I'm curious why the press always asks Alonso who his chief rivals for the title are, like it's a foregone conclusion he's going to be fighting for it. The person they ought to be asking is Sebastian Vettel. You know? The reigning world champion.

Thank you.

Surely they ask more than one person?

Which 'press' asked him? English? Spanish? German?

My comment was meant as nothing more than the lack of sportsmanship, strictly imo of course, that I witness amongst a few here. Me being a Ferrari fan has nothing to do with it but I see that was the chosen path taken . It's mearly testing and I want too see all the teams do good and I know thats hard for some of you to realize/accept but I don't critique every little flaw/error or mishap as an opportunity to take a jab at another teams misfortune.

Also I'm not a hypocrit and those who think I am well that just shows how small minded they are and they do not know me at all.

And what few would that be, that Mclaren fans should have a two minute silence whenever a red car suffers Ferrari fans need to learn to take what they dish out pronto, before they suffer heart failure.

I think they are hoping that he says Hamilton so that they can pit the two against each other and blow every little incident between the two out of proportion.

That must be it. It always seems to be him specifically.

Which in all probability will include lewis in a McLaren . And I doubt Alonso's musings will have troubled his mind one little bit. Made him grin I imagine at this attempt at mind games.

There's a double purpose:
1. Upbeat Schumacher's image, which is the rival he's beaten, thus giving more credit to his championships
2. Downplay the importance of the new dominant, real rivals. Red Bull... and specially Vettel.

Lewis? huh?
He's not even ran the new car... and anyway, no need to play mind games on him, he's got his own mind to play them on him

who really cares who Alonso THINKS are HIS rivals. Whats it really matter? im sure none of the other drivers really give a s*** what some eye brow says. Maybe the drivers he doesnt think are rivals can waive their fists at him like a moron?

He's starting to sound like the chihuahua that wont stop barking!!

Or the other 3 before that,two of those being teammates in the greatest team ever[BMW]excluded


Wait I forgot one of those rallies

[F1er]

Are you telling me you'll start tearing up if Lewis smashes into a wall or his engine breaks down while he's leading a race?

Please get of the so called high horse...its a camel.

nothing like ferrari fans to immediately call out others on bad sportsmanship when it doesnt work for them.

Id like to know what the jeering fans in Monza were in 2009 an 2010 when Lewis crashed, lemme guess? passionate?

Anyone thats "passionate" when an F1 car crashes, is on fire, or is flying in the air.................is an IDIOT

They asked Schumacher and his answer was father time

[bigpat]

I think they ask all the frontrunners the same question, it's just that you may see the footage or read the print when Alonso is asked.

Could also be the fact that he is the most easily accessible of the contenders at the time. I think that we all can be a little precious about this....
