other than the title of the article - "So long Alonso" and if this article is actually non-fiction - (we just don't know really what the press gives us sometimes) . . :dozey:
. . . this is an interesting article.
Hamilton is blunt, honest and not disrespectful of his team mate and world champion Fernando Alonso. And he manages this as he says that he will eventually beat FA and that the sooner the better.
I'm sure Fernando Alonso is ready foor the challenge
Quote:
It's just a matter of time, added Hamilton. "I'm working extremely hard. Fernando is very talented and a credit to the team. He's the toughest driver I've competed against and it's going to be very hard to beat him.
"It doesn't mean I can't do it. I don't know when. Soon I hope."
Hamilton denied there was any friction with Alonso (right).
"I'm with Fernando. We're a team and we're working together," he said.
"Of course we want to beat each other but that doesn't overpower our drive for the team."

Thing about Hamilton...he didn't have the pleasure of kicking Michael Schumacher's ass over the past two years. I'm sure that he'll have a great career and will win a GP this year, very very impressive. But there is nothing like the pleasure of owning Michael.
I doubt whether Michael was concerned about "owning" the likes of Fangio or Clark. A driver can only beat who is in the same field as him at the time he is racing, and Hamilton has already proved he can match a 2 x WDC in the same car, the same 2 x WDC who "owned" MS in 2005/6.Quote:
