away with it this weekend (at least as far as Vettel is concerned).
But please remind me - what was it that Alonso did at McLaren that has caught your disfavor? Must’ve slipped my mind, or perhaps it isn’t brought up in every other broadcast like the sins of MS in past days. (In temporary ignorance of Alonso’s misdeeds: I like the guy. Focused, not bitching about the recent accidents which were none of his fault, driving the t*ts off an underperforming Ferrari...)
Back to today’s post-qualy comments by Horner:
“As a result, the FIA has excluded Sebastian from qualifying and we will withdraw the car from Parc Ferme in order to investigate further. Therefore Sebastian will start from the pit lane for tomorrow’s race. We will need to make the most of Mark’s strong front-row grid position and Sebastian will have a busy evening ahead of him.”
Note the second part of that first sentence! “Withdraw the car from Parc Ferme in order to investigate further”! Could be that they knew full well that something was toast and now they can fix it out of Parc Ferme conditions...
As to tomorrow: If Alonso survives the start and first few corners (Maldonado right up there in the fray!!!) he’ll make up a few points on Vettel and it’ll be even again for the next round in Texas.
Ecclestone engineering at its finest!
