Alonso and Hamilton "not on speaking terms"

Is it just me, or is Alonso a massive douche? The funny thing is, it sounds like Alonso stopped speaking to Hamilton, not vice versa. I know his behavior is nothing new, but this just seems really, really low, especially after the pit lane stunt during Hungarian qualifying. Sounds like some time off is what he needs to get over himself. Makes you wonder if he even enjoys what he does, if he's worried about his ego all the time?

All F1 drivers are massive dooshbags. Its part of the job descriptoin.

Ah like the good ol' McLaren-teammates-that-hate-each-other days of yore with Senna and Prost. I wonder if we'll see Alonso and Lewham take each other out(on purpose) before the end of the season.

I've disliked Alonso for a good while now, maybe since 2005 when he was talking shit about Honda or when he tried to say that he could finish top 5 in Moto GP with a little bit of practice.

In this case I'm not 100% sure that was Alonso's fault. Supposedly he was being held in the pits until his race engineer told him to go. I'm not fully convinced on that because one would think that the lollipop guy would not signal for Alonso to go until the race engineer gave him the ok.

Still, if I were Alonso I'd be pissed about the grid penalty too, although I would be pissed at the FIA first, then maybe Hamilton for screwing up the qualifying sequence. But whatever, Alonso is a big baby anyway. He hasn't taken kindly to getting shown up by his rookie teammate. Maybe he'll go back to Renault next year or something.

Maybe he'll go back to Renault next year or something.

One can only hope, damn is he entertaining though! It's like the NASCAR of Europe w/ all the 'drama' going on these days haha
