They routinely sedated Raikkonnen before the press conferences.

Fernando is smugger than you. Can you confirm you understand that message?
Is it possible that this is a massive overreaction by the Spanish medical staff, media and marshals? I mean, could we have expected the same thing if this was a test held in Stevenedge and the driver was Hamilton in a Spanish-run team (however unlikely)

It's Alonso knowing the car's poo poo to get out of this year... he can't help screwing Ron over

It must have been a hell of a gust of wind to blow an F1 car off the track like that. McLaren have built the F1 equivalent of a panel van.

Maybe the stolen Ferrari tech specs included the plans for their hopeless wind tunnel, and McLaren have been using the same design since 2009.

I think the point is that a car designed to have high down force and have sticky racing slicks on it should not be blown into a wall by a gust of wind.

He wasn't blown into a wall, he was blown slightly wide onto astroturf, lost traction and couldn't correct enough to avoid hitting the wall on the inside of the corner.

Race cars crash sometimes. Sometimes they do it in weird and pretty dumb ways, but they still do crash.

Also, sometimes people driving the fast race cars get hurt when they crash. How the hell is any of this worthy of all the attention it's getting?

Maybe next time Ron will build his car out of sticks. Seems like the straw used in v.1 was a failure.

Initially people were confused that Alonso was hurt as the car was essentially undamaged, without realising that Alonso was hurt because the car was essentially undamaged. Plus nothing happening, yeah.

Let's talk about how much of a fraud Vettel is instead :D

I sincerely hope Vettel doesn't have much success at Ferrari, not out of spite, but more because I'm running out of energy to hate the guy. I need a new villain.

Hamilton will do I think. Boo fraud Hamilton.

i will admit to forgetting how physics works. he hit the wall flush and F1 suspensions don't deflect at all unless they break, which they didn't. all the energy went straight through the car.
