Alonso is a “Clown”
Outspoken Former F1 Driver Eddie Irvine has launched a scathing attack on the Double World Champion Fernando Alonso by calling the Spaniard a “Clown”.
Alonso, who finished 4th at Australia on his debut return to Renault, believes that Renault and himself can go from strength to strength starting at this weekend’s Malaysian GP.
But Irvine, who retired in 2002 with 4 wins to his name, hopes Alonso gets what he deserves after the sour partnership with McLaren team-mate Lewis Hamilton last year.
“He is really going to regret what he did last year and he deserves every bit of bad luck and misery he can get. There has been talk of the Lewis v Alonso situation being even more intense this year but he’s not even on Lewis’ radar any more except for when Lewis comes up to lap him. And maybe he will try and mess about with the leaders because after last year I think Alonso is capable of anything.”
Although Irvine admits that he is a good driver, there’s nothing else to say.
“The guy is a clown and I don’t know anyone who has any respect for him. He’s a good driver and that’s it. Full stop!”

Clowns are more admired than fools, like certain E. Irvine

Alonso has very good friends among the F1 pilots (just look at the pictures in the paddock), seems to me that some more than Lewis
So Irvine is a lier, an absolute clown and a big loooooser!!

Irvine himself was a mere puppet. An average driver at most. In fact Mika Salo (as Michaels replacement when he had fractured his leg in 1999) gave a win away to Edmund supporting him for the championship. But it wasn’t enough. It’s fair to say Irvine only won three times.
This guy has always had a loud mouth and that’s all he ever was and will be remembered from. I guess he knows that too.

Hello!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my bad english.
Lets start from the point that we all know Alonso is the best driver in F1. if we don’t agree on that one, then you don’t know nothing. stop reading… sorry…. thanks….
ok. If you still here… Alonso is for long distance the best driver. my bet… he is now at ferrari. you will see for now on, they both make the best car, maybe in two years. adn then maybe 4 world championships on a row. yow will see. if you want to pu any money in a bet. i’ll be glad.
This Eddie boy… ufff… he is just a loser guy. maybe he can drive indi cars, or so. but f1 it’s something else.
