For the past few gp's alonso has been understating hamiltons performances. following hamiltons debut win, alonso says he was 'lucky' to win. i think hes just nervous his rookie team mate will humiliate him by the end of the year. Formula 1 : News ALONSO - F1-Live.com
He was definitely not just lucky to win, Hamilton is a good driver and with the experience of the McLaren crew, he can definitely humiliate Alonso at the end of the year. He's something like 15 or 18 points behind Hamilton, so at the rate they're going, Hamilton will stay ahead of Alonso the whole time.
You could say he was but he also had some great races, and to knock off Michael in his last two years of racing you can't say it was all luck.
It was luck him beating Michael because he drove a Renault. Wouldnt you be nervous if u were him. A rookie is beating you and your supposed to be the best in the world. Hes probably jelous because hamilton is getting all of the attention atm.

I just read an article where it said that Alonso thinks the mechanics celebrate Hamilton's successes more than his because it's an English team and Hamilton is English. He says the Spanish press has more respect than the English press and that all the help and support would be for him. He's definitely feeling threatened, even when he says he understands everything.

Yeah, Silverstone isn't that good My favourite track is Melbourne but I'm biased. Oranje, anyone else, what's your favourite track?
Wow, u like melbourne?! i wonder why! trulli says he gets bored during the melbourne gp. how can u get bored driving at 200kph an hr. Spa is a great track. Monaco too.
I like the Hockenheimring, too bad they have to alternate between that and the Nurburgring now, but the Nurburgring isn't too bad either. The Turkish GP in Istanbul is a good one too.
Its funny u mention turkey two, did u know all the newly built tracks since malaysia have been designed by the same guy? kinda why theyre all quite similar
I never knew that. From Wikipedia, here's a list of the tracks he's made. * 1998 Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia * 2004 Bahrain International Circuit, Bahrain * 2004 Shanghai International Circuit, China * 2005 Istanbul Racing Circuit, Turkey * 2008 Singapore Grand Prix, Singapore * 2008 Valencia Street Circuit, Spain * 2009 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, UAE * 2009 Cape Town Grand Prix, South Africa * 2010 Korean International Circuit, South Korea And it says his trademarks are long straights and tight hairpins usually at the start of the track. F1 need some different designers lol.
Sort of off topic but I remember after the race they said Hamilton was the first black man to win an F1 race and it just made me think, what ever happened to that Indian driver, Karthikeyan or something like that? He drove for Jordan a couple of years ago, or even last year but then they got bought out by Spyker or even Toro Rosso maybe? Is he still a test driver?
