What are you talking about the Newspaper in spain think Alonso is the second coming he cheat like most of the population so he there hero...... This is what someone put up on my blog
ITV may not be doing the best job in the world but even they are a helluva more objective and cool-headed that the TV channel which broadcasts the races in Spain, Telecinco - I should know, I watch both of them. T5 has two fanatical individuals called Lobato and Serrano who are fully signed up members of the 'Alonso Fan Club' and who make no bones about it. Amusingly, this has translated in interviewing no-one aside from Alonso to contrast views. One shouldn't be too hard on them, perhpas their English is not up to scratch. All that's missing from their broadcasts is a declaration of war on 'Perfidious Albion', but not to worry - that's something the Spanish sport's tabloids have done with aplomb this week. Just read the editorial in one of their daily rags - AS - to confirm their rabid Anglophobia.
Tell me Javier, how do you keep a straight face when you come from a country driven by testosterone and not cool analysis? What can possibly be wrong with a country that still needs to make references to a little battle off the south coast of England in 1588 whenever incidents such as these come up? What a sad bunch you lot are.
A Face of a Cheat
Actually, a lot of the TV coverage here, while pro-Alonso during the races, is pretty fair and they don't immediately jump to Alonso's side. It's only papers and websites that seem to do that, as (from what I can see) the UK papers are doing too.
