The thing about Alonso is you always get his A game. He has been a bit of a polarizing character, but that is partly because he is so damn honest about his team, and his chances. He is also very good at testing, and assisting in the development of the car, probably underrated in this arena by many. In Jense' I really think you get about the same thing to a slightly lesser degree, but without the attitude, I mean he is a proper Brit. Personally I'll take an ounce of talent, over a pound of propriety. At any rate I would think that all concerned parties have learned from the past, and have a reasonably good game plan. I really hope the McLaren-Honda package is competitive, because inquiring minds really do want to know how loudly Fred will be booed if he makes the podium at Monza!

I hope they get the car right. It should be interesting to see how they do with the differences in personality and driving style. We know Fred is always in the limelight, and Jenson just quietly gets it done.

I hope no photos surface of Fred stopping at the copy shop en route to McLaren.

Me also, because it is common knowledge that Jessica took some naughty selfies for Fred.

I could think of much better cars to copy than the one Fred drove this year.

Considering McLaren's performance this year, I wouldn't be surprised if he did.
But I'm sure Luca handed him James Allison's awesome new design for next year...

I guess we know who is #1, and #2 at McLaren, at least on a subliminal level. Or am I just being paranoid?

Well, Jenson is standing in front of the #1 and Alonso is standing in front of the #2, so...........
