Alonso will NOT be driving for McLaren at the Melbourne GP.  

Kevin Magnussen will replace Alonso who is sitting out on medical advice following his 215kph/134mph crash on 22nd February.

bit of a strange one that...maybe he was injured more than they are letting on or he thinks the car is dangerous and has said "ow my necko is soreo so I willo be sittingo outo of the next raceo"


I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

There's more to the injury report than we first suspected.  This is what is being reported that Alonso said when asked who he was at the hospital.

Quote"I'm Fernando, I'm in karts and want to become Formula 1 driver," he told doctors who asked him who he was and what he remembered about the accident, according to Le Pais newspaper.

I predict Hamilton will do it again this year but Ferrari will be on their toes and just ahead of Williams and Mclaren, Ricardo will also be in the mix but RB struggling overall again

Interesting point made by Alonso yesterday bemoaning the lack of speed with today's F1 cars.

Quote"They were eight seconds quicker," the 33-year-old said of the cars from his title-winning seasons with Renault in 2005 and 2006.
"The engineers did some calculations. The winner of Malaysia this year would have been lapped six times by the winner of Malaysia in 2006.

Its not about how fast you are these days, its about how slow you can go and still win.

All the fancy aerodynamics that make it nigh on impossible for them to overtake each other, and they are 8 seconds slower? F1 really isn't heading in the right direction is it? :(

What can I say.  Absolutely stunned. And that's the understatement of the decade.

[Spoiler=Monaco] What the duck were they thinking?  I have never been so gobsmacked by the idiocy of the decision to pit Lewis under the safety car. I mean, why? For what benefit? Un bloody believable. [/spoiler]

Yes I've seen that as well :D

Crass negligence. These people are *the* best money can buy.

A thorough drains-up, forensic enquiry into who and why is the least that should happen alongside a massive apology to LH for an unforgivable error.

You can tell that I'm gutted and angry in equal measure.

I thought Lewis handled himself really well afterwards. He was clearly livid when Martin Brundle stuck a mic in his face and asked him how he was feeling....
