I love this. I'm still pissed at Ron Dennis for how he treated Andretti.

2008: Alonso wins the championship in the Spyker.

Is there any site out there that confirms some of th details that the Speed crew mentioned during the Italian or Belgian Grand Prix? Specifically that Alonso had demanded that Hamilton be suspended/removed from his seat for the remainder of the year?

Alonso... very pathetic individual... great driver, but...

Ron Dennis is no better. He should leave with what shread of decency he has left, if any.

Actually, the rumor was that Alonso told Dennis, "make me your #1 driver in every possible way or I go to the FIA and tell them all of the bad things I have been doing with Ferrari secrets".

Wouldn't it be interesting if Alonso's car mysteriously failed to finish in one of the upcoming races?

It is funny that you mentioned that. I was just thinking that I would not put it past Ron to deliver just that kind of payback.

What a big surpise... Look who is reporting - BBC UK news. As if the British press would think twice between putting a blame on Spaniard and Briton and British team.

They directly quoted Ron Dennis, "genius". DUH.

I am amazed that the pansies in the FIA disqualified McLaren but not Alonso the little ****bag. I mean, come on. BLACKMAIL? And he is still allowed to compete for the Drivers' Championship? What crap.

Ask Dale Earnhardt Jr about that one.

Think about it a little more. Ron clearly is pulling for Hamilton, there are no constructors points to be had so he shouldn't care who finishes 2nd, and I bet Ron would do just about anything to keep the #1 on his car next year. That wouldn't happen if Alonso wins and leaves. Really, without a complete meltdown, Kimi has no chance of catching Hamilton, only Alonso does. Look for Alsonso's car to break as soon as Raikkonen and Massa are mathematically out of it.
