Methinks it was deliberate. He seemed to get pole with no problems! Ron's gonna go nuts! You don't mess with Ron! |

I'm pretty sure he did it deliberately, despie what he may claim in later interviews. To be fair, it worked out spectacularly. But I wouldn't want to be in his shoes when he explains himself to Ron Dennis. |

The moral of the story then - don't stack your cars in the pits! |

Looks like we could have another Senna-Prost situation here. Hamilton does not look happy at all |

Hamilton looked severely ****ed off in the interview. Alonso says he held in order to avoid being held up by the Ferrari. Hmm.

I thought he was referring to the other time he stopped in the pitlane when his tyre warmer got tangled up. I liked the way Hamilton gave Alonso a dirty look when he was asked that question though! |

Mclaren blame Ferrari for that one as well The body language on Ron coming from the pit lane and Lewis in the after qualifying conference tells me Alonso devised this one up to ensure on the grid.Looks like the gloves are off on the race track now, and Alonso can play a lot dirtier than Lewis. |

Yeah! Hami still have to learn. Imagine Ron and Alonso having a punch up like Tost and Speed. I mean Alonso appears to have f**ed up Ron's adopted son after all .

I asked the question after a few races if we had another Senna v Prost in the making and now i think we are seeing the start of it. What Alonso did was wrong but it will benefit him tomorrow and us for the rest of the season Roll on the race
