Whiners and Moaners - II

Mood : Gobsmacked and Gutted !!!

It is him again! I did mention him in Whiners and Moaners and his recent comment gives me extra confidence in my humble opinion. Two world titles after hard fought battles against the world's best Formula One driver ever have not changed this whine-kid from Spain, Fernando Alonso.

When I first noticed him whining, he had not yet won his second world title. It was during Schumi's recurrecting drive in the second half of last season that Alonso complained about lack of support from the team. He was of the impression that the team did not want him to win because then he would take the car numbered 1 along with him to Mclaren in the 2007 season. How juvenile does it get? Does a reigning World Champion talk like this about his team mates?

His latest problem was exactly one week ago. It was the Canadian Grand Prix of the 2007 season held at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal. F1 debutant and British hot shot Lewis Hamilton won his first ever race after a flawless performance in qualifying and the race itself. Alonso himself made a mistake, braking into turn 1 in the very first lap and did the same mistake at the same turn twice more, later on in the race, which eventually cost him a lot of positions and points. He has the audacity to say that Mclaren being a British team and Hamilton being a British driver, the team rallies behind Hamilton. I personally think Alonso is cribbing and trying to pass the buck and blame the team for his lack of performance. I have no comments to do justice to such a blasphemous attack by Alonso on his boss and his team mates.
