No, no dispute. Kovaleinen had bad luck this year since the start and has been driving in mediocre fashion a lot of the time. With Ferrari stronger than McLaren he was always going to be out of contention earlier in the season. Hamilton’s wins and points have mostly been in rain where, basically, his skills are at their best. Not the result of McLaren providing him with more chances. He undoubtedly has more influence on the team, but I hugely doubt that he makes or could make the same demands posed by Alonso at Renault, say.

Summing up the rest of the comments: Hamilton’s huge attitude problem, brings his dad, only popular with the politically correct. Hmm…

what a horrible little upstart this guy is.
overprotected by mr dennis-not responsable for his own actions.

im ashamed to be called british if this twerp is representing us (oh i forgot he is swiss now).

He has brought nothing but arguments and shame to f1 because of his attitude and the way he trys playing the race card I.e the appeal!!

I look at f1 now with all this bitching and arguing and it reminds me of the prost senna era its gone back in time.

mr ecclestone or mad max needs to lay the law down on all this to the teams.

i JUST HOPE FOR F1s sake that the man who has gone about his buisness quietly kubica wins as he is a true role model for all drivers.

Hamilton and alonso started all this bitching other drivers are involved now THIS is what i mean by bringing f1 into disripute.

Any thoughts on the much-talked about “McLaren Equality Policy” now; is there any dispute that Hamilton is their No 1 driver? And has also said as much in public. So let’s not just look at things from a British point of view, where Hamilton probably walks on water and also turns it into wine.

And here’s another thought – Alonso saying what he did about helping Massa seems anti-sporting to you; how would you react to something similar said by Hamilton? In that case, I suppose, it would just be his ‘aggressiveness as a true-blue racing driver!”.

Hamilton is a sublime driver, but with a huge attitude problem, and hopefully will not be able to hide behind Ron’s apron for ever.

Ofcourse Alonso does not want to see Lewis Hamilton succeed, and I seriously doubt he wants to see Felipe Massa win either. His comments are what they are, comments, words to get inside peoples heads.
When the visor comes down and the lights go out, their are no friends on the race track, just rivals. Michael Schumacher was a genius for unnerving rivals with clever little comments made to the press, which often got the better of his rivals. Its the same in any, professional sport when there is alot at stake.
I am not going to judge too harshly Alonso on his tactics concerning is profession. That is the way he is made, and why should he change? As Aryton Senna once said; “You cannot be a person who others want you to be, you gotta be yourself”.
