Kimi smiled. We so have to stay lj friends so that we can weave our Ferrari magic again next year!
Yeah, I was sad for Michael, but at the same time, he was so far ahead of everyone else (including the red-team designers at the end there) that I could see why he wanted to retire. I was so cranky with the team for not building him cars that could stay together long enough for him to take all the wins he looked course for.
I feel sorry for Rubens this year: nil points! It's as though he's the UK Eurovision entry ... And yeah, I think that it's easy to forget to work hard enough to become the best when you are surrounded by the best. But Felipe seems to be working well with Michael, so maybe next year he'll be up the frint the whole way through instead of a bit erratic.
As to Alonso's ego, I agree that he is v painful, especially in comparison with Lewis, but I can't help wondering how much of that is just Spanish idiom not translating well. And he was their golden haired boy at Renault, then into Ron's machine at McLaren, you can see why it might have been a shock. Especially when they all so clearly hate him!
On the topic of evil Ron, he's apparently lodged a protest. In the interests of 'fairness', ie, we were busted for Stepney, it's not fair!
We may need to flock some of our posts for the 08 season if we can crap on this much in comments! Yay us!!
