    Is there anyone else whose irony meter is going off the charts at this comment? Damn right, he's bitter.

    Why is he even saying all this? Team orders again. Or maybe PR orders. But you can read between the lines - he doesn't believe a word he's mouthing.

    Or perhaps he is telling the truth, and you don't like it.

    Good point. But then I failed mind reading in college so I do not know the truth about anything at McLaren.

    I have heard that Lewis gets frustrated but then acknowledges his #2 position after his debriefing with Ron Dennis. And be assured he is #2. Vodafone, big bucks to McLaren and Alonso, wants to see their man Fred come out on top.

    So to please the big sponsor, I have to believe there are team orders. I doubt if Ron Dennis cares about Alonso's ego, only the sponsor's money.

    I think Ron Dennis let him know that being a loose cannon and shooting off at the lip doesn't help anything. I think his competitiveness is great, but much like Kobe Bryant you need to know when to zip it. Lewis needs to stay away from making inflammatory statements to the press...especially against his own team.

    Good coaching by Ron Dennis. Hamilton will have his day.

    I think Hamilton will be worth more in the advertising world than Fred. He's better looking and more personable. Ron probably just told him to cool it with the press and let the actions on the track speak for itself.
