Cheats? Tell me more. If it's cheating to have a car that is rather reliable and fast, we really aren't watching the same championship xD
Also, I don't think even little-Piquet would be so stupid to tell big lies. That was so obvious that I wonder how you can't believe it to be true, even though I think Alonso hadn't planned it at all, only accepted what happened.
And yep, I miss Kubica so much :/ He was likely to be one of the best but sadly his urge to drive rally had a cost. His crash at Montreal was one of the most shocking things happened in F1 for a while, even though it luckily didn't harm him almost at all.
