also Kovalainen ... has show great pace this year in a rubbishy lotus.
He showed little pace in a McLaren that was the class of the field in 2008. Hard to believe the Lotus is making him look good.

Fernando and hamilton were the fastest in 2007, and were beaten because the ferrari was much faster. same story in 2008, although this time hamilton had a little more support from Kovalainen and just took the championship. the ferrari was the faster car in 07 and 08. Kovalainen is not as fast as hamilton... but then again, in an equal car neither was alonso. kovalainen seems to have picked up his pace, if he is running with the williams and the saubers and a lotus....

Oh please, do stop this rubbish. Ron The Cheat Dennis favoured Hammo from the off, which naturally peed off Alonso (who was a double WC), yet they both finished equal on points. Hammo merely had more 2nd places, not race wins (both equal on 4 apiece). Yeah, maybe Alonso did act up a bit, but can you blame him when Ron Dennis treated him so badly? It's credit to Alonso that he still gave it his best in spite of the obvious animosity between him and Ron The Cheat Dennis.
Oh, and Hammo only won the WC when he was no.1 driver and had Kovalaainen alongside him.
Lewis Hamilton isn't as fast as Jenson Button.

Ferrari seem to have done pretty well by operating a 'Number One driver and his less able team-mate' system
if by pretty well you mean 3rd rate, then yes, pretty well indeed, even Alonso couldn't make them consistant enough
as for Alonso v Hamilton at maclaren, points mean prizes and Alonso simply didn't have enough

Neither did Hammo.

Neither did Hammo.
he had enough for the judges to take it to wins, which is where nando came up short

sorry, forgot it was number of 2nd places which Hamilton beat alonso on in 2007...
yes, hamilton has been in more collisions and picked up fewer points than Button so far this year, and generally been harder on his tyres... But "Hamilton is slower than Button" is a stupid thing to say, when Hamilton Qualifies in front of Jenson most races. Lewis was faster in qualifying and the races last year. I'm not a fan boy of any driver, nor do I dislike any, with the slight exception of Pastor Maldonado, although I tend to root for the British trio, in particular Paul Di Resta and Button.

Ron The Cheat
Dennis favoured Hammo from the off,Not really. LH wasn't privvy to the Ferrari spy information while Alonso the Cheat (by the same logic) was. in fact FA was actively involved in the cheating, asking for quite specific information from the spy.
it was only when LH started to match FA and beat him that it started to go wrong as FA, rightly as it turned out, complained that it could lead to losing the WC to Ferrari. Up till then FA was McLaren's golden boy and no one thought LH would match him so the issue of team orders was irrelevant.

Hope that no decent driver (PdiR especially) doesn't head to Ferrari, they are well known for favouring one driver and I think Alonso will be wanting this approach too. Feel sorry for Massa but think he's in a very good seat for someone who isn't ever going to set the world alight.

I've already explained this. Please keep up.
Of course, it was Lewis Hamilton's experience in F1 with his two WC's that helped develop the 2007 (and subsequently 2008) McLarens, of course. Nothing to do with Fernando Alonso, oh no, nothing at all...

Ellfin - so what cars had Alonso developed since which have become world beaters? in my opinion, one of the most over-rated drivers on the grid. Jamie Algu in a Ferrari next year would be good (or will alonso allow it considering he stopped Heikki going to Renault)
