ALONSO TO FERRARI?

-
This rumour has been going on for some time and it's a delicious rumour for many people, I must admit. Especially the press who'd love to plaster their front pages with pictures and the news. And Alonso would love to drive a Ferrari as it's a competitive car to fight for his 3rd title and get back at Lewis and McLaren.

I've dreaded this possibility for some time as I don't want to see Alonso in a competitive car. He's such a spoilt brat. But the latest rumours about it seems to carry some weight. I almost jumped out of my skin when I suddenly thought about the partner he will get should he move to Ferrari - Massa. These two have no love lost between them.

It was very obvious last year when they raced side by side at Nurburgring if I'm not mistaken, where Alonso won and Massa finished 2nd. They were reportedly swearing at each other (especially Massa) in the changing room. This would work well for Lewis if it happens as Alonso and Massa will keep each other busy while Lewis snatches the win. Woohoo!

yah, I remember that when Alonso brushed his car against Massa to take the lead and went on to win the race. These two had something going on in the Spanish GP where Massa forced Alonso wide in the first lap...and this is to get back at him.

But how things turn quickly when Alonso backed Massa to win the world title coming to the end of 2008. Just goes to show, he really hate Hamilton's guts.

Yeah John..that's right. Nomatter what anybody says, we all know that Alonso hates Lewis' guts (and maybe vice versa) and Alonso is not Massa's friend.

If he should end up at Ferrari, it would be good for us fans to see the fights.

And BTW, even though I don't like Alonso, I admit he is a damn good and smooth driver. That's what makes him going to Ferrari so dangerous.

DOUGIE DOES THE BULL

Hmm, 3 weeks is a long time in F1, no? After waiting 4 months for action, we got 4 races then suddenly all quiet. Seems like 3 weeks is longer than 4 months. Only God knows how I made it through the winter. Anyway, we'll have the start of the European season next week in Barcelona. That should be fireworks as teams will be bringing big updates to their cars there. The order will be jumbled up again, not to mention the changes made by Pirelli to the hard tire. We'll see. In the meantime, who the hell is Dougie? Well that would be Dougie Lampkin. He is the 12 times FIM Trial World Champion. And what the hell is the FIM Trial? Well, it's a motorcycle event. What?? Motorcycle? Blasphemy! Actually not. Since we're all motorsports fans generally and F1 fans specifically, we are allowed to talk about other motorsports besides F1. Any sport that uses a motor falls under motorsports, not just F1 or cars. So what is the FIM trials? According to Wikipedia: Motorcycle tria...

LEWIS HAMILTON’S MIAMI GP: A FRUSTRATING RACE AMID FERRARI’S STRATEGIC MISSTEPS

-

A Challenging Start from P12 The 2025 Miami Grand Prix commenced under the Florida sun, with Max Verstappen leading the pack from pole position. Lewis, starting from P12 after a disappointing qualifying session, faced an uphill battle. Despite a strong showing in the sprint race, where he finished third, Lewis's Ferrari lacked the pace to challenge the frontrunners at the start. The initial laps saw Lewis holding position, unable to capitalize on opportunities due to the car's limitations and the competitive midfield traffic. Strategic Confusion and a P8 Finish As the race unfolded, Lewis found himself behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who was on a different tire strategy. Lewis, on fresher medium tires, believed he had the pace to overtake Leclerc and challenge Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli ahead. However, Ferrari's hesitation in issuing team orders led to mounting frustration. When the order finally came, Lewis sarcastically remarked over the radio, "Have a tea break w...
