I know how you feel Brenda I read the post myself and was seething. I know most of you know my views on a certain team and its current drivers. I find it best to stay away from all these negative posts on other forums and take a leaf from Kimi's book when he states he "doesnt care what people think of him". He is happy in is own skin, lets his driving do the talking and is the most dignified person I have probably ever seen.
On a positive note he looks so relaxed and happy now and has the light back in his eyes. For all of us that admire him seeing him this way is the best thing of all.
No amount of knockers can take that away from him

Now, I can't wait for F1 in Monaco, cuz obviously Kimi will attend the weekend!
F1 today was just stupid! Fonzi, this jerk, got on P2, completely undeserved
MS, jerk no.2, simply stupid with keeping Button behind, although he had such a damn slow car, just ridiculous....
Hambo, just unlucky, I'm sorry, that he retired two laps before finish line, he'd deserve P2 and not Fonso....
Congrats to Webber, how drove a seriously good race, defended his pole and didn't risk anything during the 66 laps.

I was saying this morning that we all shouldn't have such negative posts here.
Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but the driver that we support is completely different. I don't think he has that kind of hate/dissapointement towards Ferrari or Alonso.
I also believe that as long as someone keeps on wanting bad results for a driver, it will happen the opposite. It's a funny statement, but

I get the same feeling whenever I find myself wishing for someone to dnf because I don't like them
. I get afraid that that will jinx my favorite drivers.

Ok, I understood. I'm going to shut my mouth up. But, you know, where to say what hurts me if not here. Injustice hurts so much. Especially when I see Alonso gaining good points because of other people's unluck!!! I think we've seen enough of it already...
Everyday I try to learn from Kimi, I'm sure that he isn't feel bad because of what's happened to him last year and already in 2008, I should try to do the same, but we are different. For me, it's too hard.

I understand you, but that's the way things are, some have more luck than others. There are plenty of things that aren't fair both in life and in sports.
But, even if most of you don't like Alonso (his character and his controversies) you have to start to accept that he is indeed a great driver. It's not only about luck. This season you will see it especially in comparation with Massa.

Pardon me, I've never ever said that Alonso is not a great driver!!!! I appreciate his talent, no doubt about it. I also know that life and sports can be unfair a lot of times.
But I just can't swallow that he's much better than Massa. That would mean that Kimi is worse than Alonso, which is not true IMO. He's luckier than Kimi, has better PR and he gets all the support from the team. That way he can shine much better than Kimi could.

You know, I never wished Fonzi something really bad....it's just unbelievable, that this guy has always so much luck - also if he doesn't deserve it.....

you see, some comparations just can not be made. I don't think it's fair to compare Alonso and Kimi because they haven't driven the same car and the comparations through Massa it's not fair because the cars are different and Massa and Alonso both like the same type of car. But the comparation is brought by Kimi haters to show how Kimi was overated.
Make no mistake, if the situation was the other way round (Massa dominating Alonso) there will be some Kimi "fanboys" who would destroy Alonso with some posts. I'm not saying that you would do it...
My favourite driver was/is Kimi and I always though he is better that Massa, but I can not say he is better or not than Alonso. As a fan I would like to think it like this
I am more rational than passionate and I try not to mind those Alonso fanboys and Kimi haters...I won't get to their levels of hatred or total unrealistic claims..
