For a while I was a bit worried that the 'Dynamic Duo' has left the
group for good, but suddenly and nearly simultaneously they appeared
again.

Don't get me wrong, this is a very professional and practical, albeit
a little bit boring NG so the amusement factor is very welcomed here.
Sure there is some mildly amusing Spanish sideshow who can't yet
comprehend that it only took one stunning rookie to show to the world
how overrated Alonso really is. Still, nothing beats the original
stooges!


Why is it that so many, many people are unable to comment on the race
without delivering totally unjustified insults to drivers who have
repeatedly proved themselves well worthy of top drives?

What is so difficult about the concept that Alonso is a worthy double
world champion who was driving a car that for much of last year was not
the cream of the crop? What is so difficult about the concept that
Raikkonen is a quick and reliable driver who would already have at least
one world championship under his belt if it hadn't been for reliability
issues in the McLaren?

What is so difficult about the concept that Button is a quick driver in a
shit car; that Hamilton, far from being a "rookie who has shown up the
world champion" is actually a racer with fantastic potential who has given
the world a first glimpse of what he himself is capable of; that Nico
wrung a great performance from a mediocre car; that Nick Heidfeld has
finally got a car that might enable him to turn potential into results;
and that Kubica may give him a run for his money?

What, in short, is so difficult about acknowledging talent when it is so
clearly on display, and what is this need to insult talented drivers
merely for the sake of showing off one's command of invective?

FFS, we have the prospect here of the best season of racing in many years.
That should be good enough for any fan of F1.
Problem is, these fellers are not "fans if F1"...and nowhere near to being
enthusiasts.
