Alonso: "Hamilton the best driver in Formula 1"

There are a lot similarities between alonso and lewis. Both horribly overrated, both crybabies and prima donna, both get raped by vettel on a weekly basis. No one even talks/cares about alonso/ham anymore. They all talk about vettel and just where he's going to end up on the all time greats list. The only time anyone talks about ham is when he wrecks someone else. Maybe that's why he keeps doing it?

Last I checked, they drove the same cars. So Alonso is either dumb as hell or that was translated from Spanish by a moron.

Exactly. This is a double whammy psychological warfare with both Massa and Hamilton.
Moral is to the physical as 3 is to 1.

I think people can and will read a million different things into this. My take on it is that what Alonso wants to say is that Hamilton is the best driver at making up for the deficiencies of a car that isn't the best on the grid. When the McLaren drivers were asked in an interview together to rate the other's strengths, Button said something very similar. The other question is, though, why is he driving a car that isn't the best? Because he couldn't bring six tenths of second to its development, perhaps? Being the best at driving round the car's limitations isn't the same as being the best...

Over the past few years, there has been several stories detailing their mutual respect as competitors and personally, I find it refreshing from what I consider to be the 2 best drivers in F1 at the moment.

Its funny though because most F1 discussion forums talk about Hamilton more than anything else and this one is no different. Its not always positive but he generates the most interest and thats undeniable. The press are no different in my experience.

Selective quoting. You're stooping lower every time.

I always thought English was your native language, I'm not sure anymore.

PS: He didn't use any buts, he used : 'the only time when...'. Slight difference that only a good English speaker will understand it.

Looks like it.
Anyway, I think we should stop the bickering before pino chimes in.

ioan, forgive me for butting in, but if you are to make criticisms of the English used by others, yours had better be perfect. It isn't, as the formulation of the first sentence above with a comma separating the clauses when a semi-colon would be more suitable, and the unnecessary 'it' at the end of the last sentence, make clear.

No one is perfect.
