Alonso still the most hated man in F1?
April 11, 2010
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Yes, Fernando Alonso is making new enemies again after only three races into the 2010 F1 season. In case you didn’t know, he kicked off the new season for his new teammates from Ferrari with a win in Bahrain but after failing to get a podium finish in the last two races, Alonso is back to what he does best, talking.
You read it, Fernando Alonso is talking again, only this time, he’s not talking about how much he hates Lewis Hamilton or how pathetic he thinks Renault is. This time, he’s talking about team Red Bull and how insignificant he thinks Red Bull’s one-two finish in Malaysia is.
It was indeed a one-two finish for team Red Bull in Sepang where Sebastian Vettel, starting from the three spot on the grid, went on to score his first win of the season. He was followed by Mark Webber who, despite having secured pole position in Malaysia, finished just 4 seconds behind his Red bull teammate.
STILL, it was a one-two finish for Red Bull as they close in on McLaren for the second spot in the race for this year’s constructor’s title. But as far as Fernando Alonso is concerned, Red Bull got the one-two not because of their drivers but because of the mistakes he and his team made during qualifying.
”They have three pole positions, but the three wins I’m not sure, because we were very quick in Bahrain and we were maybe quicker than them in Australia,” Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso said.
”Here it was a strange race, too easy for them because we made a mistake in qualifying. We are not too worried at the moment. It’s a very long championship and we are capable of improving the car a lot. We know in which areas we need to improve the car, so I’m more or less confident that we can have the best car in the next few races.”
”As always you need the consistency to be champion, but also you need to be fast. We are only in the third race so it’s normal that the leader changes in the first races. You need a few races to settle down the championship.”
”As usual, you need to finish all the races if possible and to take points, but also especially with the news points system you need to win races as well, because it’s a good reward of 25 points.”
”At the moment it’s open with many drivers around 30 points. But as I said, when the championship goes to the end I’m sure only two or three drivers will fight for it.”
And you know who Alonso thinks who will be one of ‘em.
