Nico did use it in Bahrain though so lewis used it in Spain. They have always been told not to use it so both are wrong.
I am also upset with how lewis carried on over the weekend it was very childish. He should have just got on with it. It's always Monaco where he tends to go off on one lol. My respect for lewis as a person went 2 seasons ago. I still think he's the fastest guy in f1 and one of the best racers, but as a man he's not nice.
Would I did like though was lewis did not make a big deal out the fact he could not see out his left eye for 6 laps. He just brushed it off where as Mansell would have blamed that for not winning lol.
Alonso has a short memory though. In 2006 he claimed Renualt were trying to stop him wining the championship so he did not take number 1 to mclaren. Also in Italy we said the fia were against him etc. 2007 alonso always said he had no problem with lewis just Ron so I think his comments have been taken out of content, plus he was one if the drivers that felt nico done that parking on purpose so I think he actually means lewis to win. Alonso and lewis actually get on really well now.
"Fernando Alonso has sensationally accused Renault of sabotaging his title campaign by making intentional errors during the Chinese Grand Prix. Alonso lost the lead in both Sunday's Shanghai race and the Drivers' Championship after Renault put the wrong tyres on his car during his first pit-stop and then compounded the error by bungling his second stop. And according to the Spaniard, the mistakes happened because Renault don't want him to retain the world title as he's leaving for McLaren at the end of this season. "They wanted us to finish second and third because they do not want me to take the number 'one' to a different team," he told Spanish newspaper AS. "They are not helping me as much as they could." The 25-year-old went on to claim that Renault are now only interested in the outcome of the Constructors' race. "Some [at Renault] are happy because we went past Ferrari in the team battle," he said. With two races to go, Renault have a one-point lead over Ferrari in the Constructors' Championship, while Alonso is second in the Drivers' standings because even though he has the same number of points as Michael Schumacher, the Ferrari driver has won more races this year."
In Spain and Bahrain they let nico change his strategy to give him a chance to catch and pass lewis, but in Monaco they never gave lewis the chance to out early. Yes it turns out it would not have worked but at least give him a chance.
This allowed to race thing is a bit fake as strategy is part of racing. Plus on two occasions this year they have favoured the driver in 2nd place by putting him on the better strategy for the end of the race.
Alonso would not have passed kimi in Spain if Ferrari operated the same way merc are.
I do think though the press are making more out of it than needed.
Nico though could have made that corner in quali, yes he would have been wide etc but he could have made it. He locked up worse in the race and made it as well. Also nico started the race with less fuel to make sure he got off the line better.
Nico had the better car setup all weekend you could see how much better he got his car. Nico was better than lewis last year at Monaco as well. Now we get to tracks where lewis was faster that nico last year. Yes Austria is not known and that to me looks like a nico track, but Canada, silverstone, hungry, spa, Germany are all lewis tracks.
Lewis though uses less fuel in a race which is going to benefit him in Canada. It's interesting that everyone kept on before the year started that lewis would never cope etc and he's actually one of the best on the grid.
Going to be interesting now to see if he keeps his head.
We took a hit in out fantasy teams though
stupid bottas engine lol
