Alonso Cruises to British Formula One Victory
Published by Tikna on Sunday, June 11, 2006 at 6/11/2006 06:13:00 amAlonso cruised to a simple victory in the British Grand Prix, he showcased his sheer dominance on the Formula One circuit. One thing i wonder here is, when ferrari won every race, everyone said that ferrari is evil and change rules and so on, now when renault is pounding the competition in every race , i see no opposition.
Today was the most boring race, little moves, no competition for Alonso,and except for the crashes, little excitement. Hope future races have more people contending for 1st place. And also lets have 1 minute silence for Jenson Button, poor guy, sometimes he crashes and when he isnt able to break his day, then his car finishes the job for him.

it seems so long ago that MS/Ferrari entered in such a 'fight' and emerged the winner!
but the gap between MS n alonso has increased so much that i doubt that there is any
competition left in the result of this years championship...renault's consistency is
of course the main influencing factor in this opinion of mine...
lets see...
aah how i wish to see a closely fought championship!
