Alonso, your opinion...

[bmagni]

So theres been a lot of talk bout Alonso in every topic of every single race, so why not open a topic dedicated to the man himself...

I'll post facts, and personal opinions, not stupid fanboy critics.

Q&A's

Is he good ?

Yes

How did he win last years championship ?

By being the most consistent driver, having one of the best cars and the most reliable.

Race by race:

Australia - 3rd place behind Barrichellos inferior Ferrari, Kimi 8th, had a problem with something stuck in the car or something like that, Schumacher retired.

Malaysia - Pole and 1st place, Kimi had a punctured tyre and finishes 9th

Bahrain - Pole and 1st place, Schumacher in an inferior car pushed him hard but retired cause of hydraulic failure, Kimi 3rd starting 9th.

San Marino - 1st place, Kimi had pole and a good advantage over him but retired, Schumacher started 13th and finished 2nd putting a lot of pressure under Alonso but couldn't overtake him.

Spain - 2nd place, Kimi pole and 1st place, Schumacher retired cause of a puncture. Ralf was over Alonso fighting for second place

Monaco - 4th place starting from 2nd, Kimi pole and 1st place, Shumacher 7th place and started 8th. Both of them had a 1 stop strategy and the 2nd and 3rd places had 2 stop strategy, somewhere in the middle Alonso started to loose big times per lap.

Nurburgring - started 6th and finished 1st, Kimi was in 1st with a great lead but started to have traction problems and went off track twice and finished 11th.

Canada - retired due to suspension problem, Kimi started 7th and won the race, Schumacher 2nd.

USA - no comments

France - pole and win. Kimi started 13th and finished 2nd. Schumacher 3rd.

Silverstone - 2nd starting from the pole. Montoya wins, Kimi 3rd starting 12th.

Germany - 1st place. Kimi had pole position but retired and was ahead of Alonso with a good lead.

Hungaroring - 11th he made a mistake and damaged his front wing, Kimi wins starting 4th and Schumacher is second with pole.

Turkey - 2nd, Kimi pole and win, Schumacher retired.

Italy - 2nd starting 2nd, Kimi 4th starting 11th.

Spa - 2nd, Kimi wins.

Brazil - 3rd starting from pole, Kimi 2nd, Montoya wins, the McLarens did an outstanding race, and Alonso being sooo good couldn't do anything.

Japan - 3rd and wins the Championship, started 16, couldn't get past Schumacher (who had an inferior car) for some laps and Kimi wins starting 17th.

Why is he on top this year ?

So far because of same thing as last year, being the most consitent driver and having the most reliable car.

Race by race

Bahrain - 1st starting 2nd, Schumacher 2nd starting from pole. Still Ferrari didn't have the right car, Kimi from last to 3rd.

Malaysia - 2nd starting from 7th, Kimi retired in the first lap, Ferrari changed engine on Schumachers car and were penalised with 10 places, making him start in 14th and finished 6th.

Australia - 1st starting 2nd, Kimi 2nd starting 3rd. Schumacher retired but didn't have a good car and made a bad choice of tyres.

San Marino - 2nd. Schumacher took a great lead until the problems started, he couldn't overtake him, the team took a bad decision for the pit stops and he almost loses it trying to overtake Schumacher. Kimi 5th.

Nurburgring - 2nd. A very close race with very similar cars performance wise. Who came victorious ? Schumacher.

Spain - 1st. Schumacher 2nd. Again Ferrari didn't have a fast enough car.

Monaco - 1st. Kimi was pushing him really hard but his car broke, he could have won easily. Besides that Schumacher had the pole but was penalised and started last from the pits, still he managed to finish 5th, at Monaco...

Britain - Same as Spain.

Why do I don't like him ?

Cause he is a prick. He contradicts himself with such things as not believing in luck and then saying he had bad luck. He said he could take on Valentino Rossi, and when Valentino challenged him, he chickened out. Cause he thinks hes the best pilot out there and that he took the Championship from Schumacher, both of which aren't really true.
Cause he thinks he won by being the best, when we all know he won cause of being consistent.

Whats the only thing I like about him ?

His face when he gets owned by Schumacher.

Am I mad because Shumacher doesn't win ?

No. I just don't like Alonso, hes gotta have one of the worst personalities ever. I don't care if Schumacher doesn't win, in fact I'm not a Schumacher fan, I'm a Ferrari fan. I don't care if anyone else wins (as long as its not Alonso) and I don't despise what others drivers do.
