With the British media undoubtely going to be up in arms about this (James Allen was close to reaching for his gun!), how will the Alonso tactic, if deliberate, will be received around the world?

It would be interesting to hear from our members based outside the UK on this matter

UK-'This man should be executed for high treason against King Lewis'

Spain-'Especial Alonso!'

USA-'No one gives a damn here anymore'

Hungary-'Something interesting finally happens at Magyar Nagydij'

First of all, we need to proof Alonso has done it on purpose. He appears he was arguing with his team about the tyre choice since Hami had done best times with softs one. But off course, without knowing the facts the British media and Hami's supporters will crucify Alonso, as usual.

Australian media, except Australians -'This man should be executed for high treason against King Lewis' That's because here we always copy the British Media all the time. <roflmao>

RTL appear to infer that it was was a deliberate move to delay Hamilton.

Dennis says it was Hamiltons fault that the situation arose in the first place. If the British media have any brains (which they dont) they shouldnt mention it.

Now call be a great big cynic if you like, but would I be correct in assuming that your problem with Lewis is the fact that he is English? Obviously, being Scottish must be really hard, given the fact that Scottish people are generally worse at sport than English people, but I find it rather petty to castigate someone just because of their nationality.

Oh, and by the way, in the ENGLISH language, there is no such word as "EXEMPLERY". Maybe you should rethink your sig.

You cant pick faults with me mate until you admit yourself. The hate and complete lack of respect to drivers you show is imbarassing, so dont even start bud you act like a fool considering you post on an f1 forum you should try and be a bit more rational.

On what you are saying about Scotland, its a country with a tenth of the population of England so even a retard could work out that England should be superior in sports including f1.

Judging by your spelling, it would appear that a retard has come to that conclusion.

Hmmm but it doesn't quite work like that:

Athens Olympics, 2004

Australia (pop. ~20.4 million): 17 Gold, 16 Silver, 16 Bronze (49 total)

Great Britain (pop. ~60.8 million): 9 Gold, 9 Silver, 12 Bronze (30 total)

Well it certainly gives you a huge advantage, also in Scotland there is a distinct lack of funds in all sports. That coupled with only 5 million people tells you England should do considerably better in all sports. Australia being the exception as far as populations are concerned.
