Well done Seb, but....

The factory team cars were faster, but I used to love the privately-entered RS2000s. It was all about smoothness through the corners and that glorious sound, from a car still not too different from one you would drive to work.

Indeed, a work colleague's only car was rallyed through forests whenever possible but still had to transport his long-suffering wife and kids at other times. I bought his fastastic Marchal spot-lamps when it had been rolled once too often. Blow me if he didn't buy them back a couple of years later when he persuaded his good lady to let him start again (with a Simca Rallye).

I remember watching Michelle Mouton destroying Audi quatros through the Forest of Dean, if it needed to be downshifted for a bend, it was downshifted regardless of the speed or rpm of the engine. She shot the biggest flames from the tailpipe [:)]

I had a French girlfriend who looked like Michelle Mouton. 

She drove her old Renault 8 around Paris with the same level of mechanical sympathy.....[:-))]

Alonso draws alongside the blameless Petrov and starts waving his fist – the very definition of gracelessness.

"I can't begrudge Seb anything," Webber says. "He's driven well and deserves his success."

That's how defeat should be handled.

"And if I had to do the same again, I would my friend, Fernando"

Hope you're all singing along.
