Disrespectful Alonso!
 
When asked by Webber what the black armband was for on his (Alonso's) arm he replied "don't know, some italian thing". It was actually to a mark of respect for 4 italian soldiers killed in Afghanistan!!!

If he were asked to wear a pink garter around his leg would he do so? Are thses drivers really just muppets for the teams they drive for?

Damn right disrespectful ****

Alonso is about as classless as they come, the guy is a lying paranoid spoilt prick.

Obebtetibre 10-15-2010 10:17 PM

what about when questioned about the overtake by Massa... lied through his teeth.

Go Vettel!!!!!

Alonso probably has a few character flaws and is undoubtedly self-occupied, egotistical, and a primadonna, but arguably that is needed to reach the top levels of success in F1.

I am no fan of his, and am not really trying to defend anything, but I COULD imagine that a F1 driver gets pulled in 1000 different directions all the time by people wanting this or that, while at the same time trying to prepare for what they really came for... the RACE. As such, it wouldn't be inconceivable that his attentions were elsewhere while someone slipped that on to his arm...

I'm yet to see proof that he didn't know what it was for.

Care to show us some proof?

Drivers are muppets, teams are also muppets. Everyone is a muppet. The world is full of them.

I don't like Alonso but this is a non-issue, the drivers cannot be expected to know everything. And besides, Alonso is Spanish, not Italian.

DoctorGordanBens 10-16-2010 06:30 PM

Maybe Alonso just wasn't interested about what the armband was for. Doesn't make him a nice person but maybe that was the truth.

Or another option was that so soon after the race, he was in a bit of a fluster and it had slipped his mind.

Could be any of these things or more...

We will probably never know.

I never really bought into that argument, for every Piquet, Alonso or Senna there are twice as many "well adjusted", conscientious and professional champions in the vein of Clarke, Fangio, Hill(G,P or D!) or Button.
I don't think success is incumbent on leaving common decency at the door.

But I suppose F1 needs its heels as much as it needs its heroes.

Drysnyaty 10-17-2010 11:09 PM

Has this ever been proven? I thought it was one of those "he said she said" moments which wasn't actually captured on telly or by any credible witness.

Ah well, let's not stop there. I heard that Vettel didn't know the Chilean miners had been rescued. B--tard.

DeronBoltonRen 10-18-2010 12:32 AM

not a nice thing to say , still a great driver though

I'm no longer a fan of Alonso, but this thread has no purpose other than to bash the chap for a non racing incident which can't be proved so it seems. When Lewis was caught 'hooning' in Oz earlier in the season we had a similar style thread and it got out of hand. I can't see the point of this at all.

I heard from a mate who did some building work at a hairdressers near a factory that supplies parts to the people who did the air-conditioning at the Mercedes HQ that Nico Rosberg once had a meal at a restaurant and didn't leave a tip. What a git.

This is fun, leave the thread open. http://www.motorsportforums.com/imag...ies/tongue.gif

Mika Hakkinen once knocked a pen out of my hand whilst leaning over during a signing and by the time I had picked it up, he was 4 metres further down the line!! I mean really!

"May a yuletide log fall from his fire and burn his house down", I remember thinking. http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif

I've never felt so bad in hindsight. http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/ermm.gif http://www.motorsportforums.com/images/smilies/eek.gif
