What if they ran with Alonso and A. Wayne?

No arguments, no fights and no politics. Alonso could behave like a child and still win...

F1 cars only hold one person. They would have to figure out how to pry them apart first.

I, on the other hand, make no assumptions about British justice or trickery.
I guess I believe his testimony over your opinion and thinly veiled racism.

Kurt,

Not necessary. The one is so far up the back of the other that they should fit in snuggly...

Alonso is a win at any/all costs and Dennis is "save face" at all costs. This is my take on these 2 silly little men.

A dispotic(sp?) father and a spoiled child is the bottom line here, put the 2 together and you have a battle!

Sad too because both are top notch in F1, it is just the attitudes that really take away from it. Grow up and get some integrity and both would kick major ****!!

I’ve said this before but it never ceases to amaze me at how finite we are when analyzing the disputes in F1. We really have so very little information of what transpires every minute of every day that we have no idea why someone like Alonso or Dennis reacts like he did. Or anyone for that matter. But its fun anyway.

Oh c'mon A. Wayne, we're all having a little fun, it's Friday and we have another week to go before the next race.

Take a swig of the Vodka you have chilled for the Finn until Oct. It'll calm the nerves.

2 questions, pls:

Isn't it now established fact that Alonso tried to blackmail Dennis, and that in response Dennis launched a Protection Reaction Strike by notifying the FIA about the Ferrari documents?


Did McLaren pay Stepney for the info [either money or a job]? (Why would Stepney offer them the purpoined documents without an incentive?)


Quick Reply: Ron Dennis confirms Alonso blackmailed him
