Re: F1 2010 Season Preview
Thanks for your efforts.
If you don't mind a bit of constructive criticism, I would advise against suffixing every scandal with "-gate" (spygate, crashgate, liegate). Popular as they may be, these terms are typical of the media's overreacting ways (omg this is the new watergate), and usually say more about the writer's lack of professionalism than about the facts themselves.
Also, interesting as it was, I felt your article was perhaps a bit too polite at times, not opinionated enough. To an extent, you're summing up the general (educated) consensus, which is a good start, but you'd need to dig deeper, and give this a distinctive phil1993 flavour. With both Hamilton and Alonso paired up with very capable teammates, you say nothing of the ugly side both of them showed in 2007, of their willingness to play dirty to assert themselves as team leader; you say very little of Kovalainen and Trulli's less-than-stellar drives throughout 2009; there'd be a couple other examples, but I think you see the point.
Lastly, you might want to iron out some typos, which you'll easily spot upon proofreading. "Massa wants to prove his better than ever", stuff like that.
This is by no means to put down your efforts; I deeply respect your work, and I hope my comments will be helpful in a way. Keep it up.

Great effort, thanks Phil.

Yeah, of course, any criticism so long as it is constructive is appreciated. I use '-gate' because it is what they're called and sometimes I slip up with wordsFrançois wrote:Thanks for your efforts.

PS. Next week I'm not quite sure what the article will be on - if anyone has suggestions then feel free to suggest them and I'll explore it

Re: F1 2010 Season Preview
Nice read, thanks phil. At last, someone gives Massa credit for his abilities. I don't know why he's so underrated and disliked by so many.
I really hope that more than two teams are capable of fighting for the title and this year it looks promising!

Great review (as usual), of a quality just as good (if not better) than anything you'd find in a newspaper.
