OK, HippyF1 would like to open the discussion of the Italian GP with two questions:
ReplyDelete1) What happened - I slept, sporadically, through my recording of it and will have to watch it again this week.
2) After the race, when I had woken up, I was puzzled by DCs comments about an apparent defrosting of the relationship between Webber and Vettel. Which TV was he watching? - all I could see in the wee room after the race was Alonso and Webber enjoying a nice wee chat and both totally, deliberately ignoring Vettel - even when he tried to butt in they nodded then blanked him, leaving him to stand alone grinning embarrassedly (is that a word?). Even then, on the podium (I forwarded through the QA as recent experience has taught me how toe-curling it can be) he was consigned to spraying his fizz over Newey as the other two again wanted nothing to do with him.
I like this - I think upstart Germans who really will do anything to win need to be taught that a win without honour is quite shallow (clearly Monza was a fair and legitimate win - I refer of course to his disgraceful display of disobeying team orders earlier in the year). Reminds us that really honest commentators can only ever bring themselves to call Schumacher a genius, or great World Champion if they also caveat it with "flawed".
The Princess fell asleep straight after the race and kept asking why there was no champagne... There was.
ReplyDeleteI agree about the lack of thaw and I'd expand it to EVERYONE and Vettel - The post race holding room camera is just brutal TV, awkward silences and muted celebrations.
