Alonso's dominance this season!

Post by Fisichella4Eva » Fri Jun 23, 2006 5:23 am

Several years ago, I hated watching every race & seeing lap after lap of Schumacher dominating, although I could at least tolerate it.

However, Alonso's dominance is even more annoying, and I can't put up with it! For once, I want Schumacher to win. For the following races: Bahrain, San Marino, Europe & Britain) I have wanted Schumacher to win. Please Schumacher stop the dominance & bring some good racing!

I don't like watching any driver dominate the way Alonso is this year or MS did in the past. I would like to see at least three preferably four or five drivers in contention at this stage of the year. :(

It is difficult to enjoy Formula 1 some years when one team has both the machinery and driver to totally dominate the season. Last year and this year in particular, this has been the case. I am waiting to see Alonso in the McLaren next year so the championship will not be as predictable.

Many yonks ago, so Mum tells me, the turbo renaults were getting pole by +1 sec or more. With about 8-4 laps to go they would usually grenade, sometimes simultaneously, as in line astern smokescreens. That was a great season, (I'm told) cos the season went down to the wire,.............sigh.

Ya know, I don't like watching 1 or 2 driver dominate any series, but I have to say, I am loving the dominance of Fernando Alonso because for some reason, he still has many nay-sayers. I want him to keep on winning until he has pounded his detractors into dust!

I would like to see some other drivers compete for the top step like Jenso, Trulli, Barrichello, Heidfeld, Webber, Massa or even Ralf Schumacher! I believe all of these drivers CAN win in their current teams given the right circumstances.

Canada is know for first time winners. I like Jenso's chances there. Fisichella is overdo for a win, and he is particularly good on the tight twisties. Jarno Trulli could come out of the blue. Massa was 4th last year in a Sauber, and could get his first win there this year. David Coulthard could shock everyone there in a car that is good abeit down on pace from the Renault, Ferrari, Honda, and Toyota.

Canada will be interesting as it always has been. The USGP at Indianapolis, on the other hand, could provide you with your wish. Michael Schumacher is particularly good there.

Dream on!

To make this championship more interesting, we need Schumacher to win the next 2/3 races with Alonso only getting points finishes. Fat chance of that!
