Alonso to remain in hospital?

Oh Gawwwd

 

It was a bad press conference I agree. But I understand that is typical of Dennis.

I think he is annoyed honestly.

It came across as - **** off, this is racing and we had a crash and I don't really care to answer anymore and since you are a pain in the balls, I will have the FIA deal with you, and OMG the Spanish love Alonso and had to keep him for 3 days but in season I would have put him back in the car the next day and no I haven't spoken to him.

 

LOL!

I think it was his doctor and nurse who were looking pretty good.

 

Sorry, I've got Alonso fatigue. The last half of the 2014 season was a soap opera about Alonso and now, even preseason testing is all about Alonso. Just make it stop!

 

I hear you.... But that soap opera kept us 'engaged' as the marketing geeks like to note. Love him or hate him, he is also a *big* name and people want to know what's going on.

FWIW, "he" posted the following to YouTube to thank fans for their support:

This is the English version - just 25 seconds - I don't do Spanish very well, but that version is almost twice as long.... Dunno if he says anything more, or if Spanish is just terribly "wordy".

Get well soon Fred,
Ian

 

Usually people put their hands in their pockets when they're hiding something lol

 

The Spanish version is about the same length as the English one. Same thing. Nando looks fine to me.

 

If you are "perfectly OK" why do you need to keep us updated on your recovery? I have raised a couple of sons, and this looks like the story you get just before the school calls to tell you that the head master would like to meet with you, even though you have been assured that everything is perfectly OK.

 

Alonso has a headache because it looks like McLaren will suck this year from early testing.

Even Mac says they are not ready for the season to start. That's not just playing down expectations. That's anticipating the outcome.

 

Maybe because people are making assumptions and spreading rumors perhaps??

I mean, I'd much rather hear it from him saying that he's okay instead of the team's or FIA's PR or anyone else for that matter.

 

................even from his girlfriend.

 

Why do the English drop "the" when using the word hospital? He is in THE hospital or in A hospital. Not in hospital. Bothers me to no end.

Sorry for the rant.

 

We do the same thing - e.g. for much of their childhoods, American kids are in school. Some of the bad ones are in prison.

 

lol

 

Hmmm, good point. Great example, why does it work with school?...... now I'm confused.

 

Americans can't spell words like 'aluminium' or 'through' so please don't complain.

 

or colour, behaviour, etc..

 

Probably learned it 'at university' haaaaaa

The one I always catch is 'on holiday'. And the funny thing is a couple of days off NOT even during the holidays is also called 'on holiday'-even for that random couple of days.

Now to be totally fair I absolutely envy these guys (and pretty much all Europeans) on this b/c (generally) when they take even a couple of days off they totally disconnect which is fantastic. They really are 'on holiday': no cell phones, no vpn's, no conference calls, nuthin. I don't think I've been in that mystical state since maybe college. My Sunday rant, but maybe if I say I'm on days off.....

 

Do you say somebody's "in college" or "in the college", "in town" or "in the town"? It sounds to me as though the Brits have it right.

 

If he is home,it would be consistent with recovery from concussion; if he is still in hospital,there is something that the public is not being told, like a finding on the MRI. ( or the hosital or hospitalised or under hospital care,whichever type of English works best.) I'm Canadian,eh.

 

We have very inconsistent rules of language....

 

Depends on the sentences and questions.

Do you know where bob is?

In College.

In the College. Works both ways, depending on the conversation.

Where did you put the book?

In College. In the College.

Do you want to go in town?

 

I hope that this is not true. Does anybody know if this source is accurate?

"...it would not be fair to the rest of the grid if he returned too soon and caused an accident at 200mph.”

You could see this coming 100 miles away.

 

If you think that's bad, wait until you read this: Alonso thought he was 13 after Barcelona crash
