I tell you what. I was losing faith in Alonso's ability and was beginning to think that maybe he was trading on past reputations. After the string of strong results in recent races, he has restored my faith in his ability. Like many, I too believe he is the most complete driver in F1.
I questioned Whitmarshs comments, when he stated that he has a policy of hiring the best 2 drivers in F1, at all times. After McLaren let Alonso go, I questioned if Whitmarsh really had the balls to hire 2 top drivers. After hiring Button, I believe that he wasn't talking bull.
I do wonder that had Whitmarsh been in charge of McLarenF1 in 2007, would he have let Alonso go?
Ron Denis well and truly lost it in 2007, when he was crying whenever Hamilton won a race. He really was in it to play happy families. When he stepped down in 2008, I think it was the right decision as he just didn't seem to possess the killer will to win, which he possessed in the 80s and 90s. During those years he would've done anything to hold onto the best driver(s), as was witnessed during the Prost/Senna/McLaren era.
Bring on the rain.
I honestly think someone may have said to him " Look Lewis we understand you need to push and get plenty of points this weekend, but ffs just take it easy eh? " It looks like he's slipping back into that 2007 era where he just made so many silly mistakes which were blamed on his lack of experiance, now he's been world champ he should be doing better than this. Alonso is really showing why he is a 2 time world champion in this second half of the season. The guy is a major player in this years championship and may well nail the next 4 races and clinch the title. Lewis is still my absolute favourite though
