Alonso is a bad loser. That is my conclusion after the big fuss that he kicked up after Sunday. Everyone meets up with bad luck in F1, and after him having such good luck for such a long time, I really think that it is high time that he should have some bad luck. In fact, that engine failure that he had on Sunday was the ONLY time he had an engine failure in THREE years!! Note that!! THREE!! Why in the world is he complaining...? Goodness knows how many engine failures Raikkonen had last year, and he didn't complain at all...!(at least, not that I know of...).
After Raikkonen for having an engine failure last year, Alonso said, "A race is 60 laps, not 30"(or something else to that effect), and just look how smug he was each time some bad luck befell Raikkonen...! Now, simply because he had a penalty, he starts to say that he is embarrased by F1. Well, he certainly wasn't embarrased by it last year...! If I remember correctly, he was completely delighted because he won the F1 drivers' championship!
He says, "In the end, the honest people win." I have to disagree with that. As everyone knows, he won last year. That certainly wasn't an honest win. I'm not saying that Alonso cheated, but it was certainly an unimpressive win that convinced very few people. Other than that, how can it be true that the FIA are twisting the races in favour of Schumacher winning, when Schumacher himself was penalised two times, the same number as Alonso...? If he is so unhappy and embarrased with the sport just because he thinks that he was penalised unfairly, why doesn't he just quit the sport? I'm quite sure that the critics of Alonso will be cheering at that. (that includes my brother, and now me, after his behaviour.)
I'm simply wondering very long and hard about why people think that Alonso is talented. In his biography on the F1 site's Hall of Fame, he says that he is just an 'ordinary guy'. Ordinary indeed, because he is too shallow to be able to take defeat easily.
I just think it's good decision of Raikkonen's to join Ferrari next year, and not Renault. Maybe he'll be able to finally win a championship...! hahaha. Waiting for that...
