Alonso returns

Friday, 16 June 2006 ‡ 23:06

It appears that Fernando Alonso is on his way to his 2nd consecutive F1 WDC. I know it is very early in the season, but i believe that he can and will maintain his lead, irrelevant of what the other teams and drivers do.

I believe that Schumacher returned in order to try and win the WDC and then retire, but he knows this is not going to happen in 2006. There are rumours he has signed for another 2 years with Ferrari, there are also rumours he will return to Renault in order to gain another WDC. Personally i think he should retire, even though he is always good to watch especially when he is under pressure to finish in the points, having started at the back of the grid for what ever reason.

With Fernando moving to McLaren in 2007, Montoya rumoured to be leaving and Kimi linked to Ferrari, the Renault could be the ultimate weapon for any driver who can drive it like Alonso and Schumacher to gain a WDC!

UPDATE:

Wow this was close, at one point it really did look like Alonso was going to lose. The final race and the last race for Michael in Brazil could have been a film, it would have been really lucky for Michael had Alonso not finished and Michael went on to win the race and win his 8th WDC title.

Top Gear

Monday, 5 June 2006 ‡ 12:33

Top car show on telly when i was growing up was TG and i remember when this lanky bloke with fuzzy hair appeared on the show as a presenter.

I am glad the new show is 1 hour long, it was about time this subject received more air time.

I love the idea of a celebrity in a poxy car, as with my mates i reckon i would also get a quick 1m 40 something time.

What i would love to know is the speed at which these guys carry in the follow through.

I know the show concentrates a lot more on these 3 blokes pissing about in cars which cost more than the average semi for most people, part me says "Hey, well done, if they can manage to make money out of having people watch them drive around central Europe in a Lamborghini, Ferrari or Porsche, but another part of me wants to see some more of the real cars that everyday Joe would look to buy.

They do throw in these little gems, hot hatches, family saloons, sports coupés, but i think it would be nice if £100,000+ cars did not dominate the show!

Oh and Clarkson, stop stealing comments from emails i send you and blasting them on air as your own!
