Should I change my vote then?

I find it funny that an Alonso fan of all people would say that team mates should be allowed to race each other after all isn't Felipe just a buffer for Alonso and the person who picks up points if Alonso is having a bad day?

I mean would you be happy if Felipe was handed a win by Ferrari just because he could win the championship?

So you are totally fine with the idea that Alonso could be told to let Felipe through? Even if Alonso was having the race of his life?

I guess that is fair enough really. I don't like fans that deny their driver uses team orders to their advantage but can get a right wobbly on when the shoe is on the other foot. Be consistent with the hate of team orders or just bugger off in general!

Really like that reply! 

It is true, too many fans try to "take on" the personality of the driver they support, it is especially funny when they get it wrong. Some people like to boil the drivers down to a stereotype that hardly ever fits the person they are talking about.

I actually did know before asking that question that you'd reply that you wouldn't mind but at least you admit that Alonso probably would mind! That is something I hate about some of fandom especially with the recent stupidity over Vettel, his fans trying to deny that he uses team orders or has ever been helped by Webber when EARLIER IN THAT RACE he was telling the team to let him through on Webber. The Multi 21 order must have made him think this was a sneaky way to get a team order and his fans seem to think he was a genius for him. At least you seem to actually admit when you think Alonso is wrong.

Well he shouldn't have caused criminal damage fair enough for getting the police in touch for that part.

BUT I don't like paparazzi and their excuses for things like this. I read the guys twitter page and he was basically like "you should chill out it was an unprovoked attack on me when all I wanted to do was take a picture of you with your girl, you should respect the press more" I felt like tweeting him telling him to respect Alonso and Dasha how is "just taking a picture of you and your girl" when they weren't at the track, weren't working and was returning to the hotel respectful? I don't get paparazzi at all. It was provoked as you were prying into their personal life and Alonso doesn't like that, the photographer even knows that Alonso has previous for this kind of thing!

Think Alonso should pay for the damage, but this guy hasn't exactly made himself the innocent party by being an ass about it when he was in the wrong! (Yes I think paparazzi are in the wrong when Alonso is working AT THE CIRCUIT or PR events fair enough but when he's relaxing away from the track? I doubt many drivers would have liked it, lucky it wasn't Montoya ).

Didn't see Merc's getting the pole though! Think they'll fall back in the race to be honest, maybe Hamilton will stay with the others longer than Rosberg if only because he has more experience at driving against Seb and Nacho's advantages, Nico might get a bit swallowed. McLarens though and this isn't the grid line up as there have been two penalties one being Felipe Massa. I think 3 place drop, not sure of the other but this was the only site working for me and they don't have an updated version.

Next question... I get home about 5ish tomorrow, who will rewatch it with me on here when I iPlayer it ?
