Of course it would be non-existant. No one cares about Alonso's championship prospects since he is with a crap team and has no chance anyway. But today's incident has clearly knocked Hamilton back a few steps in the championship race... that's why people are making a big deal out of it.
I think you misunderstood what I said
I meant that if the other culprit driver was not Alonso i.e. say Sato or Davidson or someone else, this issue wouldnt have been talked about.
I.e. Given the bad history between Hamilton and Alonso, Alonso was immediately accused of brake testing.
Actually a similar thing happened later on during the race between Nelson Piquet Jr and another driver (I think a Toro Rosso). The Toro Rosso was behind the Renault out of the first corner and managed to get better traction that the Renault infront, and started to gain at a dramatic rate, the difference was that the Toro Rosso driver BRAKED before slamming into the back of the Renault, exactly the same situation. If I can find the footage of this, ill post a linky!
Dont get me wrong, if its a choice between Hamilton or Alonso for the win Id go with Hamilton anyday... but the fact that he is a British Driver with British commentators probably further fuels the argument (which is natural).
Even Brundle was about to get out of his seat, but managed to stay calm and collected about it.
I know Alonso can be an idiot, but hes a two time world champion and by brake testing during the race, he would not only damage his car, but make his bosses unhappy, not to mention the sponsers investing millions into Renault F1. I dont think Alonso is that stupid to cause such malicious intent.
