Makes no difference. Nobody knew how any Pirelli tire would behave. Initially he had no interest, then recanted. I already posted his comment about going if the team wanted him. The team must not have needed him to go that badly.Quote:

That is false and inaccurate.
He was working in the Ferrari simulator at the same time. That the Tyre test took place. Hardly the act of a lazy man.
Alonso's work ethic is good, and has been remarked on by Ferrari before.
It is strange to see a Pro- Vettel poster talking negatively about a driver putting his interest before the team. Malaysia this year wasn't Fernando.
Why was it reported simultaneously by most of the media outlets then? You'll have to do better than coming along with a week old account with three posts.Quote:

A quote by Fernando was supplied by a poster saying he didn't want to attend, but I found no mention on Google search of any "I don't work for Pirelli" quote relating to the YDT.
I have double-checked Google. No such quote by Alonso appears to exist.
Are you sure that it was widely reported?
I cannot post the link, but it is here
blogs.bettor.com
Look for this article = Carlos-Sainz Jr says he will miss Fernando Alonso at Young Driver Test
“I’m not testing, because I’m not allowed to test (car developments)!” he is quoted by Italy’s La Repubblica. ”Instead, I have important work to do on the simulator.”
Is the quote I find.
This. :DQuote:

I had hoped for a clearer, more precise,even an official media quote. Not a hearsay one. A primary source would be nice.
You know what a concise and primary source quote is, yes?
Here is one
"Multi 21 Seb, Multi 21"
Or, if you prefer,
"This is silly Seb"
Google that.
You are pathetic.
Now google "I do not work for Pirelli"
"I'm not working for Pirelli"
"ich arbeite nicht für Pirelli"
"Я не для Пирелли работаю"
That should yield enough sources even for your apologist brain, Fernando. It was reported all over the news. And btw. James Allen is not just anybody ;)
