RAAAAARGH!!!! GIFT CARDS ARE FUCKING RETARDED!!!!

(I need a hug)
Ron doesn't want to blame the car, but the world doesn't want to see Alonso in a loser.
Rather than talk about conspiracies, it's about time we all worked together to protect Alonso's legacy and stop him carrying on I think.

Look at that Jerk Lewis, clearly driving that overloaded cart with no regard for the safety of any of his passengers. It's this kind of carelessness with human life, ingrained in him from growing up on the mean streets of Stevenage, that make him a danger on and off the track. He should be banned from racing anything, IMO.

I've made a huge mistake.
F1 edition of Question of Sport on the BBC

Horner: "We've got two ex-McLaren drivers here"
DC "Kevin still is"
Horner: "Of sorts"

Probably the only time I'll chuckle with Horner this year.

See, this really impresses me but I've never been able to get into rallying because it's just a series of time trials. Even when I was young and BBC2 were using Propaganda for the theme tune I still couldn't connect with it. I'd love it if they raced against each other but there's no chance.

I hope Alonso can get out of his McLaren contract and sign for Manor, he's not going to score any points this season anyway.

ron dennis is an autist rear end in a top hat, obviously, but i had no idea he was that loving stupid. you can't say someone had a head injury involving a loss of consciousness but it wasn't a concussion. ANY loss of consciousness automatically qualifies as a severe concussion under most diagnostic scales. what a complete loving retard.

I cant understand why they are saying both 'hes totally fine, not a scratch on him! Tip top shape!' and 'well were not totally sure if he will be ready to go racing almost 4 weeks after the pretty minor accident...'

Like if they are 99.99999% sure Alonso is fine, just loving say 'Yep he'll be there for Melbourne GP!'. At the rate Mclaren are going it will be a very short race anyway.

they're done for the day, hydraulic leak forcing them to change the whole engine. seven laps. how the gently caress are these problems not found out in stationary testing? it seems like they never even turned the thing on.
