Alonso hate thread
 

I hate Alonso. What a pompous a$$. And he's only going to get worse. Pretty-boy is already whining and talking conspiracy. Recent comments: "F1 is not a sport any longer" & "Schumacher is the Most Unsporting Driver ever". Yeah, don't forget that he claims he can podium on a MotoGP bike with a little practice. What a tool. Is this the new era?

You're the Ferrari guy, right? :)

I don't know, he's what 22 or 23 years old? If I were him, I'd probably be a lot worse ... and the penalty last weekend was totally unjustified.

He has amazing skill and composure ... I think only time will tell whether he matures personally and professionally.

Yes, I am a Tifosi ;)

Pretty boy is right on all counts. Schumi is the tool.

I agree 100% that penalty was a load. But I can build an equall argument against MS's penalty in Hungary where he "passed during red" if you saw the video you would see FA screwing around with the pack instead of just driving to the pits quickly and orderly. He is playing games and almost causing accidents.

It looked to me like MS was tired of it and passed 50 feet from the pit entrance right into the pits.

Then we can go back to MS's "Blocking the qualy field" in Monoco. Did you notice about 2 weeks later he stalled his Ferrari in pit lane trying to lock in reverse and had to be pushed? Probably not. But I guess the perfect driver cannot make a mistake. Then MS passes every one on his way to 5th from the back of the field.

It has gone both ways, FA accusing F1 of fixing the races is rediculas.

My only regret is the fact that MS will not be around in 2008 when traction control is removed, or next year for that matter to wipe the place with FA's ego.

FA going bezerk during practice on Fridays because the track will not part when he come up on them is a joke. Its a matter of time before him and Doornbos end up wrecking during practice.

Lets see how pretty boy does when traction control is banned next season.

FA is nothing more than a b*tch with his accusations. I guess he's upset that he wont be partying with Flavio at the end of this season as MS gets the title.

He is not a delicate driver ... I predict he will have a hard time adapting to the loss of TC.

Is that next season or the following it wil be banned?

More from Alonso - "I love sport, I love the fans. I don't consider Formula One like a sport anymore."

I'd like to see Alonso win it. He is a technically great driver and is twice the gentleman that Schumi could ever hope to be.

That said, I found Schumi's speech on Sunday to be among the most eloquant and heartfelt things I've ever heard him say, although I wonder if he'd have launched into the same speech had he finished second (which I'd consider a characteristically insensitive act at upstaging Raikkonen or whoever else might have been first. . .)

I actually really love Schumacher's legacy. I just think he's a pompous prick off the track (and occasionally on it). He's a hard guy to like.

He's a spoiled little kid that will soon get a hard lesson.

Alonso rocks!

Another quote from the arrogant little prick from his interview on Spanish radio:

"I was one hundred percent sure that I could win the race from anywhere on the grid, to keep on scoring points and finish in front. What I'm sure about is that he who laughs last laughs longest."

He accused F1 of being less and less about "sport" - not fixing races. A lot of fans - and FA - are tired of FIA manipulating rules and rulings to the apparent benefit of Ferrari: mass dampers, flexi wings, rear wheel aero discs, on track violations (diff rules for MS than everyone else - blocking, veering, straightrunning chicanes). Just puts the questionmark and suspicion in a fans head, that's all. It's a fair enough gripe IMHO.

Never happen, Jim. FA is one of the most talented ever - with or without control aids. You don't get through karting, lesser formula and into F1 that fast to become the youngest winner and the youngest WDC without being a special talent. These kind of guys can win in and with anything. As much as you drive, deep down you really know this.

Near as I can remember (far too long!!) it's been a tradition to make room for the WDC as a sign of respect. Maybe Doornbos should've moved over? I wonder how many brake checks over the season amongst the other drivers were never commented on or punished before Hungary?

Fun thread, lets keep it going!

Hardly spoiled. Arrogant, maybe. But not spoiled - came from a very unprivileged background. His talent was spotted very early on in karts and won him backers. If he didn't win as much and as often as he did - we would have never heard of him. He didn't have the money or connections to create a career.

You guys crack me up... look at any professional sport F1/football/basketball etc. and you got a bunch of kids mostly in their twenties who are multi-millionaires, loved and adored by millions of fans, acknowledged to be the best physical specimens living in the world...

And you can't imagine why they act like pricks. :rolleyes:

I'm not justifying the way they act however I think Rodeo has a good point. Would any of use act any better with all that fame and fortune and the tremendous pressure that goes with it at such a young age?

Schumi ain't a 20-something, he's 37.

I've seen 20-somethings actually act more grown-up than him on occasion - and I'm talking RECENT actions.

What has he done that is so immature? A smack on Sato's helmet a last year - well, it was justified. Sato was driving like an idiot.

Fernando Alonso has described Michael Schumacher as "the most unsporting driver in the history of formula one." Apparently Alonso told Spanish station Radio Marca that he thinks Michael will be leaving F1 with more than seven championship trophies. He also thinks Schumi will be leaving with less dignity than French World Cup headbutter Zinedine Zidane.

"Zidane retired with more glory than Schumacher," Alonso was quoted as saying. "Michael is the most unsporting driver with the largest number of sanctions in the history of formula one. That doesn't take away from the fact that he has been the best driver and it has been an honour and pleasure to battle against him. Everyone has their time and you have to respect his decision. Things will be more equal now."

Huh... what... is this guy schizophrenic or what?
