Just found a cool read on what Alonso thinks as other drivers he see's as title rivels in 2011. Some views we can share and maybe also on the contrary to what what people think about Alonso's views on other drivers. Nice to see drivers describing others. Alonso on Sebastian Vettel: "Very fast and accurate. Once he's on top in a race, there is no going back" Alonso on Mark Webber: "He is very experienced, calm and very consistent. It is rare to see him go wrong. " Alonso on Jenson Button: "He has a great instinct for difficult races with rain or safety car periods. This is a unique talent. " Alonso on Michael Schumacher: "He's the champion. We all respect him and he is always able to surprise. " Alonso on teammate Felipe Massa: "he is very rapid, knows the team inside and out and is extremely hungry to win." finally Alonso on Lewis Hamilton: "He's a great driver, possibly the fastest driver at the moment in Formula 1." No wumming please.
Alonso respects his rivals. Although I think the english media have a bit of a translation problem, as seen on PlanetF1: http://planetf1.com/driver/3213/6754052/Alonso-Rates-His-F1-Rivals it says: Alonso believes his former McLaren team-mate Hamilton is "a great driver and the fastest of the current Formula One grid" Alonso actually said "Es un gran piloto y de los más rápidos de la actual parrilla de la Fórmula 1." - which actually means "He is a great driver and one of the fastest drivers on the grid in F1 at the moment"
El As a life long fan of 30+ yrs but still 40, I never waste time. Not stupid enough to tag someone either that ive never met. Same reason that I can comment without reprisal. Clever Scotsman lol. Good post, and if you remember me from 606, i respect ALL DRIVERS, and your post here is not comparable *to 606 posts you've previously made, which shows why you should never judge. But still give a dig when it's warranted. Fernando Alonso is a class act, and as much as I love Schumacher, I love the whole grid, so you're post is refreshing this time as well as a few I've read you've posted here on N606. Not what I remember on previous 606. N606 sounds good huh.* Alonso gets it tight as well as many drivers from idiots.(amateur F1 fans). Alonso respects his advesaries, as they do him. Same for all drivers. Kubica terribly injured, he's (Fernando) *there asap for his friend. Others too. But idiots read something else from it. Keep it going EL,B and I will comment on your article's if they are in the nature of the sport and as unbiased as this.* Well done mate. Seriously. 5 starred if I could.*I know your passionate on Alonso, all good. Stevi555
Hi Stevi555, I was only on 606 for a week before people got me banned as they thought I was Jose. I still keep an eye on 606 but its gone really downhill recently. Dont worry Im not a WUM though by looking at my name you may think im in that clique. Its just a piss take of EL_NANDO and his multiple IDs that got banned. Also Yes I am an Alonso fan but Im a huge fan of all the drivers and have been an avid F1 fan since I was very young. Good to see you over here and look forward to your posts.
El_Bando is not a wum just a victim of Lorca Watch on 606 and payed the price for having a "iconic yet different" username.
