I don't recall a single driver who instilled more fear when seen in your mirrors than Yuji Ide. :p

I agree, and Alonso has been that driver many, many times. Had he made the right choices and landed in better cars, I think he would be close to or on par with any other records held by those that had such fortune. In terms of purely driving skill, I would find it hard to name any other driver in recent years that is better.
I'll miss Fernando big time... and he wasnt just great, he was fucking great! end of...
Right choices .
Climate change in all the teams he left , left him in bad luck .
He's not so disruptive , if you ask Fisichella , a guy he soundly beat .
But ask someone more affected by a confident toreador beside him and you'll get a different answer , or a pout .
Apparently, Alonso claims Redbull offered him Ricciado's seat and he rejected it. Horner is also quoted as saying that no offer was made to Alonso. The whole thing kind of stinks.
Let me quote Joe Saward:

Well, I'll tell you a story. In Baku I was talking to a senior Red Bull Racing individual known as Christian and Flavio Briatore approached: "Oh God," Christian said (Sorry if this sounds like Pilgrim's Progess). "He's trying to sell me Alonso again. We don't want him." I was not surprised by responded: "You don't want him?". Christian looked to the skies and said: "We have no interest in him at all". I will leave it to you to figure out who is telling the truth in this case...
