At the beginning of the season, I would have been happy to see Alonso win another WDC. Now, you can count me as an ABFA fan: Anyone but Fernando Alonso. That a-hole can't handle being beaten legitimately on the track by his rookie teammate. Well that's too fargin' bad.

If Alonso wants #1 status, let him earn it like anyone else. If that dim-wit had done his homework, he would have known that McLaren, under Ron Dennis, has never had a #1 driver in terms of team orders and preferential treatment. #1 emerges as the season progresses and one driver has a clear lead in the points. Even then, Ron insists on letting his drivers race eachother, so long as it doesn't hurt the overall team performance.

Even the incident with the pre-race agreement between Coulthard and Hakkinen in Australia, that got rather stern warnings from the FIA, was an agreement that who ever led into the first turn between the two McLaren's would go unchallenged by his teammate. But, it was still a race to the first corner.

As a McLaren fan, I hope FA leaves at the end of the season. I think Spyker would be a good place for him.
