Disgusted with Alonso

[bennno]

Alonso appears to have been exceptionally disloyal to McLaren this year, both in terms of his press outbursts and in his involvement which ultimately led to the team being stripped of all points this year. I read today he is now in Italy volunteering evidence. Over the last week have read from all sources of his criticism for Ron Dennis and favouritism being shown for his team mate.

Personally I have lost all respect for the whining spaniard, who simply appears to be throwing his toys out of the pram as he is up against a team mate for the first time who clearly has a similar or better capability.

The damage he has caused to McLaren and RD this year, with the potential knock on for their sponsors has been significant. Even when Prost and Senna were neck and neck in the championships for McLaren neither turned on the team.

For me I half wish he wins the championship as he will then look a fool. I then hope he loses his seat for next year as if you did as he has done in any other form of paid employment you would be out of the door before its possible to say gross misconduct.

Ahey, Alonso is permanently in the british media
- publicly slating Ron Dennis publicly for the teams issues and their off track problems
- suggesting that he is getting poor treatment by comparison
- Alonso's comments in May about the team giving him nothing whilst he has given the 2-3 seconds a lap
- Smashing up Hospitality centre at last race weekend,
- Giving evidence against the team to the FIA
- pushing his team mate Hamilton off the circuit in Belgium
- publicly criticising the FIA for not penalising Hamiltons driving behind the pace car the other weekend
- constant griping about he is only slower due to the team favouring their other driver

I would love to see him win next weekend as he should then be thoroughly embarrassed by his behavour this season. There isnt another sport where it would be tolerated nor any other form of employment where you can do as he has done to his employer.

I wouldnt currently put it past him to try to drive Hamilton off the track this weekend, if he has a mechanical fault.

Put simply he has had his back to the wall all season by a driver thats at least as good as him, as a result his toys have been thrown about and he has made himself look like an ungracious idiot.

Do you never feel that the British Media may be leading you by the nose?

Nah, if he was acting graciously about all this then I would still have the respect I had for him a year ago. Was genuinely excited to see him in a McLaren - but now fed up with his harping to anybody that will listen.

As below I half hope he wins the championship as it will show him up as a total e-diot.

Its actually made Hamilton who seems a bit smug and conceited in to appearing quite a nice fella.

I never saw the diatribe from Barichello or Massa at Ferrari partnering Schumi. It only seems to be those who end up being totally outqualified and raced by their team mate (e.g. JV) for the full season that show this kind of public disloyalty to their team.

[quote=5.0%]How long into next season will we have to wait before Hamilton's war with his new team-mate bubbles to the surface? Whoever it is. And guess whose fault it will be, and which side the British press will take. And the same the next year.

Alonso is a great and sporting F1 driver. The people who denigrate him on here at best do not know what they are talking about.

And by and large I am a Kimi fan. Pure speed, total bravery, no politics.
Then Button. The third best driver in F1 today after Kimi and Alonso. He has overtaken more people this year than anyone else.

Welcome Mr Alonso to pistonheads. I would like to see Button and Hamilton in the McLaren for next year.
