Do Alonso get paid from Ferrari/others to thrash mclaren?

I think each member have their own right to tell their assessment, having said that this is democratic forum, isn't this?

That my parents have summer cabin? All you had to do was ask. ;)

Ask them why they support Alonso. The answer is because he is spanish.

Then ask them who did support before Alonso won his first race. The answer is they didn't watch that boring F1 thing at all before

And I assume you know that for a fact because you have super powers reaching beyond the limits of common knowledge or respect.

It's so funny how people come to conclusions about things they don't have a clue about it.

Come on. If you've been to Spain recently you must know what I'm talking about.
I understand that you can support your national basket or football team as they wear the name of your country, but in motor racing like tennis or golf are just individual names. I will support the one I like how plays or drives, not because he is from here or from there
I've been supporting different teams or drivers for almost 30 years without sentimental basis so I can tell you that it can be done without having any gift of objectivity

Which is very nice for you, but it does not prove or validate your previous point about Spanish fans.
