You can tell Boullier isn't even swallowing his own ** Swear words must be fully starred ** anymore.

Oh Herbert you bloody hypocrite!

Having a go at Alonso for allowing his frustration to boil over on team radio, then you do exactly the same thing on live TV and allow your frustration with him to boil over into (admittedly mild) expletives.
 
Herbert is entirely correct. Alonso took 25+ mil a year, of which half is paid by Honda. If he's unhappy with the car, leave. Instead he basically went and had a straight up go at Honda at their home race.

The more I hear it the more I think it was planned by Alonso and Mclaren. I honestly think they wanted to embarrass Honda into firing Arai as it seems fairly clear they believe he won't get the job done. They get to while on track excuse the outburst as adrenaline, emotion, etc. Then all go back to the PC "everything is great" lines after the race.
 
So basically what Crofty's saying is that McLaren want to continue to tie up two ex-champion drivers in their joke of a team because that's all they have going for them from a PR point of view?

Just makes me hate them even more.
 
"The problem when you're uncompetitive is everyone has opinions and I wish they'd keep them to themselves"

Seriously Ron? Your whole team is a joke and everyone else is fully entitled to air their opinion of you. I suggest you grow the **** up and deal with it.

Can he actually do that? He'd have more hassle breaching his contract surely (unless there's some sort of clause in it).

Sport is weird, a lot of people in various sports end up retiring somewhere in the middle of a contract. Retiring appears to be a 'get out of jail free' card for sports. I think if you want to stay in the sport, be it football or F1, it can be incredibly difficult to leave. If you want to leave the sport full stop, it becomes pretty easy to just leave.

I think if Alonso retired from F1 and did something else then it would be fine, if he came back in 2017, you may find Ron getting irate about it and maybe demanding a fee from the new team ALonso was on.

Retiring from sport makes for some very weird contract situations.
 
Ron just interviewed on Sky f1.

Said the driver criticisms were "not constructive" :D
 
The thing is alonso has rolled the dice and lost by joining mclaren. It could've went completely the other way if Honda had got it right. He just needs to get over it. He hasn't won anything for years so what's another year of driving round not winning anything? It's not like he's only paid for winning. He's getting millions regardless...
