7th November 2010, 18:07 at 6:07 pm #150435nikMemberHaha.. very funny. Not as bad as when some websites accidently publish obituaries (I believe Time did this last year)
sw6569 since you are on a mac and I noticed that you Googled on how to take a screenshot, I recommend you download Skitch – http://www.skitch.com – an awesome and free screenshot/pic tool with uploading builtin

7th November 2010, 18:32 at 6:32 pm #150437sw6569Participant@nik yep, haven’t had the mac for too long and had no idea how to do it! Looks like you caught me out too ;)
Am downloading now
7th November 2010, 18:38 at 6:38 pm #150438Prisoner MonkeysParticipantOh, Keith … you didn’t just do that!
7th November 2010, 18:40 at 6:40 pm #150439cyanideParticipantThe secret to Keith’s speed LOL.
Just found it weird for a second, then assumed that FIA had disqualified the Red Bulls after the race lol.
7th November 2010, 19:53 at 7:53 pm #150440SoerenKaaeParticipantIs Keith actually biased, and trying to all get us to support Alonso? :p
7th November 2010, 20:53 at 8:53 pm #150441StevoMemberI can’t see the picture, what is it?
7th November 2010, 20:57 at 8:57 pm #150442Picasso 1.9D FTWParticipantHey, I’ve got the whole article in my feed reader if you want to read it ;-)
8th November 2010, 3:24 at 3:24 am #150443Prisoner MonkeysParticipantI can’t see the picture, what is it?
It’s a screen capture of the front page of the blog with a headline article claiming that Fernando Alonso had just won his third World Championship. Obviously, Keith wrote several generic articles depending on possible championship outcomes so that all he would have to do is upload them at race’s end, and one of them somehow got posted by mistake.
8th November 2010, 8:51 at 8:51 am #150444SouthAussie94Participant@Picasso, could you post the article? I’d love to read it
8th November 2010, 9:20 at 9:20 am #150445Ned FlandersParticipantHaha, that’s one for the blooper reel

Here it is:
Fernando Alonso has become F1 world champion for a third time in Brazil.
Alonso began the season strongly with a maiden win for Ferrari in Brazil.
But after that he had a series of difficult races. By the German Grand Prix he was 47 points behind in the chase for the championship.
That race proved the turning point in his season – albeit a controversial one, as team mate Felipe Massa was order to let Alonso past to win.
From then on Alonso was the man to beat, winning again at Italy, Singapore and Korea. His Singapore triumph stood out as one of his best, snatching pole position and victory from Sebastian Vettel.

Obviously Mark Webber finished but was thinking there could be DQ or something.
