a) Brilliant driver ! Double World Champion for a reason , beat the legend of legends , has all the accomplishments to brag of . At the start of 2007 , very easily the most complete driver in Formula 1 .
b) Not just a quick driver with race craft , he also has always had the ability to test phenomenally well . He without any doubt in my mind had a major hand in the progress and emergence of McLaren as a brute force in '07 .
c) Brings in the sponsors . He has age on his side , he is a young champion , his nationality supports every bit of his championship status and though some don't agree with such points F1 bosses always look for driver's who aren't just quick but also provide a descent value in the market .
d) Extremely cool under pressure . No matter how bad the odds and how pathetic the situation outside he never seems to show any effects of it on the track which is a huge ability to possess .
e) A master at reading situations . Knows fully well when to attack and when to defend . I will put my house and life on the line and tell you that had he been in Hamilton's place at China that mistake would not have occurred . Not even if Alonso was asleep .
Points not in his favor :
a) Never known to be a team man , you just never know when the guy will turn around and stab you in the back .
b) Latin blood at it's best . Extremely impulsive , highly emotional and just can't and does not know how to keep his cool with microphone i
