I think that “beaten by a rookie”, although a very popular comment is not factual: they ended up tied in points, which hardly could be described as “beaten”. You might argue that since Alonso was the current WDC he did punch below his weight, but there was a lot of fishy stuff going on, like FA snail´s pace in the final races. Anyways, if we side-line all the conspiracy theories on one side and the other, bottom line is they tied in points.

Sam, I think you have responded to the wrong post here. Having read your post, I gather you wanted to respond to Dieter 53. I am pretty much against what Mr. Dieter 53 in professing through his post.

If stupidality is a crime, you would be totured by FBI agents.

He made that speech in 2005 and MS wasn’t in the championship.

Jenson Button beat him last year, does that mean that Alonso have to be scared of him and retire?

MS had Prost,Senna,Mika,Kimi, a broken leg and a team that had no gear box department in 96.

He had gone through all those challenges and never gave up.
One (arguably) “tyre champion” won’t slow down a man like him.
Check out Alonso’s press conference in 2006 Brazil, he actually said he was very lucky to beat him. He does speak his mind, always.

I must say, I’m a HUGE Ferrari fan but I’m definitely no Alonso fan (don’t get me wrong, I respect his accolades as a driver and think he’s 1 of the best in terms of skill – I just don’t think he’s a great guy out of the car). However, seeing that photo and reading / listening to all the hype… Even I’m starting to get a little excited about the prospect of him racing for Ferrari. Still – GO MASSA!

That still doesn’t explain or solidify the pace of one and not the other. The reality is we can’t make anything out of these numbers.

Besides, the Merc looks even more like the RB5; everything from the nose to the side pods and the area around the pilot cabin is very Red Bull-esque.

Alonso is one of those guys that everything goes right for… in ’05 the McLaren’s fell apart and he won the title at Renault. McLaren stopped work on the ’06 early for the ’07 and it was a rocket for him. Last year Ferrari stopped working on their car early and it looks like he will get the best car at Ferrari as well now….
