I think everyone is reading into this way too much.
It's simply a case of Alonso being the bigger man.
Class Fernando. Much more than Ron or Lewis.
Well, you must have been locked away in a cryogenic chamber for quite some time and only just been released. Hamilton has on quite a few occasions complimented Alonso's driving skills and said he learned from him. Hamilton and Alonso are both eejits and although they may not get along, it's pretty tough to deny the truth. Alonso still harbours some bitterness about McLaren, a lot of which is unfair. Credit to him for being nice about Hamilton's gaffe's this year, but he's still got some learning to do.
