Though obviously Alonso's comments are not very political correct, and if you'd ask Ron whether he would want Ron saying these things, the answer would obviously be no. However....do we want drivers who only say what their bosses want them to say, or do we want drivers with personalities and characters?
The people critizising Alonso are probably the same people who slag the drivers off for not stating their opinions etc!

How is that he isn't complaining? He's previous words were exactly that, complaining.

Alonso's reading too many of the English press clippings !!!
He does seem to "Bitch" when things are not going his way... remember last year @ Renault !!!
Lewis complained about "team orders"... just a couple of weeks ago !!!
IMO... Ron will wait at least another two or three races before favoring the driver who is leading in points.

I do think Alonso is feeling the pressure from Hamilton, pressure that he didn't expect, and it's going to be fascinating to see how they both respond as the season goes on.
I'm sure we'll have worse headlines than "Alonso complains" from the media as the season goes on.Riccardo Patrese - 256GPs 1977-1993

The question is if Hamilton keeps scoring big and puts himself in that position, will Ron Dennis favour Hamilton over Alonso on the WDC title fight for the last last few rounds..? And would then Alonso accept to defend Hamilton and team interests instead of his own personal interests?
Will Alonso, if starts getting beat on a regular basis by Hamilton, keep himself at McLaren next year? I mean Hamilton shouln't get any worse with a year long racing experience on his back... And Alonso surely doesn't have the necessary profile to be regular 2nd driver...
This season is deffo getting interesting.

What he shouldn't have said was: "all the support and help is going to him and I understood that from the beginning"
Maybe he'll say he was mis-quoted or the translation got messed up and that what he meant was that Lewis would get the support from the fans. It seems ridiculous for him to claim that the team isn't providing whatever is necessary to a 2 time WDC who they are paying a lot of money.

Alonso's irrational, and tempestious true colors finaly come out.,
Unless the entire team is working for him, and his teammate doesn't challenge him, then he is fine. As soon as the team offers a fair and balcned approach to both drivers, he bitches.
He certainly wasn't bitching in Monaco!
He acts like a spolied brat who expects people to bow down to his greatness, move out of his way on the track, and arrogantly expects all other drivers to slow up for his purposes.
He is obviously frustrasted and vents in the wrong manner.
That's the difference between him and Michael Schumacher. You would never see him bitch about his team. And if called to do so, would play a supportinog role to his teammate. I could never see Alonso, 10-12 races into the year willingly trying to help Hamilton win the WDC if he is adrift in the points.
I guess this type of rivalry is good for the sport, two fast drivers in identical cars competing for the WDC, In this case we can't say, "we will never know" because they are driving two diofferent cars" argument.
What a year it is turning out to be. 4-6 drivers with a real abilty to win races and even more to podium.you can't argue with results.
