Button: Nothing wrong with McLaren steering http://www.espn.co.uk/mclaren/motorsport/story/195553.html Is Button using the same steering rack as Alonso? No. Alonso was using a special steering rack specifically made for him to suit his style. Same one that he used @ Ferrari and Renault. However for...

So McLaren have put up a mini written documentary on fernando's career. It includes some really interesting quotes from people that have not officially been released or posted either. A nice read :-) Here's part 1 'The Rising Star': http://www.mclaren.com/formula1/team/fernando-alonso/fernando-risin...

Yes I know there was a ban on team orders. I fail to see why that ban should be unnatural. Which may explain why I failed to understand why Alonso found it ridiculous to go racing, instead of broadcasting radio comedy. Ban on team orders was unnatural because it was always a part of the sport and i...

But my fourth, and most important question, concerns the terms of this present signing. Is Button to be no more than a number two driver? If so, why stay? Button himself is worth a second title, as much as Alonso merits a third. Only not at the expense of Button. Here, Fiki. “The content of the con...

I would have bet a year's wages that I would never see that photo while Alonso was still an F1 driver. This is going to take a bit of readjusting.

Try re-adjusting to this...

So Spanish TV did a documentary thingy on Alonso's last race for Ferrari. It's all narrated by Alonso himself. I don't understand any of it because it's all in Spanish, but it's still very very interesting :) This is part 1, which covers Thurs-Fri-Sat of abu dhabi: F1 Mi ultima carrera con Ferrari P...

http://giant.gfycat.com/RevolvingDelightfulGermanspaniel.gif I think Alonso was angry because he was pushed off the track. Hence Stella was like "he's got a lot to learn", or something along those lines. Vettel had the same, if not worse, attitude with karthikeyan in 2012 and Kobayashi in China. So...

A Finnish newspaper(TS), not any tabloid said that Alonso demanded to pick every mechanic he wants to his side of garage and that was a big no for Mattiacci. So Alonso wants Kimi to have leftovers and maybe his sloppy seconds that he dont like or find not up to his standards? No wonder Kimi is havi...

Apparently there are fears that the Ontake-volcano might still be active which might cause some major delays in flights etc., so hopefully all the teams and gear get there in time (Suzuka is just 200km from the volcano). There's that as well as a hurricane threat, but i think the majority of the ba...

Essentially shows how Alonso is a "scapegoat" for Ferrari, and how Ferrari essentially betrayed his trust and are going to attempt to blame their failures on him i think? (google translate can be a bit whacky!), and how his relationship with the team has broken down over the past few years. A google...

Both saying he was on for 2nd and that the other Ferrari was 45 seconds behind were statements meant to big himself up. He was on 10 lap fresher tyres at the end and had DRS most of the laps, yet couldn't pass Daniel. I'd say both statements require further support/explanation. Alonso pitted for ne...

What is starting to get old is the double standard, are you saying Alonso is best because he can place a car NOT to his liking higher in the grid? C-mon!

I think Spa showed how much closer to Alonso a comfortable Kimi is. Sure being adaptable is a huge part of what makes drivers better & in general Kimi is too sensitive to having the right feel for the car which, for me, puts Alonso on another level.

It was in response to the Italian media who were claiming he wasn't a team player and were claiming that he and Seb were going to have a direct seat swap I think.
