And do not forget he nearly lost the 2008 championship because of FIA bias – not to mention FIA intimidating him in 2007 with stewards in the McLaren garage (Brazil) after a $100 million penalty earlier in the season!

Is it just me or does the Williams look more compact than the McLaren and Ferrari?

It’s a bit hard to tell because of the angle, but the wheelbase looks shorter

RB5 was more than a nose.

You’re right I can’t see what the debate is about either!

FACT: Hamilton was 2nd in the Championship and Alonso was 3rd.
FACT: Hamilton 109 points Alonso 109 points
FACT: Hamilton 4 wins Alonso 4 wins
FACT: Hamilton finished ahead of Alonso in 7 out of 17 races & Alonso finished ahead of Hamilton in 10 out of 17 races.

There’s nothing between them!!! If Alonso needs a car advantage to beat Hamilton, then Hamilton needs a car advantage to beat Alonso!

FACT: In 2008 Alonso finished ahead of Hamilton in 7 out of 18 races with a car disadvantage.

The record books don’t lie!

Jenson will be the underdog

Interesting article. The flip side to that coin is that if you polled most McLaren fans they would probably all claim that Alonso and Ferrari are the biggest threats for 2010. Drivers who will fight for the title.

Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, Massa.

2010 World Champion. Sebastien Vettel

2. Fernando Alonso 3. Lewis Hamilton 4. Felipe Massa.

Vettel to win by a point, Alonso and Hamilton within a point of each other. Massa one or two points behind Hamilton.

I don’t like hamilton, don’t like his attitude, he’s quick but only in a good car, he might even show something in a not too good car like he did last season when McLaren was struggling to keep up with the front runner, though I think there are better drivers than him, let’s not forget he won that 2008 championship thanks to the well known italian incompetence at the Scuderia, their broken engines and bizarre errors cost 23 points to Massa, that’s why hamilton won that season

And if I were in the grid, I would probably “fear” Alonso, Kimi (if he were there) Vettel and others instead of hamilton, that’s for sure

1. After the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix, Ron Dennis said “We weren’t racing Kimi, we were basically racing Fernando.” The Times said his comments “made a nonsense of his claims to be treating his drivers equitably in the World Championship run”.
2. It is known that Fernando had to sign a “non-disclosure agreement before being allowed to leave Mclaren at the end of 2007. Does this agreement ever expire?

I really have no need to argue over this, as I think Lewis is a very good driver, although I simply disagree when you state that HAM beat ALO with equal machinery in ’07.

These guys haven’t retired… and I have the feeling that this year, unlike ’08 and ’09 they just might be able to fight for the Championship on cars with a similiar performance level.

Let’s get ready to rumble….

FACT: 2nd in the championship was Hamilton and 3rd was Alonso.
FACR: Hamilton beat Alonso (the world champion) in his rookie season.

Can’t see what the debate’s about, the record books don’t lie
