Alonso just did it with a used engine.

If he's in the lead soon, and webber qualifies 10th or something in the coming races, which he could, Alonso can qualify on pole invoke the new engine and end up at arms reach to Webber. Alonso can take the upper hand as Webber will have an old engine.

I think Webber still has 2 engines left?

On plus side, Lewis has a couple of slightly used engines thanks to his DNFs. If he consumes is last one, he has a couple practically brand new. On the flip side I prefer penalties to DNFs.

Heiki fighting the fire on the main straight was crazy. Any of those cars could have struck him. But it was quick thinking since it seemed there was no quick access for marshals. the only thing missing was a spectacular explosion. I guess that is just a myth.

Obviously the Singapore track and it's marshals need an urgent safety review.
What if Heikki had been trapped or unconscious in the car? How long would it have taken the marshals to reach him?

yup, the marshals were slow to act. as heikki was slowing down, he was already gesturing to the people at the pitwall. from what i read, it was the williams team who gave heikki the fire extinguisher.

Quick thinking from the team for not allowing him to head into the pits. Well, I'm guessing he was instructed to park it at the pit wall straight.

He's a smart man. You don't want to bring a torch in the garage. I also admire his concern for the car and team. You would think that putting it out is none of his business. But he tried to save much of the car. Nice lad.

Schumi is confirmed for next year. If Kimi and Jaques make it, we'll have a Seniors Cup.

three days to the final race. while red bull has clinched the constructor's tile, four drivers can win the title, depending on the final race.

from planet-f1 Who needs what to win the title
