Points in his favor :
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

c) Pathetic vocal attributes , trouble with the English language which is why his words are often badly misinterpreted .
d) No respect for the sport , no respect for opposition , puts on a facade of fair play when all is not white with him .

Where I personally feel for Alonso is : When he joined McLaren Mercedes Benz he without doubt felt :
a) He would be the top priority for the team . He had absolutely no doubt that the team would rally around him , all the resources would be harvested in earnest to make sure that his quest for the world championship was not hindered in the slightest . This was made even more convincing to him by his team with policies adopted at Australia , Malaysia and in particular Monte-Carlo .
So after showing signs of backing Alonso why did the team turn to Hamilton ? Alonso had not shown any signs of guttering his team at any point until Spa .
To me , the reasons are simple : They are very simply financial reasons . Hamilton is a rookie , he is black (yes this counts like hell and I am not racist , Bernie kept mentioning this) , he hails from Britain and he is extremely extremely good when it comes to market forces . Ron Dennis clearly saw the revenue Hamilton could generate for him in no time .
Note : It was Hamilton who used the words 'I have the number two on my car' .... I don't think there was any need for that statement at all . It was this spark that absolutely made sure the forest is set on fire . He calls back markers 'monkeys' . I can absolutely ensure to you that you would never hear a driver in red overalls uttering those words and if he did , he would be sent packing .
Then we came to the real weekend : Hungary : I was in awe of Alonso , I think it was jus
