Fare comment the guy shure nows what he's doing behind the stearing and in fact in the garage/pits i think, compared to the likes of Hamster. Thats why conflicts arose, in the Mcliar camp back in the day they where supposed to be team mates! He (FA) just didnt want to be a yes man and obey the team orders like JB has obviuosly been doing. I can take to the idea of him being shy too like a lot of medeteranian people are...the Mcliar days for him must have been misery with arrogant LH about!

Hmmmm

Big charm offensive post hockenhiem after a few race wins now they have a stab at the championship.

A fanstastically gifted driver but hugely arrogant, he's not the 1st WDC to be like that (Schumacher especially springs to mind in his early career) but he's right up there in the pre-madonna stakes so I don't buy that press release. It's like a Matt Wilson press release saying this is his rally and he'll be on the podium, you know it's just b0llocks :)

Hamilton was pretty arrogant early in his career but he seems to have matured and to call him arrogant next to Alonso is pretty amusing.

I have followed fernando from the start of his career and never find him arrogant.whenever he gives an interview he always uses we (including all the team )ie we had a good race he never says i like some of the other drivers do, who i would call arrogant. When he lived in Oxford while driving for renault everybody said how nice he was always took the time to speak to people,It was the year at Mclaren when he got all the bad publicity that changed some peoples opinion of him, I think he was treated very badly there and cannot put the record straight because of the gagging order he has on him for being allowed to leave his contract early.I hope one day the truth will all come out.

And this is EXACTLY why Alonso's saying this. Everyone thinks they know who he is and what he's like from what they've seen or heard on TV. No one but his friends and family know what he's really like.

DON'T EVER, EVER put Senna in the same sentence as Alonso, you just can't, one is the best F1 driver the world has ever seen the other is a baby with an oversized head.

I suppose little things like a team mate having to put there car into walls for him and Team mates having to move over for him,attempted blackmail of his boss makes him a perfect little angel does it.

I only get to see him once a fortnight and read about him in newspapers and magazines and what i see makes me not like him.

I think they should name Alonso Schultz from hogans heroes because he always went around saying "i know nothing-NOTHING" when there was any trouble.
