AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the rivalry between Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1, with participants expressing strong opinions about their performances and team dynamics. Many argue that Hamilton has shown remarkable skill, particularly in challenging races, and is poised to win the championship, despite some technical issues and team favoritism towards him. Others contend that Alonso, a two-time champion, has been undermined by McLaren's bias and poor strategic decisions, which have affected his performance. The conversation also touches on the impact of team politics, with some believing that McLaren's decision to support both drivers equally has led to missed opportunities for winning the championship. Participants express mixed feelings about Alonso's complaints regarding team support and Hamilton's rookie status, debating whether his success is due to talent or the advantages of being in a top team. Overall, the thread highlights the complexities of driver rivalries, team strategies, and the influence of external factors in Formula 1 racing.

Well it would have been different had McLaren done what they were supposed to do and backed Alonso. They would have had at least the drivers championship.

Wouldn't that have made matters worse for them?

In other news, we will have a flashy new night race next season, while Nurburgring is out of the calender. :frown:

The Nurburgring isn't a great loss in my opinion. I just wish they'd get the Nordschleife back on the calendar. There are going to be 3 street races next year as well. That should be interesting.

yes that certainly would have added to the fire, but then Mclaren had two champs, that is always a problem. you can't have two people fighting for the same title from the same team. competitors are supposed to be aggressive towards each other, that's how they fight. and when the two competitors were in same garage, garage wasnt a happy place to be in

I don't think there would be problems in a team with two competing drivers, unless one, or both, is an immature brat. :wink:

like alonso in mclaren?? or lewis in mclaren??
 
  • #59
Obviously Lewis. If they'd kept him on the leash properly alonso wouldn't have been penalised in Hungary and he would have won the race and the drivers championship. :biggrin:

enough.
i don't like alonso a bit, he always keeps complaining about the team and lewis, he aint a team man.
last season too, he complained about giancarlo fisichella.

Bring back Hakkinen! :biggrin:

The commentators were actually discussing this situation at the last race. What if Mika could return to the driver's seat and play a sort of supporting role/mentor to Hamilton.

Yeah, right! :rolleyes:
