Alonso Takes P2 in Spanish Qualifying

By Team Principal on Sat April 26 2008

It was a great drive and Renault have improved their suspect car considerably.  What makes it fascinating is the timing of the team's sudden resurgence.  Obviously, and as Pat Symonds more-or-less confirmed, they are lighter than the cars surrounding them and in front of the flagging Spanish crowds, but more importantly, it follows Alonso's comments of how impossible a decent result would be this season.

  • Cursing KERS.:
    • Team Principal: True, but I'd rather be talking about which team was implementing it best than which team was actually using it!
    • Christine: The only excuse for not mandating KERS more strongly is to try and induce development... but that doesn't follow if the choice is to either have it or not. Still, the day F1 has clear rules, we'll have nothing left to talk about!
  • No Buyer for Honda = 18 Cars for 2009.:
    • Team Principal: I'd love for that to be the case too, but blimey, this is *really* last minute!
    • Christine: I wonder if they will save it until the very last minute to announce something. Keep us guessing. We live in hope, I guess.
    • Bruce McIntire: A friend of mine just emailed me one of your articles from a while back. I read that one a few more. Really enjoy your blog. Thanks
  • Kimi? Kimi Who?:
    • Boy George: Hamilton is the man right now, He doesn't have to worry about anybody but himself. Inf he stays focused and doesn't make any major mistakes he will take the title.
  • German F1 Grand Prix Race 2008:
    • Boy George: Cool post. It kinda makes me think about it.
