Spanish or Italian by the sounds of it.

He was over driving the car. What did he have to lose with Vettel comfortably leading the race and championship?

Hamilton was stuck behind Kubica. Which tells you how hard the Renaults were difficult to overtake. Hamilton went off and ruined his LF tyre with flat spots. That must be lack of talent.

Gosh, which is worse? the previous examples or spearing into cars when trying to overtake. I find the latter almost unforgivable compared to what Alonso did in Abu Dhabi.

So now you think that Petrov is as good as Kubica? I wouldn't say teh opposite but I do not remember people stating this until now.

Also Hamilton has tried several times to get by, while Alonso had troubles getting close to Petrov even though he was all over the place and constantly outbraking himself.

IMO Alonso is bad in one to one racing (he's been bumping into other cars quite a lot this season, a bit like Alguersuari) and he's not the fastest out there either. If it weren't for team orders and 3 mechanical failures for Vettel Alonso would have never had the slightest chance to the title.

Probably the one with the red mist.

Blame yourself or your team, not the opposition when all they did was their job.

I think Alonso's gesture to Petrov was wrong and unsporting, but I find it amazing how much people hate Alonso. I mean, when Hamilton was caught lieing to the stewards that time in Australia, for example, why didn't he earn the nickname "the liar"? Or the time when when Vettel was gesticulating in Hungary over his drive-through penalty? Or Vettel's "crazy" signs about Webber in Turkey? It's not like Alonso is only the imperfect person out there, and yet all the bile is tossed at him.

People laugh over Hunt punching a marshall, or Piquet attacking Salazar, but Alonso steps out of line and half the people on here want to crucify him.

He's making it very easy with his behavior.

The all were criticized, or worse, at that time, so why shouldn't Alonso be criticized too?! Maybe you can explain us?

But he's always doing this stuff. Whining at the team to get Massa out of the way in Germany, causing problems in McLaren, being aware of the cheating that went on in Singapore with Piquet and acting as if he was a saint. If Alonso just drove he'd be FAR more popular. He's a good driver, but as a character he's consistently sub-par.

You're being kind.

As Ioan said about Hamilton, he was criticised at the time. Tbh I don't see that liegate controversy as being that bad. It was just very very silly of McLaren and Lewis. I'm not the biggest Lewis fan tbh but even I can't hold the lying fiasco against him.
