He was a bit of an enigma to me.
Very, very quick at times with some very good race craft.
Other times a massive liability.
I think the grid has better drivers overall than him, but he was more than just a "pay driver"

I'm not so sure. Teams weren't queuing to sign him even with his millions. Hard to see anyone giving him a drive if he wasn't paying an awful lot. The makes him a classic pay driver in my book.

But you don't win a race ahead of Alonso on pay driver skills.
Used his car as a weapon plenty of times, clearly a pay driver... and yet a race win (albeit one that Hamilton started from the back of the grid due to the team thinking they'd run out of fuel after Hamilton put it on pole by 0.5 seconds (one of plenty of errors McLaren were making at the time I seem to recall).

For a couple of year I was hoping he'd pull out another performance like that to prove a lot of people wrong - but by the end of 2015 I was completely bored by his consistent error making - it was time for him to go.But you don't win a race ahead of Alonso on pay driver skills.

He has one more f1 race win and a better f1 career than most of us on here ! Doesn't matter jack sBut you don't win a race ahead of Alonso on pay driver skills.
t to me if he paid for it , all of us would have done the same and lived the dream . How many drivers on the grid are "pay drivers?"
Even Alonso benefited from Telefonia and Santander support over the years.
These companies don't just sponsor somebody for no reason, you have to show talent 1st.
Maldonado has won an F1 race, which is more than can be said about Hulkenberg, Perez or any of the other drivers people seem to think are better than him.

Right now, probably only Stroll but that is unfair until we have seen him race.Even Alonso benefited from Telefonia and Santander support over the years.

The stats speak for themselves, the grid is pretty tight, we don't have amateurs with big funding rocking up, buying a seat and then being 4 sec behind the rest of the pack.
