On the subject of confidence, I think it was seeing Massa back down in Malaysia which encouraged Alonso to stick it out on the outside, knowing he'd then have the inside line. However Massa's harsh reply, I think could also mean Alonso won't be quite so keen on trying that kind of move again! If a car is alongside you, do you think the other driver should be allowed to simply squeeze you onto the grass?
I know the way you treat drivers can have a great impact on future dices with the other drivers. Alonso stated I think in 2005 he much preferred racing against Kimi than JPM, because with JPM you knew he wouldn't be scared to put you on the grass or have some sort of contact!

FA: No, I don’t mean that. You will keep asking me until I say something wrong and I will not say. I think what I mean is that it was a very risky point in the race and I nearly finished my race in the first corner, unfortunately, when I felt that I went into the corner a little in front of the other car.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Don't both drivers have a team of mechanics, it's like two teams within a team. At least thats how I understood. Or are you suggesting Alonso gets more mechanics, or Fisichella's mechanics use to work on Alonso's car rather than Fisi's?

Alonso must be a bit rattled if the teams needs to make this kind of public statements about the situation, to help his morale:

At 19:15 Saturday, the FIA are announcing a new WRC event for 2025 at Sardegna. The event, I don't know - perhaps Paraguay.
