My reversing skills are impeccable, I think you must be confusing me with someone else who is backwardly challenged

Alonso's team are not as sharing with their info as they once were. Seems that ickle Lewis' dismissive comments a few weeks back that Alonso had not brought extra pace to the team is coming back to bite him on the ass!!

And you wonder why people get so p!ssed off with F1 when you cant even trust the teams within the teams to play fair. If "The Young Pretender" deserves to win the chapionship then he should be allowed to do so ..... at the end of the season if Alsonso wins, do you think people will be asking questions as to why Hamiltons car suddenly didnt perform as well as Alonso's? The team orders procession thingy was one of the reasons I stopped watching years ago.

I don't think it's on the car's performance but on the pilot's.. as Fortaleza well said the experience is there and definitely counts..

Surely, though, if I remember some other points you made correctly (which I may not have done!!!), you would prefer to see teams within teams - this means every driver for himself and not nº1 or nº2 drivers etc.

My point was that Alonso shared with the team his experience and got the set up of the car just right to get the maximum out of it. This, as per team orders, was being shared with the rest of the team. Hamilton benefitted - whether he likes it or not, or cares to admit it, he benefitted. One could argue that he took the info and took it on one stage further - I don't share that view but understand it being made.

Since the big fall-out at the beginning of August, they have been allowed to work "indepentanly" up to a point, and it now seems that one is benefitting by not having to share his tips and strategy, whilst the other is dependent on his own (admittedly considerable) ability.

Well thats true, but up to a month ago Hamilton was clearly doing much better and leaving Alonso in his trail. So has Hamiltons driving got worse? Has Alonso's improved? Or will there be a conspiricy theory rife that Alonsos car was given a better set up than Hamiltons?

exactly Alonso has sussed him out. Alonso was always the cleverer by distancing himself from mclaren -now we know- alonso is very clever - he is magician after all.

Now we'll see how good Hammy is, and If he is not at Mclaren next year (if they are racing) and a not so high performing car he wont win nothing,

And as for Ron Dennis well the FIA = Ferrari's Interest Always Ruling that Mclaren are now banned from the 2007 / 2008 Season's hopefully there will be nothing more of him and his cheating way's

People think this is good news for Hammy, I think this will scare him and now its Alonso's Title to lose.
