Nice work as usual, phil. Well-written, free from bias and pleasant to read.

Thanks. I rarely have a bias because I think they're all brilliant. Sure, a couple of midfield guys I find dull, but they're all top, top people.

Did anyone else notice the look on Alonso's face when he realised it wasn't champagne on the podium? :lol:

Hey Phil. Thats a great review. Factual and well written so that you want to read it to the end. Not easy in these days of short attention spans.

I wrote one myself. I do have the luxury of being biased and I make no excuse for it. So its probably not for everyone.
I will post the link here if thats okay. (Used to be in the past :) ) I doubt it is as well written but I dont pull any punches which may or may not count for something.
