I would love to see Alonso win the world title just to piss off people like you who's hatred of a guy (Alonso) is almost scary, its like he has done something personally in your life. You need to get a grip mate.


People like that do need to get a grip, you're right. As do people who actively wish to piss of other forum users who they've never met :)

Oh, come on! RBR would never do such a thing as what Ferrari did today. Only they can stoop solow and what's more, get away with it.

In Brazil 2010 RBR gave no team orders when Vettel was leading in Brazil and Webber running second when the Aussie had a substantial points lead over his teammate. RBR could not have known at that stage that Vettel would be on pole in the next race in Abu Dhabi, much less go on to win it. With Alonso leading the group, it would have been in their interest to ask Vettel to let Webber through in Brazil and yet they did not do it.

I have lost what little respect I had for Massa. He has lost all pride and allowed himself to be a lapdog for the money. This is out and out cheating and I hope that Alonso crashes out of the race. He no longer deserves to win the title.

Perhaps anger should be being directed towards the fact that the potential disparity between the clean and dirty side of the grid is prompting this sort of action...

Spot on,

I'm surprised more people haven't made noise about this. The FIA seem completely unconcerned that somebody qualifying in 2nd should be at a disadvantage to someone qualifying 3rd for example, it makes qualifying a bit of a farce really.

The FIA coulc've cleaned the track as Hamilton suggested, possibly moved the even number slots forward closer to the preceeding odd ones or who knows, maybe pressure washed the rubber off the clean side. If they're capable of installing new curbs overnight, you'd think they could do something in this instance.

If you seriously think they walked up to felipe and said "would you mind?" then you know bugger all about how Ferrari works.

Felipe gets zero say on anything there. The only reason he's still there is because he knows he wouldn't get a drive anywhere else.

Really does make me laugh some of the comments on this thread

Vettel haters gonna hate

Alonso haters gonna hate

Its just how it rolls,

And I have forgotten that RB haven't done a single thing wrong this year (or last year) they haven't manipulated the rules, nor broke them, nor used them to their advantage at all

Hmm.. surprised at the number of people saying smart move by ferrari.

May be they are within the rules, but they are sodding massa over and over. This is a sport guys, there is no essence to the sport if you influence too many things non-sporting to get a result.

My respect for alonso dropped a bit here. May be this is what he was saying all along "red bull have a faster car, we are a better team". he knows ferrari will make massa bend over backwards to keep alonso happy.

Vettel for WDC 2012.

Not a Ferrari/Alonso/Red Bull/Vettel fan. Not in the slightest. But I'd be concerned if any team didn't do this. If the rules allow it, which they currently do, then it has to be done.


Is it in the spirit of the rules though? I don't think so. It will be yet another rule which the FIA will need to change to stop it happening again. I actually blame the FIA just as much as Ferrari for this. Allowing the 'dirty' side become so much of an issue and allowing a rule to be abused in such a ridiculous way.

Are double diffusers or flexi wings in the spirit of the rules?

Sticking to the non-existent "spirit of the rules" won't get you anywhere in F1. Ferrari's design department has found that out the hard way.


The thing is, Ferrari have affected other people's starting positions with this. Some have benefited by going from the dirty to clean side and from what I can see, Senna will go from clean to dirty side. There could be a big row over this depending on what happens at the start. The rule will have to be changed.

Why would RBR risk move Alonso even closer to Vettel regardless the dirty side.
I have no problem with this at all. Teams take advantage of rules all the time. Last race I thought RBR will not be allowed to change gear ratios. I was proved wrong. This when there is a mention in rules about specifics about changing ratios.
Now Ferrari has done this when the is nothing in rules. Just like the was nothing in rules about the now illegal parts that Redbull raced this year.

Not to mention now everyone except Grosjean will be starting on the side where they actually qualified on merit. Alonso was 9th. He moved to bad side due to Grosjeans penalty.

If this prompts rule change, good. But as I said before, or would have been stupid of Ferrari not to do this when so much is on the line.

Have not read the entire thread but SD was just on swedish tv and said that there was no reason for them to lie, and that this was purely a strategic move to help Alonso.

Cheap move by Ferrari. I feel really sad for Massa. He did a good job in qualy only to be destroyed just because Master Alonso can move a place up in the grid.


Massa would be happy to a certain extend because he also got a clean side of the grid. Speed mentioned Massa said the dirty side is like starting in wet conditions. And why would Ferrari let Massa take Alonso's points in this stage of the championship?

All the Massa fans come to see him race must be happy. But nothing you wouldn't expect from Ferrari and Alonso.

not everyone - Kimi moved to the dirty side by Grosjean demotion and not affected by Massa's

Do I have a problem with it? Not really.

Would Red Bull have done it? I don't think so.

Is it harsh on Massa? Yes but he is lucky to be there anyway.

They would have if in the same position and would have thought of it.
They just interviewed Horner and he said they had no problem with it and that it is within the rules so yes... I think they would have done it.

It's not that hard to fix this ...

Break parc ferme, start from the pit lane and the grid remains the same.

That would concentrate a few minds.

Yes this is team sport but there are other drivers and teams that are affected by this. Gain advantage inside the team, not give disadvantage to others.

If Massa had at least a decent respect for himself, he wouldn't pulled over for Alonso in Germany 2010. He should have won that race and let Ferrari kick him out of the team. But once he accepted to be a guinea pig, well... a guinea pig he will remain for the rest of his disgraced career. Hamilton didn't take Alonso's crap and look what happened - he became a successful world wide champion and kept on scoring regular wins. Respect to that.

Of course he has done something personal against me, I have been an avid fan of this sport for 25 years and to see the sport I love being manipulated like this really gets me down.

And my hatred for this guy does not even come close to the way many of the forumer's on here hatred of Vettel.

Massa was stripped possible win. Great drive by him. Sadly Alonso gained a lot from start and then he was just coasting. Cheap points, important points but still bad taste. Next race we might see something even desperate from Ferrari. Massa seems to do anything team wants. Even to go little dirty on Vettel.

Massa didn't exactly do too bad out of it.

Anyone want to do the maths on average places dropped from the dirty side?
