same reason why most people covet the "1" plate on the president's car even if these same individuals are normally big fans of "77777", "88888" vanity plates and ****777 , or ****888 (*=alphabet of choice) license plates on their rides. :D

Reigning World Champion Fernando Alonso has widened his attack on the Renault team after losing his championship lead in China.

The 25-year-old, who in the Spanish press this week accused his team colleagues of abandoning the quest for his drivers' title, has now been quoted as criticising team-mate Giancarlo Fisichella's tactics on the Shanghai circuit.

While Ferrari boss Jean Todt hinted this week that Fisichella's precision driving on the straights was tantamount to illegal blocking, Alonso attacked his Roman cohort for overtaking him.

Alonso reportedly told Sport-Informations-Dienst: "In the same situation I don't believe that (Ferrari's) Massa would have driven past Schumacher.
"

A Renault spokesman, however, insisted that 33-year-old Fisichella 'drove purely for the team' in the Chinese Grand Prix.

And he said of Spaniard Alonso: "There is no problem at all with the relations between him and the team."

[SIZE="4"]Tomorrow we expect Alonso to hit out at global warming, which must also be responsible for the loss of the championship lead.[/SIZE]

hehehe, but like I said before, I don't believe Alonso was making those statements, I think that's Tabloid reporting....

kayo talaga

errrr. then that is tantamount to libel then. I dont think the journalists involved arent that dumb enough to go down through that road and besides all these statements are consistent with the ones he made in the past.

hey, if that's your opinion, cool!

True or not, conspiracy or whatever, my money is on Alonso but my heart is on Schumi.

My thoughts are: CAPSIS doesn't make enough money to waste time suing.

And it's ridiculous to think Renault will not want their drivers to get the top podium step. It does give them more points as constructors.
