Posted by HakkF1

Think we're jumping the gun a bit here.
If Fernando did say these things when he signed for McLaren(and I personally can't remember him making any comments like these TBH) then he said them at the end of 2005. Or if he said them when he actually joined Macca, then he said them at the beginning of 2007. That's a long time ago, a lot has happened since then, and a lot has changed too.
Also, people are allowed to change their minds.

remember what happened to Prost...
I think you have to remember back then Ferrari, I mean Todt did not want him as Alonso had already said no to the team once and Todt was not happy.
So if Alonso made any comments that is probably why.
I read the other comments yesterday about Mclaren and the spygate thing and how he is happy he helped turn the team in.
Think he has to remember though that he was more than happy to test ferrari parts and keep quiet until Hungry

One can only hope for Alonso's sake that there is actual substance behind the quote(?) because he doesn't even have rallying to fall back on.

But how much did Alonso ever even say/do that was bad though? We know that in 2007 he was made to look like the bad guy by his corrupt, biased team and by its protege, who happened to be his teammate. Anything controversial which Alonso did himself that year can be put down to him having a problem - understandably - with the way he was being treated.
In the two years since, he's kept his nose pretty clean IMO, while reminding us why he's regarded as the best driver currently in F1 with many of his performances.
Schumacher's actions in 1994 and 1997 are stains on his character as much as they are because they were offences committed on the track rather than alleged offences committed off it, and there is no doubt that they happened, and no doubt as to their intent either.

I don't see what the problem is - it's not much different from football is it? He's hardly going to turn around and say 'Well i thought McLaren was the team for me, but i guess Ferrari will do'.
Im sure we can all agree Alonso is looking forward to working with Ferrari and betraying them at some point in the future.
I think Alonso has a degree of flexibility in what he says.
There are few drivers that can say things and easily get away with them. I feel his results speak for themselves. Sure he can slate whoever, but not everyone can.
This is a guy with two WC's to his name, with a third in succession narrowly missed in 2007. I am confident to gamble he is my favourite for this years WC.
Imagine he did win in 2007, and in such a short space of time, you have to rethink how good he actually is.
If you got the grades, you can gob what you like. Results talk.
Jenson drives it like he owns it; Lewis drives it like he stole it

Exactly! When EVERYONE actually would happily have you in their team, that's when you know you are definitely something.
Senna never drove for Ferrari. Schumacher never drove for McLaren. Both considered greats.
Personally, I actually rate Prost as being greater than Schumacher, PERSONALLY. But that is altogether the same old loophole argument.
Prost drove all three top teams of his time... McLaren, Ferrari AND Williams.
Alonso, like Prost, is consider an incredible driver, but overlooked as 'the best'. Prost was eclipsed by Senna, and Alonso has been eclipsed by Schumacher as far as the public opinion goes.

everyone? happily? really?
Neither Senna nor Schumacher had Brazilian or German companies become major sponsors of the teams they drove for.
But Alonso apparently installed himself?
Yeah, right.
