AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a recent Formula 1 race that, despite being eventful, is viewed as largely inconsequential. Alonso secured the top position, which is seen as a morale boost but ultimately unnecessary since he is likely leaving Renault next year and needs a better car. Kimi Raikkonen's points are acknowledged as beneficial for the constructors' championship, though they won't impact the overall standings significantly. The championship contenders, Hamilton and Massa, scored minimal points, leading to frustration among fans, particularly regarding their performance. Additionally, the green-painted tires were mentioned as part of F1's environmental initiatives. Overall, the race was noted for its timing, with some expressing dissatisfaction about the early hour it aired.

An eventful yet useless race. The top spot goes to someone who doesn't really need it (yes yes, it's a big boost to the morale, blah blah, but Alonso will most likely move out of Renault next year. And he doesn't really need a top spot, he needs a good car.), and similarly, Kimi getting those points when it won't make a difference, and the championship contenders scoring just two points between them.
 
Kimi's points will make a difference to the contructors title. There is more than one race going on. Plus Alonso's victories help prove to any other teams that want him just how good a driver he is (if that really needed pointing out again).
 
Sounds like it was an interesting race. It was on at 7am here, I don't get up that early. For anything.
 
Good for him, it's not for this year, but for the next.
 
By the way, who knows why the tyres today are all painted in green?

Just to highlight the environmental commitment of F1.
