It was Ron Dennis who ruined the Championship for Alonso, because he wanted his own discovery, the Englishman Hamilton for champion and supported him, at the cost of Alonso. If Alonso had been treated fair (once he even had to complain publicly) he would have been Champion 07 100%. Ron Dennis ruined it! Lucky Kimi!

@frankietiddles hamilton did the same thing in 2008 in the same circuit... also, alonso was the better driver in 2008,in fact the spanish was voted for almost all paddock for his season with a poor car that year. ok, you can said singapur 2008, crash gate... ok ok, agree with taht but... fuji? he won there too, and nobody help him. and in 2010 alonso was the only one how could fight for the championship, AND HE DID WITH THE THIRD CAR OF THE GRID!!!

@han06040721 who act like they are fair and inpartial when in reality they are just like any other team.

@han06040721 Shouldn't i? I mean isn't that what giving both drivers equal treatment is all about?? Actually No i really don't excect that. I expect them to act like they give there drivers equal opportunities but in reality stab one of them in the back. I don't think there is a team around that gives both drivers qual opportunities. Favoritism can be found at all teams if you look hard enough. Maybe that's right, maybe it's wrong. The difference is that Mclaren are the only team

[han06040721]

@xflynskywlkr23 I don't seriously think you believe that. You expect the team to provide a driver with (at the point of his complaint) no realistic chance of winning the WDC updates before Lewis? Or give the updates to a driver who was fighting for and leading the championship. If it was the second race of the season and McLaren were providing Lewis with all their resources then fair enough, but it wasn't.

@han06040721 Maybe he was justifed in critisizing the team in monaco but there are other incidents like turkey 2009 when he complained about his cars lack of performance over the team radio saying "i need a new car" while almost crying or something similar. He is not the stand up guy you portray him as.

[xflynskywlkr23]

@han06040721 So not being as good justifies getting thrown under the bus in the sole interest of your teammate? The fact that hekki didn't perform as well as hamilton doesn't change the fact that ron threw him under bus and in so doing proved that this whole "equal opportunities" mantra that we always hear from Mclaren is all lies. Not saying that is what happened to fernando but ron has proved he has no credibility whatsoever.

the best prove of the favouritism one enjoyed and the other suffered... first the commentators.. Hamilton stayed ahead (it's a tactic) Alonso holds him in the pit (it's naughty), and then Dennis acting angry and miserable, why?, didn't he had both cars 1st and 2nd?, yep, because Alonso was ahead of Lewis, that's why. i don't give a shit about neither of them, i'm a Jenson Button fan, but anybody who thinks Alonso was wrong, is mentally washed by Brits Tabloids and doesn't have a mind of his own.

@ritchierhoads alonso acted like a fucking bitch whole season, he didnt deserve the title in 07

vergonzoso!!!1

@xflynskywlkr23 He was fully justified in speaking to the press about those things. And I wouldn't say he was being particularly critical of the team (other than at Monaco), he was just pointing out what was plainly visible. Which was reflected in McLaren's handling of the situations. There is no symmetry between those examples and what Fernando did.
