When exactly did he say McLaren doesn't like me? When exactly did he say they are giving Hami a better car? You are reading into his comments what you want to read. You already see him as a whiner, so anything he says will always be wrong, whether he's right or not. He's already acting the part. I seem to remember certain people than won several world titles that thought they were too busy on the grid to even grant an interview. Alonso is always very gracious and accomodating to the press.
I did not compare him to anyone else...At least MS didn't ever, as far as I remember, whine like a toddler with full diapers, like FA !!! Why not say, FA isn't anywhere near as bad, as the SCCA Nissan factory team C-Prod driver, IIRC, Fitzgerald, where at the 1980 Mid-Ohio run-offs, he intentionally T-Boned the field leading Gran Turismo sponsored, 63 E-Type Jag and got banned for two years??? He was paid by the Nissan factory to be one of the designated hitters !!! BTW... The Jag still won, against the other 4 Nissans, including Newman. Then he really looks like a angel. HE STANDS OR FALLS ON HIS OWN MERIT !!
Now you are reading a bit more into what I said, than was actually there, I said,"Some of his on-track maneuvers have been, I'll say far from clean." You have extrapolated from that point, I imagine, for the purpose of making your rebuttal easier, to me saying that FA is simply a dirty driver.
I really don't get your hang up on MS, I have never offered up unbridled praise of him, he has not been an object of my worship, I doubt you could even find a post from by me pumping up his acheivements/legacy. I'm really sorry you feel this need to trash him, but please don't feel you have to do it for me. Save your energy.
what was he gonna say "the Stukka did well today as I zeroed in on Mika" I really wonder why some people come onto a Ferrari site to stir up emotions, we Tifosi bag Schumi enough without "other" fans coming in to twist the knife Are the German/English sites charging more to play ?
No, I have nothing against Ayrton's, Michael's, or Alonso's "dirty" moves. I just don't single one of them out of the bunch and start picking on them. The only reason I singled out Michael was because you were singling out Alonso. It's called looking in the mirror (at least on a Ferrari site with Michael). The amount of hate Alonso gets on here is ridiculous. Leave the man alone...
I don't know John, I wonder why people want to pee in our swimming pool. We don't swim in their toilets !!
I don't hate Alonso at all. There are precious few people in this BIGWIDEWORLD, that I've reserved that amount of energy for. Like I said, I give him credit for his driving ability, I just wish he would act more like an adult in front of the media. I know, he probably doesn't feel he is contractually obligated to be a role model, but it is part of the territory, like it or not. Kids are watching him and hanging on his words, take responsibility for your actions and man-up !!
I agree with you in much of what you have posted on this thread. Its strange that most of the posters backing Aonso are also backing Mercedes in their legal fight with the FIA and Ferrari. Its so true that many of these are just here to piss in our pool.
i do remember once Alonso's brake testing somewhere on the track. thats the only bad stuff i remember him doing on the track.
I think that was with Doornbos in practice. Like i said, I don't rememeber too many rough moves he made and it looks like most people don't either. i guess it's just another excuse not to like him....
